Jisoo, the acclaimed singer, songwriter, and actor best known as a breakout member of the global K-pop phenomenon Blackpink, has officially signed with major talent agency WME for worldwide representation across all areas. The significant career move arrives as the multi-hyphenate star continues to expand her footprint as a solo artist on the international stage, balancing an increasingly robust music career with major acting roles, high-profile fashion partnerships, and massive global tours.
The new representation agreement highlights Jisoo’s ongoing transition into a dominant global solo force. Just last week, she released “Addicted,” a moody and atmospheric dance-pop track that explores the overwhelming feeling of being powerless against a strong attraction. The single immediately struck a chord with listeners worldwide, climbing to the top of the iTunes Top Songs charts across 28 distinct regions and ultimately capturing the No. 1 spot on the iTunes Worldwide Songs chart.
“Addicted” serves as the direct follow-up to “Click,” which was introduced to fans as her first official pre-album single. That breezy yet captivating pop track centers on a compelling narrative involving two people from vastly different backgrounds who manage to find their way to one another against the odds. Together, these releases signal a distinct artistic evolution for Jisoo as she prepares the groundwork for her upcoming major musical projects.
Beyond her endeavors in the recording studio, Jisoo has maintained an exceptionally busy and high-profile schedule throughout 2026. Earlier this year, she wrapped up the massive and critically acclaimed Deadline World Tour alongside her Blackpink bandmates. The blockbuster concert run played to sold-out stadium crowds across North America, Europe, and Asia, cementing the group’s status as one of the premier live touring acts in contemporary music.
In addition to her rigorous touring commitments, Jisoo successfully crossed over into television and streaming landscapes as the headlining star of “Boyfriend on Demand,” a Netflix romantic comedy series that premiered in March to widespread viewer interest. Her high-profile year also featured her official debut appearance at the prestigious Met Gala in May, alongside prominent brand collaborations with luxury fashion house Off-White and global entertainment giant Pokémon, further demonstrating her formidable influence across fashion, television, and pop culture.
Jisoo’s solo journey officially began in March 2023 with the release of her debut single album, “Me.” The project set a historic South Korean benchmark, making her the first female soloist in the country’s history to surpass 1 million in sales. Its breakout lead single, “Flower,” became an instant global phenomenon, climbing all the way to No. 2 on the Billboard Global 200 chart and capturing the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart. Furthermore, the music video for “Flower” drew the largest 24-hour debut audience of any K-pop music video released that year, underscoring her immense pulling power as an individual artist.
She continued her musical momentum with the release of her 2025 mini-album, “Amortage,” which featured standout tracks such as “Earthquake” and “Your Love.” That same year, she surprised fans with “Eyes Closed,” a high-profile collaborative single featuring singer Zayn. The track became her second solo release to crack the prestigious Top 10 of Billboard’s Global Excl. U.S. chart, while also charting strongly at No. 20 on the Global 200 and peaking at No. 72 on the mainstream Billboard Hot 100.
By signing with WME, Jisoo joins a formidable roster of world-class talent. The agency’s renowned music division currently represents some of the biggest names in the global entertainment industry, including Adele, Billie Eilish, Bruno Mars, Coldplay, Olivia Rodrigo, Rihanna, Shakira, and The Weeknd. With WME now handling her global representation, Jisoo is well-positioned to further scale her international ambitions across music, film, television, and brand partnerships as her solo career enters its next major chapter.
