Jisoo’s recent comments about BLACKPINK’s upcoming comeback in 2026 have drawn unnecessary criticism, as some fans misinterpreted her remarks as a rivalry with BTS.
In a recent interview with ELLE Korea, BLACKPINK’s Jisoo shared that the group’s next album is set to be released in early 2026, alongside her anticipated solo project. However, her comments were misinterpreted by some fans, who believed they suggested a rivalry with BTS’s upcoming return.
Many supporters defended Jisoo, emphasizing that her remarks were not new information, as YG Entertainment had already hinted at delays in BLACKPINK’s schedule. They argued that the adjustments in the group’s timeline were unrelated to BTS, and that any speculation regarding competition is unfounded.
Fans expressed frustration over the backlash, noting that Jisoo’s comments were meant to convey her excitement about new music rather than instigate a comparison with another group. Ultimately, her statements were seen as straightforward, with the surrounding criticism being viewed as unnecessary noise.
