South Korean artist JISOO, a member of the girl group BLACKPINK, has signed with William Morris Endeavor (WME) for worldwide representation. The agreement was announced on Friday (Nov. 6), days after the release of “Addicted,” the second pre-release single from her forthcoming debut solo album.
JISOO joins a WME roster that includes Adele, Andrea Bocelli, Billie Eilish, Bob Dylan, Bruno Mars, Chris Stapleton, Coldplay, Depeche Mode, Foo Fighters and many others.
New solo releases#
In September, JISOO released the single “Click.” A third solo song, “Sun Showers,” is expected in the weeks ahead. The original track will appear on the soundtrack to The Angry Birds Movie 3.
Solo career to date#
JISOO began her solo career in 2023 with the debut EP ME, which became the first album by a female solo artist in South Korea to surpass one million sales. Its single “꽃(FLOWER)” reached No. 2 on the Billboard Global 200 in April 2023 and No. 1 on the Global Excl. US chart.
A debut mini album, AMORTAGE, followed in 2025 and included the songs “earthquake” and “Your Love.”
Chart milestones and BLACKPINK releases#
JISOO teased her solo chapter last year with “EYES CLOSED,” a collaboration with former One Direction member Zayn. The single reached No. 72 on the Billboard Hot 100, and BLACKPINK became the first girl group to have every member enter the Hot 100 as a solo artist.
BLACKPINK completed the sold-out Deadline World Tour earlier this year, a trek that played major stadiums across North America, Europe and Asia. The group released the EP DEADLINE in February, and it stands out in the following ways:
- DEADLINE opened at No. 8 on the Billboard 200.
- It was the group’s first major music release since reaching No. 1 on the all-genres albums chart with Born Pink (2022).
Work beyond music#
JISOO is a global ambassador for Dior, Cartier, Tommy Hilfiger and Salomon, and was appointed the face of ALO Yoga. Her film and fashion work also includes the following:
- In 2024, she became the first musician to be the face of London fashion house Self-Portrait.
- She starred in the Netflix romantic comedy Boyfriend on Demand, which premiered in March.
- She recently launched brand collaborations with Off-White and Pokémon.
On her upcoming album#
In an interview published in May, JISOO described her forthcoming album:
“Since I’m preparing a full-length album this time, I’m working on showing a wider range of music. I think I’d be really happy if people listen to this album and say they discovered a new side of me.”
