Blackpink's Jisoo signs with Hollywood powerhouse agency WME

Jisoo was already well known as a member of the popular K-pop girl group Blackpink. After turning her attention to a solo career alongside the band, her popularity around the world grew further. Now she has taken another step forward on the international stage by signing with WME, one of Hollywood's biggest agencies.

According to a Billboard report, the agency formally signed her after a highly successful year for Jisoo across music, television and fashion. Based in Beverly Hills, California, WME represents leading musicians, actors and athletes around the world.

Its roster includes stars such as Bruno Mars, Adele, Rihanna, Billie Eilish, Coldplay and Olivia Rodrigo. Joining such an agency is being seen as a major advance for Jisoo's solo career.

Jisoo is the third Blackpink member to join WME. Her bandmate Lisa signed with the agency in September 2025 for film and television work, and another member, Rose, signed in December of that year for representation across all of her music work.

The news of the WME deal comes as Jisoo prepares to release her first solo full-length studio album. On September 4 she released the album's first pre-release single, "Click". The album's second song, "Addicted", followed on October 30. The album's title and release date have not yet been announced.

Alongside music, Jisoo is also busy acting. In 2025 she appeared in the series "Newtopia" and the film "Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy". She also earned praise for her role in the Netflix romantic comedy series "Boyfriend on Demand", released last March.

Her progress as a solo artist, alongside her work with the band, has been steady. With a new album in preparation, one acting project after another, and a presence in the fashion world, Billboard regards the past year as a successful one for her.

Joining a global agency like WME is expected to take Jisoo's solo career to new heights on the world stage. Her opportunities are expected to grow across music, television and film alike.

Fans are now focused on her first solo album. "Click" and "Addicted" have both been released, but they are still waiting for the album's title and release date to be announced. The WME deal seems only to have heightened that anticipation.
