BLACKPINK's JISOO Signs With WME for Worldwide Representation
BLACKPINK's JISOO has signed with WME, the talent agency also known as William Morris Endeavor, for worldwide representation. The signing was announced on Friday, 6 November, days after her second pre-release single, "Addicted," came out. Billboard reported the news.
A pre-release single is a song released ahead of a full project to build interest. JISOO's forthcoming debut solo album is a full-length record, meaning a complete album rather than a short EP. Her first single in the run-up was "Click," released in September, before "Addicted" followed.
Talent agencies handle the business side of a performer's career, from deals and bookings to partnerships. WME will represent JISOO around the world. Her bandmate ROSÉ signed with the same agency for worldwide representation in December 2025, covering all areas of her music career.
JISOO's song "Sun Showers" will appear on the soundtrack for The Angry Birds Movie 3. A soundtrack is the collection of songs released alongside a film. She is also the global ambassador for Dior, Cartier, Tommy Hilfiger and Salomon, meaning she is the public face of those brands in markets worldwide.
Her chart history is already long. "EYES CLOSED," her collaboration with Zayn, reached No. 72 on the Billboard Hot 100, the main weekly ranking of songs in the United States. Her single "Kkot (FLOWER)" reached No. 2 on the Billboard Global 200, which ranks songs across the world, and No. 1 on the Global Excl. US chart, which leaves out American listening.
BLACKPINK also has a chart first to its name. The group became the first girl group in which every member entered the Hot 100 as a solo artist. JISOO's 2023 debut EP, 'ME', became the first album by a female solo artist in South Korea to surpass one million sales, according to Billboard.
The group finished its sold-out Deadline World Tour earlier this year. The run included stops at major stadiums across North America, Europe and Asia.
For fans, the signing means the two members who have pursued solo work most visibly now share the same international agency. The next date to watch is the release of JISOO's full debut album, which has not yet been given a date.
