The star also shared her new favorite English phrase and why she loves spicy foods before shows.
All the members of BLACKPINK have now taken the Hot Ones challenge, with JISOO completing the tetrad by appearing on the Thursday (July 30) episode of the show and opening up about her new album, favorite English phrases and why she loves eating spicy foods before performances.
Though bandmates JENNIE, ROSÉ and LISA each struggled to handle the spice overload on their respective episodes, host Sean Evans noted that JISOO might fare the best, having heard that she has the highest tolerance of the group. (During her 2025 appearance on the web series, JENNIE even made a plea for JISOO to try her hand at the hot-sauce lineup.)
For the most part, the South Korean singer-actress was solid as she ate the increasingly spicy hot wings while answering Evans’ questions, starting with details about her first solo full-length coming soon. “I made the effort to show a variety of charms,” she said of the project. “Whether it’s musical styles that I really liked or putting in different styles I liked listening [to], it was to add a bit of color to the album.”
“Going from doing everything with a group to creating a solo mini album last year, I felt the need to further explore my true colors through this adventure I’m on,” JISOO continued. “I’ve started a much bigger adventure this time that I will work hard with everyone to overcome.”
