BLACKPINK's Jisoo Signs With WME as Solo Album Campaign Gathers Pace

A worldwide deal arrives between new singles and a first full album

Jisoo has signed with WME for worldwide representation, adding a major talent agency to her team as she prepares her first full solo album. Announced on Friday, November 6, 2026, the agreement follows the October 30 release of "Addicted," which topped iTunes Top Songs charts in 28 regions and reached No. 1 on the iTunes Worldwide Songs chart.

The BLACKPINK singer and actor enters the partnership with an expanding schedule across music, television and fashion. During 2026, she completed the group's sold out Deadline World Tour, starred in the Netflix romantic comedy "Boyfriend on Demand," made her Met Gala debut and launched collaborations with Off-White and Pokémon.

Her latest music campaign has a clear sequence: "Click" arrived on September 4 as the first advance single, followed by "Addicted" as the second. Another original song, "Sun Showers," is expected to appear on the soundtrack of "The Angry Birds Movie 3." A release date for the full album and financial terms of the WME agreement have not been announced.

The signing brings together two parts of Jisoo's career that have grown alongside each other. BLACKPINK gives her experience performing in stadiums across continents, while her individual releases have built a chart record under her own name. Her acting and fashion work extend that public profile beyond listeners who first encountered her through the group.

What WME brings to an expanding career

WME will represent Jisoo worldwide. Its music clients include Adele, Billie Eilish, Bruno Mars, Coldplay, Olivia Rodrigo, Rihanna, Shakira and The Weeknd. The broader roster also includes Andrea Bocelli, Bob Dylan, Chris Stapleton, Depeche Mode and Foo Fighters.

A talent agency generally helps artists pursue and negotiate professional opportunities, including live appearances and commercial work. For Jisoo, the agreement arrives during an album campaign that already includes new recordings, planned television performances and a forthcoming film soundtrack contribution.

Jisoo's work now reaches several audiences at once: BLACKPINK concertgoers, listeners following her solo songs, viewers of her dramas and consumers encountering her through fashion campaigns. Worldwide representation gives those activities a common international agency relationship as she moves toward a longer musical release.

The immediate focus is the album campaign. "Addicted" has already brought activity across digital stores, streaming services and music video viewing, while a planned return to South Korean music programs will put the song in front of television audiences.

Two singles introduce different sides of the album

"Click," released on September 4, introduced the new phase of Jisoo's solo career with a soaring pop song about two people from different worlds finding each other. Its romantic premise centers on a connection that suddenly makes sense despite their differences.

"Addicted," released eight weeks later on October 30, moves toward a moodier dance pop sound. Its theme is the pull of attraction and the feeling of being unable to resist it. Together, the singles offer contrasting approaches to romance ahead of the full album.

Jisoo described her ambitions for the project in an interview published in May. The singer said she wanted the longer format to reveal more of her musical range:

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.

A full album gives an artist more room than a short release to connect different sounds and moods. Jisoo's earlier projects, "Me" and "Amortage," established her solo identity through smaller collections. The coming record is being presented as her first full album, with the advance singles introducing its direction gradually.

Addicted reaches listeners across several platforms

"Addicted" reached No. 1 on iTunes Top Songs charts in 28 regions and led the iTunes Worldwide Songs chart. The track also entered Spotify's Global Daily Top Songs chart, while its video topped YouTube's Global Daily Popular Music Videos chart.

Those platforms capture different kinds of audience activity. iTunes charts reflect purchases through its digital store, Spotify tracks listening on its streaming service, and YouTube's music video ranking measures viewing activity. Jisoo's release attracted attention across all three formats during its opening period.

The singer is also scheduled to perform "Addicted" on domestic music shows, marking her first return to those stages in about one year and nine months. Her agency Blisoo announced the single on October 27, setting its release for October 30 at 8 a.m., with appearances on a range of music shows planned as part of the campaign. South Korean music programs give artists a regular television setting for presenting choreography, costumes and live performances during a release campaign.

