SEOUL, February 14 (AJP) - Jisoo, a member of K-pop girl group BLACKPINK, is releasing her solo mini album on Friday, according to her agency Blisoo.

The album "AMORTAGE" marks her first solo album in nearly two years since her single "ME" in March 2023.

To convey the album's themes of love and breakups, the word was coined by combining "amor," the Spanish word for love, with "montage," a cinematic technique of juxtaposing different scenes.

The album features four tracks: two Korean songs, "earthquake" and "TEARS," and two English songs, "Your Love" and "Hugs & Kisses."

The title track, "earthquake," portrays the excitement of new love and intense emotions for a beloved one. "Tears" conveys the attempt to hide the sadness of a breakup behind a bright façade.

Jisoo is also meeting fans at an event to promote the album at a theater in southern Seoul before embarking on a tour to seven Asian cities including Bangkok, Manila, and Tokyo.

Meanwhile, Jisoo is branching out into her career as an actress, recently starring in streaming platform Coupang Play's zombie comedy series "Newtopia," which was released earlier this month.
