Zayn Malik is keeping fans on their toes with a series of unexpected announcements. Just days after revealing a new documentary project with his former One Direction bandmate Louis Tomlinson, the British singer stunned fans again but this time with news of an upcoming duet with BLACKPINK&rsquo;s JISOO. While neither project has an official release date yet, both have already sent the internet into a frenzy.
From a Concert Story to a Dream Collaboration
Months ago, Malik shared a story from a BLACKPINK concert he attended with his daughter, sparking speculation about a possible collaboration. Fans&rsquo; theories gained traction when JISOO posted a cryptic teaser on social media: a shadowed male figure stood behind her with the word &ldquo;EYESCLOSED&rdquo; across the frame, captioned, &ldquo;A duet is near.&rdquo;
A follow-up post confirmed the rumors, showing the two artists side by side, with the caption; &ldquo;Two voices, one orbit. Coming soon.&rdquo; The teaser quickly went viral, leaving fans eagerly counting down to what many are calling a &ldquo;dream collaboration.&rdquo;
JISOO&rsquo;s Musical Comeback
The duet marks JISOO&rsquo;s first musical release since her solo EP Amortage dropped in February, which featured standout tracks like &ldquo;Earthquake&rdquo; and &ldquo;Your Love.&rdquo; Her return to the studio &mdash; this time alongside Malik signals a bold new era for the BLACKPINK star.
Reuniting on the Road
Meanwhile, Malik is also reuniting with Tomlinson for a deeply personal road trip documentary across America. Described as a &ldquo;journey of reconnection, exploration, and laughter,&rdquo; the series promises fans a rare look at the lives of two of One Direction&rsquo;s most private members. Together, they&rsquo;ll open up about friendship, fatherhood, fame, and healing.

A Tribute After Tragedy
Directed by Nicola Marsh (Song Exploder, Stay on Board: The Leo Baker Story), the project arrives nearly a year after the tragic passing of their former bandmate Liam Payne in Argentina &mdash; making the reunion all the more poignant. Both artists have described the experience as a tribute to Payne&rsquo;s legacy and the bond they all shared.
Big Plans Ahead for 2026
Looking ahead, both Malik and Tomlinson show no signs of slowing down. Malik is preparing for a Las Vegas residency in January, while Tomlinson is set to release his third studio album How Did I Get Here? followed by a global tour next summer.
Between a long-awaited collaboration, a heartfelt documentary, and major solo ventures, 2026 is shaping up to be a milestone year for the two former bandmates.
