SEOUL: Blackpink’s Jennie and Jisoo are both contributing to the soundtracks of upcoming animated feature films.
The Korea Herald reported yesterday that Jennie will sing Someone to Hold for the Netflix animation Steps. According to her agency, OA Entertainment, this marks a first for the singer.
“I had so much fun working on a track for an animated film for the first time,” she said.
“I loved the warm hearts and personalities of each character, and was happy to be a small part of their world.”
The film, which puts a fresh twist on the story of Cinderella, will be released on Nov 20.
Jisoo, meanwhile, co-wrote and sang Sun Showers for The Angry Birds Movie 3, which is out in December.
She told the Hollywood Reporter: “I’ve always loved how the films bring together such colourful characters, humour and heart.”
She added: “With Sun Showers, I wanted to capture the movie’s playful and bright energy through a fun, feel-good song that makes people want to smile and dance along.”
