Get ready to lose your mind because Jisoo is dropping an explosive new solo track on September 4 as the ultimate teaser for her first-ever full-length album! BLACKPINK's Jisoo is back with her new EP - https://www.allkpop.com/ BLACKPINK's Jisoo is about to make a massive comeback with her brand new pre-release single, which is set to drop in September 2026! This will be in advance of her first-ever full-length solo LP; talk about a high-profile drop! Jisoo has also promised to showcase a major evolution as a solo artist, and news about this has already been igniting the K-pop industry. Was the Timing Planned Around the 10th Anniversary? The Dojeon Media team and global BLINKS have been wondering if BLACKPINK members had planned to release their new music at a similar time, after discussing it and planning it around their 10th anniversary, since there was no BLACKPINK release or show. Jennie released a brand new track around late August, and now Jisoo! Or could these simply be independent time frames? Fan Anticipation BLINKS are raving across social media over the cinematic teasers and world-class production values directed by Grammy-winning Joseph Kahn, which we will all recognize when we listen to the masterful track. Fans are also especially thrilled to see that Jisoo is finally delivering a full-length album instead of a short digital single, like other K-pop artists these days! Compared to Rose, Jennie, or Lisa, Jisoo has not been profiled as much in the news or public eye, so we really do hope this new album brings her further success! Inspiration & Creativity Writing new music is no easy task, and when it comes to finding inspiration, artists often struggle with ideas or write about a true-life event. Jisoo's new music is rumored to draw from a deep inspiration from dark, cinematic, and a slightly more mature emotional story. This is a slightly different approach to the standard K-pop formula, and we really hope that this sets Jisoo apart from other artists. This brand new solo era for Jisoo is an opportunity for her to grow closer to her fans, and allow fans to peel back the layers of her personal artistic identity, and gain a more intimate connection with Jisoo like never before. What the Single "CLICK" Is About Jisoo's pre-release track will feature scenes and lyrics about self-reinvention, resilience, and breaking free from external expectations. We wonder if this is perhaps talking about her time as a trainee, being a band member, and now setting her own goals as an independent artist? By setting the goal of releasing her first-ever full-length LP, this pre-release track will act as a brand new chapter for Jisoo! Check out the teaser! Artistic Direction Director Joseph Kahn is well known for hiding complex Easter eggs and narrative call-backs within his blockbuster music videos. BLINKS are already dissecting every teaser frame to uncover clues about her upcoming album's storyline. Fun Fact Director Joseph Kahn is famous for hiding complex Easter eggs and narrative call-backs within his blockbuster music videos. Fans are already dissecting every teaser frame to uncover clues about her upcoming album's storyline. Jisoo's music video was filmed in Bangkok, Thailand, the home of fellow member Lisa. The final M/V! Final Thoughts The Dojeon Media team cannot wait for the full pre-release track and album to be released. This new chapter is both a terrifying and exciting moment for Jisoo, as she paves her way as an independent artist. This era is guaranteed to shatter records and redefine her musical legacy. "CLICK" drops on Friday, September 4 at 1:00 PM KST. #Jisoo #Blackpink #KPopNews #JisooSolo #NewMusic #JisooComeback

Discover the rugged cliffs, emerald waters, and untouched wilderness of Korea’s ultimate island escape. Ulleungdo - Lewis Hooper Ulleungdo is one of Korea’s best-kept secrets. Located about 160 miles off the mainland coast, Ulleungdo boasts emerald waters, jagged cliffs, and lush volcanic landscapes. Because it is currently only accessible to tourists by boat, it demands a bit of commitment to reach. Ulleungdo - Lewis Hooper Ulleungdo has long been referred to as the "Mysterious Island," thanks to fierce natural barriers that have successfully kept mass commercialization at bay, offering an untamed wilderness for those willing to cross the open ocean. Our writer, Lewis Hooper, recently visited Ulleungdo and Dokdo island courtesy of IWIK (International World In Korea) and the Ulleungdo County Government to see how they plan to attract more tourists and seasonal workers to the islets. The Gateway: Getting There from Pohang Port Pohang Port, in the south of Korea, serves as the main gateway to the islets. Depending on the weather, it takes around three hours to travel from Pohang to Ulleungdo by ferry. You can choose a high-speed passenger catamaran for a fast but potentially choppy three-hour sprint, or opt for the massive overnight cruise ferry out of Yeongilman New Port for a smooth, six-and-a-half-hour sleep in a private cabin. Ulleungdo - Lewis Hooper Because the East Sea is notoriously unpredictable, ferry schedules remain highly