MYBLIN9 AI artist JIHO released the music video for “BLACKOUT”, a digital single featuring Sophia Han and YENA of SweeTeez, on the official MYBLIN9 YouTube channel on October 12, 2026. The song arrives on streaming services on October 25.
“BLACKOUT” grew out of a single line — “when the three of us walk in, the world switches off.” It is a dark bass-pop × rap track built so that the whole beat cuts out on “Black” and the 808 drops on “out”, tying the moment you hear it to the moment you see it. The “BLACKOUT pose” — sweeping a palm over the eyes, then flicking it away as the eyes snap open — is the core move of the video and the short-form dance challenge. The lyrics are entirely in English: JIHO’s low, dry rap, Sophia Han’s solid lead vocal and YENA’s quiet, cool voice collide as three different textures in one song.
The video moves through a ballroom hung with thousands of chandeliers, a wall of blazing stage lamps and a velvet tunnel where every door bursts into gold; on every chorus the screen cuts to black and the three reappear in a new world. The single also includes JIHO’s solo track “AFTERIMAGE”, a dark R&B slow jam about the afterimage left once the lights come back on, carrying the title track’s story forward.
Lyrics, composition and arrangement are by JIHO, mixing by $hark, mastering at MasteringOne.com, costume design by Moon Sunwoo, and the video was directed by Derek Kim.
