Jisoo Eyes Closed Duet Teaser Fuels Zayn Malik Collaboration Rumors

BLACKPINK’s Jisoo has ignited a global frenzy with her latest Instagram post teasing a new ballad titled ‘Eyes Closed’. The cryptic caption — “A duet is near” — accompanied by a shadowy male silhouette, has fans and media outlets buzzing about a possible collaboration with British singer Zayn Malik.

According to reports from The Korea Herald, industry insiders suggest that Zayn may be the mystery voice behind the duet. While neither artist’s team has confirmed the partnership, the speculation has already triggered over 725,000 engagements on X (formerly Twitter) within 48 hours.

If confirmed, the Jisoo Eyes Closed duet would mark her first major international collaboration since her solo EP Amortage dropped in February. The ballad is expected to showcase her emotional vocal range, paired with Zayn’s signature falsetto — a combination fans are calling “iconic” and “history-making.”

Zayn’s recent appearance at BLACKPINK’s New York concert in July — alongside his daughter Khai — has only added fuel to the rumors. He later posted “Me & Khai LOVED IT” on Instagram, thanking the group for the experience.