weather-dependent, making a flexible itinerary and motion sickness remedies essential. If you do feel motion sickness, it's recommended to buy anti-sickness medicine before traveling, as the sea at times can get fairly choppy. Ulleungdo - Lewis Hooper High-Speed Ferry: Economy seats cost around ₩81,000–₩86,500 (USD 53.00-56.00) one-way, while upgrading to Business or First Class costs about ₩91,000–₩95,000 (USD 59.00-62.00). As the mission was partly sponsored by the ferry company, Lewis traveled in Business Class on both legs of the trip. The seats were spacious, equipped with charging ports, and offered significantly more legroom than the economy seats on the lower deck. Ulleungdo - Lewis Hooper Overnight Cruise: Budget-friendly, 6-person shared rooms cost ₩70,000–₩80,000 (USD 45.00-52.00) one-way, whereas premium private rooms and luxury suites scale up from ₩173,000 (USD 112.00) to over ₩860,000 (USD 558.00). Volcanic Vistas: The Cable Car Ulleungdo - Lewis Hooper During his time on Ulleungdo, Lewis visited one of the island's most dramatic vertical viewing points, which became a major highlight of his trip. To fully grasp just how vertical the island is, the cable car experience is the best way to take in the dramatic landscapes, all from the peak of Manghyangbong. On clear days, you can even spot the Dokdo islets in the distance. Cheonbu Underwater Observatory Ulleungdo - Lewis Hooper This underwater observatory is amazing! It was one of the biggest surprises of the trip, mainly thanks to the crystal-clear waters and beautiful coastline. At only ₩4,000 (USD 2.60) for entry, it is a must-visit that allows visitors to immerse themselves in the island's marine culture first-hand. The Underwater Observatory plunges you six meters below the surface inside a wild marine sanctuary. Ulleungdo - Lewis Hooper Here, you can watch schools of indigenous cold-water fish and dense kelp forests through reinforced viewing windows—perfect for grabbing amazing photos! Even the walkway leading up to the observatory is a destination in itself. The Ultimate Sunset It has been said in the past that Jeju Island has Korea’s most beautiful sunset. However, after visiting Ulleungdo, Lewis begs to differ. Ulleungdo features an unspoiled skyline that allows you to catch the night glow, stunning sunsets, and even stargaze. Ulleungdo - Lewis Hooper The best sunset vantage point is found near the Taeha Lighthouse and Hyangmok Observatory, easily accessible via a steep cliffside monorail, which was also an amazing experience and offered a natural and scenic walk. From this spot, the late afternoon sun bathes the wrinkled rock faces in a deep golden hue just before the darkness reveals the flashing halogen lights of local squid fishing boats starting their nightly hunt. Look closely, and you will notice numerous squid fishing boats scattered all around the island! Sea Snail Rice & Volcanic Pumpkin Taffy Ulleungdo’s extreme historical isolation forced residents to rely entirely on what could be caught or grown in the rich, mineral-heavy volcanic soil. As a result, local comfort food revolves around Honghapbap (Mussel Rice) and Ttagaebibap (Sea Snail Rice), which feature short-grain rice cooked to savory perfection in rich, briny shellfish broths. Lewis tried these during his trip and found them delicious—especially alongside the array of homemade local side dishes that accompanied the meal. Pumpkin ale was also available at many of the island’s convenience stores and local shops, along with pumpkin soju. For a long time, pumpkins have been the natives' go-to sweet dessert, making their way into a whole host of local products and dishes. The pumpkin ale was spectacular and a must-try if you get the opportunity! Ulleungdo - Lewis Hooper IWIK & County Tourism Push During his sponsored trip, Lewis attended an Ulleung County Government meeting hosted by IWIK, the organization in charge of running the tour. The purpose of the trip was to spread awareness about the island's ecology and sustainability, as well as its drive to attract both international tourists and seasonal workers. Ulleungdo / IWIK - Lewis Hooper Because Ulleungdo is currently only accessible by boat, travel remains a challenge for international tourists and locals alike. However, a domestic airport is slated to open in 2027, which will allow for much easier access. The meeting was highly successful and could truly transform Ulleungdo's once-isolated tourism sector into a more international affair in the near future. Final Thoughts For Lewis, Ulleungdo was an incredible destination that he hopes more international tourists get to experience while visiting Korea. In his eyes, Ulleungdo's landscapes are much more untouched than Jeju's, and the waters are even more breathtaking. The friendly local community made the experience that much more memorable. As South Korea races rapidly into a technological future, this isolated volcanic fortress remains beautifully, stubbornly wild—an unspoiled destination that truly showcases the heart and generosity of Korean culture. #Ulleungdo #KoreasHiddenGem #UlleungdoIsland #IslandAdventure #HiddenKorea #BoatTrip
