Jisoo from BLACKPINK and Zayn Malik have joined forces on a new track titled Eyes Closed, and the first official music video teaser has already set the internet ablaze. Released across social platforms on October 7, the short clip showcases the K-pop superstar and the former One Direction singer in what promises to be one of the most talked-about collaborations of the year.

The teaser gives only a glimpse of the full production, but that was enough to send fans of both BLACKPINK and Zayn Malik into a frenzy. Hashtags such as #EyesClosed, #Zayn and #Jisoo began trending within minutes as fans around the world reacted to the unexpected but long-rumoured partnership. Many called it a dream crossover, pointing out that Zayn’s smooth R&B-influenced vocals and Jisoo’s signature tone could create a perfect blend for global pop audiences.

The music video teaser shows striking visuals of both artists, sparking speculation about the storyline and concept of the full video. Jisoo, who has continued to thrive in both acting and music after BLACKPINK’s world tour, brings star power from the K-pop world, while Zayn Malik, who has been steadily building momentum with his solo projects after his One Direction era, delivers the international appeal that has made him a global household name.
