Just because BLACKPINK is currently on their DEADLINE World Tour, it does not mean they are too busy to promote their solo projects. Member Jisoo (김지수) recently released a special music video for “Your Love”, the second track from her debut solo album “AMORTAGE”. The song is one of two from the record sung entirely in English.
It quickly became a fan favourite shortly after the album’s release, with many fans requesting that it be accompanied by a music video. Now that it is up on YouTube, let’s take a closer look at this latest project. Here are some fun facts about the special music video:
1. It was filmed in Singapore
Although the music video may appear to use CGI at first glance, the title confirmed that it was a collaboration between Jisoo and Rainforest Wild Asia in Singapore. That’s right, the paradise seen in the video was filmed at a real location. The video features the idol singing amid a lush tropical rainforest, as well as within a man-made cave system.
It has not been revealed exactly when the video was filmed, but we can assume that it was during the vocalist’s visit to Singapore back in March during her appearance at Far East Malls for a pop-up event celebrating the album release. Regardless, fans are nonetheless delighted with the results.
2. Rainforest Wild ASIA is launching a special “Your Love” event
In celebration of the music video’s release and the collaboration, Rainforest Wild Asia is launching a special event inviting fans to follow in Jisoo’s footsteps and experience the beautiful locations featured in the video. “Embark on an in-park trail and uncover the many wonders of the rainforest. Encounter the elusive François’ langurs, explore the dramatic Cavern chambers, and capture your own iconic moment at the Oculus. Complete your adventure with a dining experience like no other at Cavern Restaurant – Singapore’s first and only restaurant set within a cave.”
Participants in the event will also stand a chance to win exciting prizes. Full details of the campaign can be found on the Mandai Wildlife Reserve’s website.
3. Behind-the-scenes video will be released soon
In addition to the campaign, according to Mandai Wildlife Reserve, fans will soon be treated to a behind-the-scenes look at how the video was filmed. Perhaps we’ll learn more about the creative process, her trip to Singapore, as well as how the collaboration came to be.
4. Jisoo worked with a Singaporean agency for filming
Not only was this a collaboration between Jisoo’s agency, Blisoo, Singapore Tourism and Rainforest Wild Asia, but Singaporean dance talent agency Jam Republic was also involved in the project. The company was reportedly responsible for overseeing the overall operations and logistics during filming. One of their choreographers, Kiel Tutin, has worked with BLACKPINK on many of their choreographies, including “KILL THIS LOVE”, “HOW YOU LIKE THAT” and “SHUT DOWN”.
