Jennie's agency, ODD ATELIER (OA Entertainment), officially confirmed on August 19, 2026, that the BLACKPINK member will release her first solo EP by the end of August 2026. This highly anticipated musical comeback follows her successful 2025 debut solo studio album, Ruby, and a series of performances at global music festivals where she previewed new tracks.
Adding to her expanding global presence, the “2026 Topps Chrome x Jennie” trading card collection officially opened for pre-orders on August 20, 2026, at 1 PM ET (10 AM PT) via Topps.com. This marks Topps' first K-pop-centered Chrome product, highlighting Jennie's significant impact across music, fashion, and now, collectibles.
Solo EP Details and Anticipation
The upcoming EP will be Jennie's first extended play, managed entirely by her independent label, ODD ATELIER, which she established in November 2023. Fans have already had a taste of the new music, with Jennie performing unreleased tracks such as “Less than a Lover,” “FALLEN ANGEL,” and “lockitdown” at major global music festivals throughout Summer 2026. “Less than a Lover” was released as a digital single on July 24, 2026, achieving gold certification on QQ Music in China and topping Mnet's 'M Countdown' for two consecutive weeks. Other heavily teased tracks expected to be on the EP include “Sweet Tooth” and “Heaven.” The full tracklist, however, has not yet been officially revealed.
