Hello everyone, welcome back to the Abiz channel, where we bring you the latest and most exciting updates about the BLACKPINK members.
On January 14, Jisoo surprised fans by making a special appearance at the Hello Kitty x Jisoo Pop-up Store in Seoul. Her surprise visit not only drew excitement but also perfectly embodied the soft, charming spirit of the collaboration. Jisoo looked absolutely stunning in Ononmm’s Lushe Dress, presenting an elegant yet sweet visual that suited the pop-up’s playful atmosphere. The cream-white lace dress featured a fitted silhouette, accented by a bold black ribbon at the chest that created a refined contrast. A delicate lace cape draped over her shoulders added a soft, feminine touch, while the short hemline kept the look youthful and fresh. Styled with a sleek high bun and minimal accessories, Jisoo radiated grace and poise—cute yet sophisticated, perfectly in tune with the Hello Kitty theme.
Beyond her lovely appearance, it was Jisoo’s warm heart that truly captured attention. As she passed by the entrance, she paused to interact with fans waiting outside. Her shy, demure poses sent fans into a frenzy, earning countless smiles and cheers. Jisoo even took out her phone to photograph fans herself, creating an unforgettable and intimate moment. In a gesture that melted hearts, she opened the door to greet fans “Jerry-style,” sweetly reminding them that the weather was cold and encouraging everyone to move around to stay warm. Her thoughtful words and gentle tone showcased just how deeply she cares for those who support her.
Before leaving the event, Jisoo stepped onto the car to perform a short “Earthquake” choreography as a final greeting. Even as the car pulled away, she rolled down the window to continue receiving letters from fans, extending the moment just a little longer. From her fairy-like visuals to her sincere and affectionate interactions, Jisoo once again proved that her charm goes far beyond appearance. Her sweet personality truly feels out of this world—and moments like these are exactly why fans continue to adore her so deeply.
Meanwhile, although the awards ceremony wrapped up last weekend and Lisa, along with the White Lotus cast, once again left empty-handed, the BLACKPINK maknae’s Golden Globes debut continues to spark widespread discussion. At the 83rd Golden Globe Awards, Lisa emerged as one of the most talked-about celebrities of the night, racking up an impressive 656,000 mentions across social media. Even without taking home a trophy in her first Golden Globes appearance, her presence alone left a strong impression, fueled by a series of standout moments that kept both media and fans buzzing.
During the ceremony, Lisa took on the role of presenter alongside Priyanka Chopra, showcasing her poise on one of Hollywood’s biggest stages. She was also seen enjoying relaxed and cheerful moments with The White Lotus cast, reflecting her easy chemistry and growing presence in the international film scene. Adding to the excitement, Lisa had several notable reunions, including a warm meeting with Ariana Grande. She also met the two Wicked young stars, Scarlett Spears (young Glinda) and Cesily Collette (young Elphaba), further highlighting her expanding circle in Hollywood. Lisa’s interactions didn’t stop there. She reunited with and took snapshots with Charli XCX, exchanged fist bumps with Chase Infiniti at the event, and shared affectionate moments with her close friend, TWICE’s Jihyo—drawing significant attention from fans and reporters alike. These interactions reinforced her image as a well-connected and genuinely warm figure in the industry.
After the main ceremony, Lisa joined a star-studded Golden Globes After Party hosted by Vas J. Morgan and Lucy Guo at a private residence near the Chateau Marmont. The exclusive gathering was attended by many high-profile celebrities, including Charli XCX, Emma Stone, Hudson Williams, Ana de Armas, and Paris Hilton. Lisa turned heads in a stunning Enfants Riches Déprimés SS26 dress, once again proving her fashion influence on the global stage. At the after-party, she reunited with Paris Hilton and was spotted taking snapshots with British singer Aiyana-Lee. She also met Keegan-Michael Key and Damson Idris, and later reunited with host Vas J. Morgan, with the two posing for photos alongside Creative Director Leon Starino Anderson.
However, not everything went smoothly that night. Amid the many highlights, Lisa unexpectedly faced an awkward moment on the red carpet—but handled it with grace. In a TikTok clip shared by Cole Walliser on January 13, the two were seen chatting playfully as Lisa prepared to do her Glambot shoot. Before filming, Walliser casually asked, “You have not done the Grammys?” Lisa, slightly caught off guard, replied, “Not yet.” He followed up with, “But you’re going to be there this year?” to which Lisa answered honestly, “No, I can’t,” later adding that she has a movie shoot scheduled.
Although Lisa was simply answering a spontaneous question—and handled the situation as smoothly as possible—some haters seized the moment to mock her, claiming she was “not nominated” and therefore had “no reason” to attend the Grammys. However, the reality is far more straightforward. Fame naturally puts Lisa in the spotlight, and her charm and kindness make it no surprise that industry figures like Cole Walliser want to see her at major events. Moreover, friends of nominees can absolutely be invited, and Lisa could very well attend to support her sister Rosé, which is entirely normal in the entertainment world. There is no reason to frame the moment negatively.
Meanwhile, Rosé has remained relatively quiet in recent days, sparking curiosity among fans. The BLACKPINK main vocalist is currently rumored to be attending the opening of Tiffany & Co.’s new flagship store in Beijing, China. According to circulating reports, other rumored attendees include Carina Lau, Tang Yan, Chung Chusi, and Zhang Ruoyun, raising anticipation for a high-profile luxury event. As of now, no official confirmation has been released regarding Rosé’s appearance.
In contrast, Jennie has been steadily ramping up her solo activities after returning from Taiwan. The idol is currently preparing for her first-ever solo photo exhibition in Seoul, marking another artistic milestone in her career. A newly revealed mood film teaser has already drawn attention, offering a captivating glimpse into the exhibition’s atmosphere and creative direction, and further heightening expectations.
Jennie’s exhibition will also expand overseas as a special pop-up event in Tokyo, held at Daikanyama TSUTAYA BOOKS (Building 2, 1F) to celebrate her birthday. The Tokyo exhibition will run from January 16 to January 29, 2026, open daily from 9:00 AM to 10:00 PM, giving fans ample opportunity to experience her visual storytelling up close.
Adding to her packed schedule, Jennie has been confirmed to join MBC’s new variety show, “Manitto Club.” The program is a real-variety format in which cast members secretly deliver surprise gifts without revealing their identities. The first announced lineup includes Jennie, Dex, Choo Sung-hoon, Noh Hong-chul, and Lee Soo-ji, with the show set to premiere on February 1 at 6:10 PM KST.
Meanwhile, speculation continues to grow around Jennie’s music plans. She is rumored to be releasing new solo music later this January after an alleged schedule surfaced online. However, no official confirmation has been made, leaving fans eagerly waiting for further announcements.
