Jisoo of Blackpink has signed on with US talent agency WME for worldwide representation, adding an international agency partner to her existing solo management and record-label structure.
The deal does not replace Jisoo’s current arrangements. She will continue to oversee her solo career through Blissoo, the company she established in 2024, while Warner Records will handle her global music releases. Her activities with Blackpink will remain under YG Entertainment.
WME will instead act as Jisoo’s talent representative in global markets, helping connect her with and negotiate opportunities through its network. The agency is one of the largest in the US and represents a variety of clients across music, film and television, including Bruno Mars, Coldplay and Rihanna.
Jisoo is the third Blackpink bandmate to sign with WME. Lisa joined the agency in September 2025 for film and television representation, while Rose signed later that year for representation across her music career.
The deal comes as Jisoo expands her solo career across both music and acting.
She is currently preparing her first LP after releasing prerelease singles “Click” on Sept. 4 and “Addicted” on Oct. 30. According to Blissoo, “Addicted” topped iTunes Top Songs charts in 28 regions.
Jisoo launched her solo music career in 2023 with the single EP “Me,” led by “Flower,” which peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Global 200. The album became the first release by a Korean female solo artist to surpass 1 million copies in sales.
Jisoo has also steadily built her acting career, appearing in the Coupang Play series “Newtopia” and the film “Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy” in 2025. This year, she starred in Netflix’s “Boyfriend on Demand.”
Blackpink, meanwhile, completed its “Deadline” world tour earlier this year, with stadium dates across North America, Europe and Asia.
