Her latest musical offering, the moody dance-pop single &quot;Addicted,&quot; was released just last week. The track, which explores the universal theme of feeling entirely powerless against intense romantic attraction, has resonated globally. Within days of its release, &quot;Addicted&quot; climbed to the number-one position on iTunes Top Songs charts across 28 distinct geographic regions, ultimately capturing the summit of the iTunes Worldwide Songs Chart.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Addicted&quot; serves as the direct follow-up to &quot;Click,&quot; which was introduced to the industry as the primary pre-album single of her current promotional cycle. Driven by a vibrant pop production, &quot;Click&quot; centered on a narrative of two individuals from disparate cultural and social backgrounds navigating the complexities of fate to find one another. Both tracks showcase Jisoo\u2019s distinct vocal tone, which balances ethereal delicacy with emotional resonance, separating her sonic identity from the high-octane hip-hop and electronic soundscapes characteristic of Blackpink\u2019s collective discography.<\/p>\n<p>The foundation for her solo success was firmly established in March 2023 with the release of her debut single album, &quot;Me.&quot; Anchored by the explosive breakout track &quot;Flower,&quot; the EP achieved historic status within the South Korean music industry. &quot;Me&quot; shattered domestic records by surpassing one million physical copies sold, making Jisoo the first female solo artist in South Korean history to achieve million-seller status with a debut record. <\/p>\n<p>The commercial impact of &quot;Flower&quot; extended far beyond domestic borders. The single climbed to No. 2 on the Billboard Global 200 and secured the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart. Furthermore, its accompanying music video generated the largest 24-hour debut audience for any K-pop music video released throughout 2023, cementing her viability as an independent commercial draw.<\/p>\n<p>Following this unprecedented debut, Jisoo continued to refine her musical identity with the 2025 mini-album &quot;Amortage,&quot; which featured fan-favorite tracks such as &quot;Earthquake&quot; and &quot;Your Love.&quot; Demonstrating her collaborative versatility, she also released &quot;Eyes Closed&quot; in late 2025, a compelling duet with pop artist Zayn. The collaboration proved to be a critical and commercial success, securing a top-ten placement on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart, peaking at No. 20 on the broader Global 200, and landing at No. 72 on the prestigious U.S. Billboard Hot 100.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Multifaceted_Entertainment_Career_Acting_Fashion_and_Live_Performance\"><\/span>A Multifaceted Entertainment Career: Acting, Fashion, and Live Performance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While Jisoo\u2019s musical accomplishments form the core of her global appeal, her professional footprint has expanded rapidly into television, cinema, and high fashion. Throughout 2026, the artist has maintained an unforgiving schedule that underscores her status as a ubiquitous pop culture figure. <\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, Jisoo wrapped up Blackpink\u2019s &quot;Deadline World Tour,&quot; a massive, critically acclaimed, and entirely sold-out stadium run that packed venues across North America, Europe, and Asia. Despite the grueling demands of a global stadium tour, she seamlessly transitioned into the television sphere, headlining the Netflix romantic-comedy series &quot;Boyfriend on Demand,&quot; which premiered to strong global viewership numbers in March. Her performance in the series received praise for its comedic timing and emotional approach, further validating her ambitions as a dramatic actress following her acclaimed role in the 2021 JTBC drama &quot;Snowdrop.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Beyond music and television, Jisoo has solidified her status as a premier global fashion icon. In May, she made her highly anticipated debut at the Met Gala in New York City, capturing global media attention and drawing praise from fashion critics for her red-carpet presentation. Her influence within the luxury sector is further underscored by high-profile brand partnerships, including recent creative ventures with luxury fashion house Off-White and a widely publicized collaboration with the Pok\u00e9mon franchise.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Chronology_of_Jisoos_Solo_Ascent\"><\/span>Chronology of Jisoo\u2019s Solo Ascent<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>March 2023:<\/strong> Releases her debut solo single album, &quot;Me,&quot; featuring the smash hit &quot;Flower.&quot; The record sells over one million copies, setting a historic benchmark for female soloists in South Korea. &quot;Flower&quot; peaks at No. 1 on the Billboard Global Excl.

For global K-pop stars, securing representation with major Hollywood agencies like WME, CAA, or UTA has become a standard blueprint for bridging the gap between localized Asian success and mainstream Western market integration. <\/p>\n<p>Industry analysts note that while Jisoo already commands a massive, deeply loyal international fan base built through her decade-long tenure with Blackpink, her solo endeavors require specialized navigation to secure Western brand endorsements, high-profile acting roles in English-language media, and strategic global tour routing. WME\u2019s extensive infrastructure and established relationships within the North American film, television, and advertising industries provide the necessary scaffolding to elevate Jisoo from a global music phenomenon to a multi-hyphenate international superstar.<\/p>\n<p>With a fresh chart-topping single, an expanding acting resume, and the backing of one of the world&#8217;s premier talent agencies, Jisoo is uniquely positioned to redefine the boundaries of modern pop stardom. As she prepares to unveil more music from her upcoming full-length solo era, the global entertainment industry watches closely to see how this powerful alliance will shape her trajectory in the months and years to come.<\/p>\n<!-- RatingBintangAjaib -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jisoo, the multifaceted South Korean singer, actor, and global cultural icon best known as a foundational member of the phenomenally successful K-op group Blackpink, has officially signed with prominent talent agency WME for worldwide representation across all professional domains.
