In a monumental cross-genre collaboration that has sent shockwaves through the global music industry, BLACKPINK’s Jennie and psychedelic pop visionary Tame Impala (Kevin Parker) have officially announced their upcoming joint project.
On February 3, 2026, both artists confirmed via social media that they are teaming up for a highly anticipated remix of Tame Impala’s hit track “Dracula.”
This partnership represents a significant bridge between the high-octane world of K-pop and the atmospheric, kaleidoscopic sounds of Australian indie-psychedelia.
The Official Announcement and Sneak Peek
The announcement came following weeks of intense speculation within fan communities. Jennie and Tame Impala finally broke the silence by sharing a tantalizing sneak peek of the track on their respective platforms.
The preview offers a glimpse into a revamped sonic landscape, blending the original’s brooding, bass-heavy foundation with Jennie’s signature vocal flair and “cool-girl” charisma.
According to the official release schedule, the “Dracula (Remix)” is set to drop this Friday, February 6, 2026.

The Creative Synergy: K-Pop Meets Psychedelia
Jennie has long been praised for her versatility as both a rapper and a vocalist, as well as her keen eye for global fashion and art trends.
By partnering with Kevin Parker—the mastermind behind Tame Impala known for his meticulous production and dreamlike arrangements—this collaboration marks a bold step in Jennie’s solo discography.
Industry analysts suggest that the “Dracula” remix will likely feature the ethereal, reverb-drenched production typical of Tame Impala, punctuated by Jennie’s rhythmic delivery.
This move aligns with Jennie’s recent trajectory of exploring more experimental and Western-influenced sounds, further solidifying her status as a global pop icon who transcends traditional genre boundaries.
Jennie’s Expanding Global Footprint in 2026
The collaboration with Tame Impala is just one highlight in what is shaping up to be a massive year for the BLACKPINK star.
In addition to this musical release, Jennie has recently been in the headlines for several high-profile activities:
- Festival Performances: It was recently confirmed that Jennie will be performing alongside LE SSERAFIM at the Summer Sonic 2026 festival in Japan, one of Asia’s most prestigious music events.
- Variety and TV Appearances: Jennie is also starring in the new variety program The Secret Friends Club, alongside personalities like Dex and Choo Sung Hoon, where she showcases a more personal and adventurous side to her personality.
- Solo Branding: Since establishing her own label, OA (Odd Atelier), Jennie has leaned heavily into artistic collaborations that reflect her personal tastes, with “Dracula” being a prime example of her creative autonomy.
Anticipation and Fan Reaction
The “Dracula (Remix)” is expected to dominate global music charts upon its release. The “BLINK” (BLACKPINK’s fandom) and Tame Impala’s dedicated followers have already expressed overwhelming excitement on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram.
The combination of Tame Impala’s “indie-darling” status and Jennie’s massive commercial power creates a unique “perfect storm” for a viral hit that appeals to both mainstream radio and alternative music listeners alike.
As the countdown to Friday begins, the music world waits to see how this unlikely duo will reimagine a modern classic, potentially setting a new standard for international superstar collaborations in 2026.
The upcoming SBS drama “Phantom Lawyer” (신이랑 법률사무소), starring Yoo Yeon-seok and Esom, has officially confirmed its premiere date for March 13, 2026.
This highly anticipated series blends the high-stakes world of the courtroom with a supernatural twist, promising a unique “ghost-defending” legal fantasy that has already captured the attention of K-drama fans worldwide.
The Premise: Law, Justice, and the Supernatural
“Phantom Lawyer” follows the story of Shin Yi-rang (played by Yoo Yeon-seok), a lawyer who unintentionally moves his practice into an office that formerly belonged to a shaman.
This decision leads to an unexpected life change: he suddenly gains the ability to see ghosts.
Despite his professional appearance, Yi-rang is described as timid and clumsy, yet he finds himself forced to take on “ghost clients”—spirits with unfair grievances and unfinished business who seek justice through the law.
Opposite him is Han Na-hyeon (played by Esom), a cold and ruthless elite attorney with a legendary 100% success rate at a major law firm.
Her world is turned upside down when she suffers her first-ever loss in a trial against the quirky Yi-rang.
Although she is initially skeptical of his claims about seeing the dead, a series of bizarre and unexplainable events leads her to partner with him.

Together, they use their distinct skills—his supernatural insight and her steely legal precision—to solve cases for clients that the rest of the world cannot see.
Cast and Creative Team
The pairing of Yoo Yeon-seok and Esom is considered a “dream cast” by many. Yoo Yeon-seok, beloved for his versatile roles in Hospital Playlist and Dr. Romantic, returns to the medical/legal genre with a comedic and paranormal edge.
Esom, known for her sharp and charismatic performances in Kill Boksoon and Taxi Driver, brings a powerful presence as the rational counterpoint to the supernatural chaos.
The drama is helmed by Director Shin Jung-hoon and penned by the writing duo Kim Ga-young and Kang Cheol-gyu.
The production team has hinted that the show will offer a balanced mix of emotional “human” stories from the ghost clients, suspenseful legal battles, and lighthearted humor between the two leads.
Teaser Poster: “Defending the Invisible Truth”
SBS recently released a teaser poster that sets a mysterious and atmospheric tone. The visual features Room 501 of the Okcheon Building, the eerie setting of Yi-rang’s law office.
The room is decorated with a mix of modern legal files and traditional shamanistic elements like talismans and incense, perfectly encapsulating the show’s dual nature.
The tagline on the poster, “I defend the invisible truth,” serves as the central theme for the series, highlighting the mission to bring peace to those whose voices were silenced by death.
Premiere and Broadcast Schedule
“Phantom Lawyer” is scheduled to take over the Friday-Saturday time slot (9:50 PM KST) on SBS, following the conclusion of “No Tail To Tell.”
With its premiere set for mid-March, it is poised to be one of the standout dramas of the first half of 2026.
Fans are eagerly waiting to see how this unlikely duo navigates the complexities of the law while dealing with the literal “ghosts” of the past.
