WME Signs BLACKPINK’s JISOO for Worldwide Representation

BLACKPINK‘s JISOO has signed with WME (William Morris Endeavor) for worldwide representation.

Announced Friday (Nov. 6), the K-pop superstar joins the WME roster just days after the release of “Addicted,” the second pre-release single from her forthcoming debut solo album. Earlier, in September, she dropped the single “Click,” and a third solo song is expected in the weeks ahead, “Sun Showers,” an original number that will appear on the The Angry Birds Movie 3 soundtrack, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

As a member of the record-busting BLACKPINK, JISOO completed the sold-out Deadline World Tour earlier this year, a trek that stopped in major stadiums across North America, Europe and Asia.

Adjacent to her pop career, the in-demand South Korean artist has a growing profile in film and fashion. She’s the global ambassador for Dior, Cartier, Tommy Hilfiger and Salomon; was appointed the face of ALO Yoga, and in 2024 became the first musician to be the face of the London fashion house Self-Portrait; she landed a starring role in the Netflix romcom Boyfriend on Demand, which premiered in March; and recently launched brand collaborations with Off-White and Pokémon.

It’s been full speed ahead for JISOO, who teased her new solo chapter last year with “EYES CLOSED,” a collaboration with ex-One Direction star Zayn. The single reached No. 72 on the Billboard Hot 100. With that effort, BLACKPINK became the first girl group to have every member enter the Hot 100 as a solo artist.

BLACKPINK released the DEADLINE EP in February of this year, after completing the tour of the same name. DEADLINE opened at No. 8 on the Billboard 200, and marked their first major music release since hitting No. 1 on the all-genres albums tally with 2022’s Born Pink.

JISOO began her solo journey in 2023, with the release of her 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),” powered to No. 2 on the Billboard Global 200 in April of that year, and No. 1 on the Global Excl. US chart. A debut mini album arrived in 2025, AMORTAGE, and included songs “earthquake” and “Your Love.

When her album proper arrives, expect the full package. “Since I’m preparing a full-length album this time, I’m working on showing a wider range of music,” she told V Magazine for an interview published in May. “I think I’d be really happy if people listen to this album and say they discovered a new side of me.”

At WME, JISOO joins a stable of artists that includes Adele, Andrea Bocelli, Billie Eilish, Bob Dylan, Bruno Mars, Chris Stapleton, Coldplay, Depeche Mode, Foo Fighters and many others.
