Get ready for some exciting news in the world of music! JISOO from BLACKPINK is about to drop a surprise duet with none other than Zayn Malik, and the buzz surrounding this collaboration could spark quite a conversation in the fandom.
On October 6, 2025, JISOO took to social media to share an enigmatic teaser image, which featured a shadowy male figure positioned behind her. The image bore the intriguing text “EYESCLOSED,” hinting at a collaboration on the horizon. In her post, she tantalizingly wrote, "A duet is near.” A follow-up post brought the mysterious male silhouette even closer, with the words: “two voices, one orbit. coming soon.”
This mystery partner has been confirmed to be Zayn Malik, the former member of the globally acclaimed band One Direction.
In the teaser, the striking visual depicts JISOO prominently in focus, while the male figure stands stealthily behind her, creating an air of suspense about the impending release.
Interestingly, Zayn had been spotted at BLACKPINK’s concert in New York on July 27, where he attended with his daughter, Khai. After the show, he expressed his enjoyment by posting a photo with the caption: "@BLACKPINKOFFICIAL THANK YOU 🙂 ME & KHAI LOVED IT," which led fans to speculate about his connection with JISOO and the rest of the group.
This forthcoming duet will be JISOO's first release since her solo EP "Amortage" dropped earlier this year in February, a project that included popular tracks like "Earthquake," "Your Love," and "Hugs & Kisses."
Currently, JISOO is on BLACKPINK's Deadline world tour, which kicked off in Seoul this past July. The tour will continue its momentum with a stop in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, on October 18, following a brief hiatus after the group's performances in London in August.
