Fandoms will collide following the announcement of a surprise collaboration between Jisoo of the Korean girl group Blackpink and former One Direction member Zayn Malik.
Jisoo had been teasing a duet with an unnamed male artist for the new digital track “Eyes Closed,” eventually revealing the collaborator was Zayn.
“A duet is near,” one post teased, while another said, “Two voices, one orbit. Coming soon.”
The artist even shared a snippet of the song after confirming Zayn as her duet partner.
“We should fall in love with our eyes closed, better if we keep it where we don’t know,” goes part of the chorus sung by both artists. “The nights we’ve been in, the names and the faces of who we were with.”
“Eyes Closed” is Jisoo’s latest piece of music after her “Amortage” extended play earlier this year that featuring the tracks “Earthquake,” “Your Love,” “Tears,” and “Hugs and Kisses.”
The Korean singer is currently on a world tour with Blackpink, which will make a stop in the Philippines this November, just several months after Jisoo staged her first solo fan meet in the country.
Zayn had previously attended one of Blackpink’s concerts in New York last July with Khai, his daughter with ex-partner Gigi Hadid.
The British artist recently announced that he will be having a residency in Las Vegas beginning January next year and will be reuniting with fellow One Direction alum Louis Tomlinson for a Netflix docu-travel series.