Her earlier solo hit "Flower" collected nine music show wins and a Triple Crown, a term used for winning three times on a particular program. The planned appearances bring Jisoo back to a promotional setting that played a visible role in her solo debut.

How her solo career reached this point

Jisoo began releasing solo music in 2023 with "Me," a short project led by "Flower." "Me" became the first album by a female solo artist in South Korea to surpass one million sales, with first week sales reaching about 1.17 million.

"Flower" reached No. 2 on the Billboard Global 200 and No. 1 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart. Its video also drew the largest audience in its first 24 hours among K-pop music videos released that year. In Britain, the song peaked at No. 38 on the Official Singles Chart and remained on the chart for two weeks.

Her subsequent releases have gradually widened that record:

• 2023: "Me" launched her solo recording career, with "Flower" becoming an international chart hit.
• 2025: The mini album "Amortage" featured "Earthquake" and "Your Love."
• 2025: "Eyes Closed," her collaboration with Zayn, reached the Billboard Hot 100 and the British singles chart.
• September 4, 2026: "Click" began the advance release campaign for her first full solo album.
• October 30, 2026: "Addicted" followed as the second advance single.
• November 6, 2026: Her worldwide representation agreement with WME was announced.

"Eyes Closed" became her second solo release to enter the top 10 of Billboard's Global Excl. U.S. chart. It also reached No. 20 on the Global 200 and No. 72 on the Hot 100, which ranks songs in the United States.

The collaboration peaked at No. 37 on Britain's Official Singles Chart, one position higher than "Flower," and likewise spent two weeks there. Its Hot 100 appearance also completed a group milestone: BLACKPINK became the first girl group whose members had all entered that chart as solo artists.

BLACKPINK remains part of the story

Jisoo's individual expansion follows another substantial year for BLACKPINK. The group completed its Deadline World Tour earlier in 2026, playing major stadiums across North America, Europe and Asia.

BLACKPINK then released the "Deadline" EP in February. It opened at No. 8 on the Billboard 200, the principal album chart in the United States, and was the group's first major music release since "Born Pink," which reached No. 1 in 2022.

The group and solo records show how Jisoo's career now operates on two schedules. BLACKPINK continues to release music and perform as a group, while she develops recordings and appearances under her own name. Her WME signing follows a year that has included both kinds of work.

Television and film add another audience

Jisoo starred in Netflix's "Boyfriend on Demand," which premiered in March. The romantic comedy, also referred to as "Monthly Boyfriend," features her as Seo Mi-rae and brought her the Asian Star Award in the International Invitation category at the 2026 Seoul Drama Awards.

The award followed recognition in the same category in 2025 for "Newtopia," in which she played Kang Young-joo. Her first leading television role was Eun Young-ro in the JTBC drama "Snowdrop." Those roles give her an acting record that stretches across several productions rather than a single appearance tied to her music career.

Her film work includes a special appearance as a fairy in "Dr. Cheon and Lost Talisman" and the role of Lee Ji-hye in the 2025 adaptation "Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy." The expected "Sun Showers" contribution to "The Angry Birds Movie 3" adds another connection with cinema, this time through a soundtrack.

Fashion partnerships extend her international presence

Jisoo is a global ambassador for Dior, Cartier, Tommy Hilfiger and Salomon, and has been named the face of ALO Yoga. In 2024, she became the first musician to serve as the face of London fashion house Self-Portrait.

Her fashion profile also includes becoming Vogue France's first Asian solo cover model. In May 2026, she made her first appearance at the Met Gala, adding the New York event to a schedule that already included visibility at Paris Fashion Week.

The Off-White and Pokémon collaborations extend that activity into different areas of consumer culture. Alongside luxury fashion, jewelry and sportswear partnerships, they show the range of commercial relationships already attached to her name as WME takes on worldwide representation.

The next phase centers on turning the attention around "Click" and "Addicted" into a complete album campaign. Planned music show appearances and the expected soundtrack release provide further stops along that route, following a year in which Jisoo has moved repeatedly between group performances, solo music, acting and fashion.
