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.
