Jisoo released new music, rumored to combine One Direction members, imitating Rosé?

Jisoo - BLACKPINK 's eldest sister - recently made the fan community "wake up" when she released a teaser image for her next solo project.

In the photo, she appears with long black hair, cold-toned makeup and a tight-fitting black outfit, showing off her bare shoulders and bold cuts.

Jisoo's visuals are commented to be both sharp and attractive, showing more maturity and personality than the image of the "muse" that she was often attached to before. With just one concept, fans have "stood still" and talked enthusiastically about this drastic style change.

Not only making social networks "explode" because of her appearance, Jisoo is also the focus of international cooperation rumors. According to many sources in the world, she will release a duet song with British male singer - Zayn Malik , called "Eyes Closed". If this information is accurate, this will be the first time Jisoo has collaborated with a European and American artist in his solo career, marking a big step forward after the EP "Amortage" was released earlier this year.

International fans were extremely excited, as the blend of Jisoo's deep voice and Zayn's signature R&B quality promised to create a catchy and deep love song.

Jisoo's choice to collaborate with Western artists is no coincidence. This is an increasingly popular trend in the K-pop world, helping artists expand their global influence while demonstrating their ability to adapt to a variety of musical styles. For Jisoo, this step has an even more special meaning: it shows that she not only wants to assert herself as a "national visual" but also an artist with an international vision, daring to challenge her limits.

However, as soon as the news spread, social networks quickly erupted into a debate around whether Jisoo was "walking the path" of Rosé - the sister of the group who had collaborated with Bruno Mars in a previous solo project. Many opinions say that this direction is quite similar: they are all combined with European and American artists, all have built a mature and internationalized image. Many people also think that the management company is applying the old formula to each BLACKPINK member to maintain the heat.

However, there are also many critical views that Jisoo's cooperation with Zayn cannot be called "imitation". Firstly, the background and musical direction of the two people are completely different. Rosé stands out for her light, emotional voice, which is suitable for pop and soul songs with American sounds, while Jisoo has a deep ballad and R&B color, close to the British style.

Secondly, Jisoo is in the process of transforming her image – from gentle to charming, personality – and pairing with Zayn is the logical choice to show that change.

Moreover, in today's music industry, it is natural for artists to pursue the trend of international fusion. K-pop is no longer a closed market; Each product is calculated to be global. From a strategic perspective, Jisoo is not "imitating" Rosé but is following the general development direction of the modern generation of K-pop artists - a direction that focuses on cultural connection and spreading influence to the world.

Fans also pointed out that Jisoo always has her own way of expressing her identity. From her charisma, fashion sense to the way she handles the song, every detail exudes uniqueness. If Rosé chooses to be introverted, gentle, Jisoo is strong, arrogant, and full of temperament. It is that opposition that makes the two unable to be considered copies of each other.
