BLACKPINK members Jennie, Jisoo and Lisa are lining up new solo projects following the group’s Deadline world tour, with fresh tracks rolling out in the coming weeks. 

Their new solo songs are set to drop just days and weeks apart.

Jennie’s summer soundtrack

Jennie was the first to announce her new solo project, an EP titled “Fallen Angel,” set to be released on August 28.

According to OA Entertainment, the agency that manages the singer, the digital EP will include three tracks: the title track “Fallen Angel,” “Heaven” and “Less than a Lover.”

The physical edition of the EP, meanwhile, will feature six tracks, including three additional songs — “Sweettooth,” “Lockitdown” and “Face.”

Jennie said she hopes her fans will enjoy “Fallen Angel” as something to remember the summer by.

Teasing the new EP, Jennie shared a vintage-inspired poster on Instagram, in which she wears a cap and layers of pearls against a grainy black-and-white backdrop.

The caption also reads, “I’m searching, I’m searching, I’m searching for a love,” hinting at the romantic theme of the upcoming release.

A full-length album for Jisoo?

Jisoo followed up with the announcement of her new single, “Click,” which is set to be released on September 4.

While other details of the track are yet to be revealed, the pop star released a short teaser video showing cards and teddy bears, giving fans a glimpse of her new solo concept.

She also updated her Instagram profile picture to further tease the upcoming release.

In the photo, she wears a sleek black dress and gold accessories while striking a confident pose.

Fans are now speculating that “Click” will serve as a preview of Jisoo’s first full-length solo album, following the release of her 2025 EP “Amortage.”

Lisa goes back to her roots

Lisa, meanwhile, announced that she will release a six-track EP titled “PRESS PLAY” on October 23.

Ahead of the EP, she will drop its first single, “SaWaDiKa,” on September 3.

The Thailand-born K-pop idol is going back to her roots with “SaWaDiKa,” as the title is inspired by the Thai greeting “sawasdee ka.”

Lisa also teased the new single in a seven-second clip on her Instagram Story, which previews the song’s upbeat and pop-leaning sound.

The artist also shared a poster where she looks elegant in a black dress, with her long hair flowing dramatically to one side.
