JISOO has officially joined her BLACKPINK bandmates in the Hot Ones hall of fame. The singer appeared on the hit interview show on July 30, 2026, and she didn’t just eat wings. She opened up about her highly anticipated debut solo album, calling it a‘much bigger adventure’than anything she’s done with the group. After years of sharing the spotlight, JISOO is ready to show her true colors. Her February 2025 EP AMORTAGE was just the beginning, and fans are buzzing about what comes next.
But the most surprising moment? JISOO revealed she eats spicy food before concerts on purpose. She explained that it relaxes her throat and helps her sing better, which is a total game-changer for anyone who thought hot sauce was just for fun. She handled the heat like a pro for most of the interview, but even she hit her limit, reaching for milk and ice cream during the final wings. Her favorite English phrase, learned from bandmates JENNIE, ROSÉ, and LISA, is‘Piece of cake’— which is ironic, given how intense the show gets.
BLACKPINK’s EP Deadline dropped in February 2026 and hit No. 8 on the Billboard 200, proving the group’s dominance is far from over. But JISOO is carving her own path now. She’s showing that even after global superstardom, there’s always room to grow. What do you think JISOO’s solo album will sound like? Drop your predictions in the comments.
