Blackpink’s Jisoo Signs With WME as Her Solo Era Gathers Pace

Jisoo is having quite a year, and it just gained a new engine. The Blackpink star has signed with WME for worldwide representation, the agency announced on Friday, placing her alongside a roster that includes Bruno Mars, Billie Eilish and Rihanna.

The deal covers her global activities across music, film and television, while she keeps her independence at home. Jisoo continues to run her solo career through BLISSOO, the label she founded in 2024, and remains signed to Warner Records, with Blackpink’s group activities continuing with YG Entertainment.

The timing is no accident. The signing comes days after the release of Addicted, the second preview single from her forthcoming debut solo album. It follows Click, which arrived in September, and a third song, Sun Showers, is set to appear on the soundtrack of The Angry Birds Movie 3.

It caps a remarkable run. Blackpink’s Deadline World Tour sold out stadiums across North America, Europe and Asia, and the group’s Deadline EP opened at number eight on the Billboard 200. Her collaboration with Zayn, Eyes Closed, reached the Hot 100 and helped make Blackpink the first girl group whose every member has entered the chart as a solo artist.

Beyond music, she starred in the Netflix romantic comedy Boyfriend on Demand, made her Met Gala debut in May, and serves as a global ambassador for Dior, Cartier, Tommy Hilfiger and Salomon, with recent collaborations spanning Off-White and Pokémon.

Agency signings rarely make headlines on their own, but this one signals intent. With a debut solo album on the way and one of pop’s most powerful agencies behind her, Jisoo’s next chapter looks carefully built for the world stage.
