Recently, it was announced that Jisoo would be performing at Coachella in April of 2027 making her the third member of Blackpink to perform a solo set at Coachella. This, of course, had garnered a lot of discourse due to her talent, discography, and the gap of international popularity between her and the other members of Blackpink. However, when I had heard the announcement, I, for one, was excited to see what she can bring to the table as a performing solo act just like Jennie, Rose (Global Citizen’s Festival), and Lisa. I think that she needs to right type of song selections for a crowd like Coachella and her recent songs had contained pop elements in them. For example, when Blackpink had headlined back in 2023, there were a lot of praises towards her regarding her vocal ability and live singing while performing with the group and by herself.
The only criticism was the song choice as some fans had felt that she should had performed All Eyes on Me (2023) instead of Flower (2023). Also, I am confused on many people saying that she shouldn’t perform because of the gap between her and the Blackpink members when it comes to international popularity when other K-pop acts (group & solo) had also performed at Coachella despite lacking casual appeal outside of K-pop. I am well aware of the discourse surrounding her talent when it comes to her performing by herself, but I think many people are jumping the gun on her when she was announced as a solo performing act. All in all, after seeing the solo performances of Jennie, Rose, and Lisa, I am looking forward to seeing what Jisoo will do with her set and how she will perform her new set of songs in April of 2027. I mean, who knows, maybe she will pull it off as she releasing an album in the early part of 2027 which will probably happen before Coachella.
