BLACKPINK’s Jennie, Lisa, and Jisoo Are All Releasing Solo Music in the Same 8 Days: Full September 2026 Guide

Three members of the same group, three separate release calendars, eight days. That is not a coincidence of scheduling — it is what a 10th-anniversary year looks like when a group’s members are busy enough individually that a full group comeback has to wait its turn.

Jennie opened the run first. Lisa and Jisoo are landing back-to-back a few days later, and if you only follow one of the three accounts, it is easy to miss how tightly packed this stretch actually is. We broke down a similarly crowded voting period in Every K-Pop Nomination at the 2026 MTV VMAs, where LISA’s solo track already showed up competing in its own category months before this cluster of releases.

Why Are Jennie, Lisa, and Jisoo All Releasing Solo Music at Once?

2026 marks BLACKPINK’s 10th anniversary since their August 2016 debut, and according to the Korea Herald’s August 2026 report, the group has shifted “back to solo mode” for this stretch of the year while a full-group comeback is held for later.

When I cross-referenced the release dates on Billboard’s own report against the Korea Herald’s timeline, both point to the same sequence: Jennie’s EP first, then Lisa’s lead single, then Jisoo’s pre-release track, spaced days apart rather than dropped together. That spacing looks deliberate — it gives each member’s rollout its own news cycle instead of splitting attention three ways on the same day.

This part trips a lot of casual fans up: none of these three releases is a group comeback. Each is a fully separate solo project with its own producers, concept, and promotion schedule, and BLACKPINK-brand activity (tours, group releases) is being tracked on a completely different calendar.

This isn’t the first time BLACKPINK has run a members-only stretch like this. Back in 2023, all four members released solo projects within about seven months of each other — Jisoo’s “ME,” Jennie’s “You & Me,” Lisa’s “LALISA”-era follow-up material, and Rosé’s early singles ahead of “rosie.” The 2026 run compresses that same idea into a much tighter window, with three members instead of four and days between releases instead of months.

What Is on Jennie’s Fallen Angel EP?

Jennie’s “Fallen Angel” EP holds three tracks — “FALLEN ANGEL,” “HEAVEN,” and “Less Than a Lover” — and it dropped on August 28, 2026, with a music video for the title track released the same day.

Three tracks is a short run even by EP standards, and that brevity is part of a pattern — each of the three members is putting out a compact release first, ahead of a bigger, separately-timed project later this year.

When Does Lisa’s SaWaDiKa Come Out, and What Is PRESS PLAY?

Lisa’s lead single “SaWaDiKa” releases September 3, 2026, and serves as the first single from her upcoming EP “PRESS PLAY,” which is scheduled for October 23, 2026.

The title itself is a nod to “sawatdee ka,” a Thai greeting, and outlets covering the announcement describe the project as centered on Lisa’s Thai roots rather than following the more Western pop direction of her earlier solo work. That is a specific enough angle that it is worth tracking separately from her prior singles, not lumping it in as “more Lisa solo music.”

Between “SaWaDiKa” on September 3 and “PRESS PLAY” on October 23, there is a seven-week gap — long enough that “SaWaDiKa” is functioning as a genuine lead single with its own promotional cycle, not just a same-day EP teaser track.

Coverage of the announcement frames “PRESS PLAY” as leaning further into Lisa’s Thai identity across the whole EP rather than just the lead single’s title, which would mark a shift from the more Western pop-leaning sound of her earlier solo singles. Until the tracklist is officially confirmed closer to October 23, treat the full concept as reported-but-not-final.

What Do We Know About Jisoo’s CLICK?

Jisoo’s “CLICK” releases September 4, 2026 at 1 p.m. KST as a pre-release single ahead of her first full-length solo album, which does not yet have a confirmed release date beyond a general fall 2026 target.

According to StarNews Korea’s August 24 report, “CLICK” is completed solely with Jisoo’s own vocals and has no featured artists, which the outlet frames as a deliberate choice ahead of her first LP. The teaser visuals reportedly lean into a glitching, animatronic carnival-figure aesthetic, a sharper turn than the more restrained mood of her 2024 EP “AMORTAGE.”

I found that this is Jisoo’s first release since “AMORTAGE,” which makes “CLICK” her first new solo material in close to two years and the first real signal of what her debut full album might sound like.

Where Can International Fans Stream Each Release?

All three releases go up on the major global platforms — Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube Music — at the same time as the Korean streaming rollout, which has been standard for BLACKPINK solo drops since 2023.

You’ll probably notice YouTube tends to post the music videos a few minutes ahead of the audio-only upload landing on streaming apps, so if you’re refreshing at the exact release minute, YouTube is usually the fastest place to catch it first.

What to Bookmark Before September 4

• ✅ Follow each member’s official artist channel directly (YG Entertainment for Jennie and Jisoo, LLOUD for Lisa) rather than fan-run accounts for exact drop times.
• ✅ Double-check release times in your own timezone — KST during September is 13 hours ahead of US Eastern time.
• ✅ Add “PRESS PLAY” (October 23) to your calendar now if SaWaDiKa is the track that hooks you.
• ✅ Watch for an official date announcement on Jisoo’s debut album once CLICK’s promotion cycle winds down.

Are Any of These Being Sold as a Group BLACKPINK Comeback?

No. Despite the tight release window, none of these three projects has been announced as a BLACKPINK group comeback, and YG Entertainment has not tied any of the three to a group tour date or group release timeline.

When I checked how each release was announced, all three came through individual member channels and individual label credits rather than a joint BLACKPINK announcement, which is the clearest signal that these are separate solo calendars running in parallel rather than one coordinated group rollout.

Fan speculation about a full-group anniversary comeback has picked up simply because three members are active at once, but speculation is not confirmation — treat any “BLACKPINK comeback confirmed” claim that isn’t sourced to YG Entertainment directly as unverified.
