Jisoo has signed with WME for worldwide representation, adding one of Hollywood’s biggest talent agencies to a solo career she has been building largely on her own terms. The BLACKPINK member’s deal with the Beverly Hills agency was announced the week of Nov. 6, 2026, and covers her activities across music, film, television, and brand work on a global scale.
The signing answers a question that follows almost every K-pop soloist into the American market: who negotiates what? For Jisoo, WME is an added layer, not a replacement for the label she owns, the record deal she signed, or the group she still belongs to. Here is what the deal changes, what it leaves untouched, and what to watch as her first full-length solo album takes shape.
What the Jisoo WME Deal Actually Covers
WME represents artists, actors, and athletes across music, film, television, and other fields. Its music clients include Adele, Billie Eilish, Bruno Mars, Coldplay, Olivia Rodrigo, Rihanna, Shakira, and The Weeknd, a roster that shows the scale of the room she is now working in.
The key word in the announcement is worldwide. Jisoo is the third BLACKPINK member to sign with WME, but each deal has a different shape. Lisa signed in September 2025 for her film and television work only. Rosé signed in December 2025 for representation across her entire music career. Jisoo’s agreement covers her worldwide activities, giving a multi-platform agency room to work across every lane she already occupies.
Representation deals can evolve over time, which makes this a current status rather than a permanent label.
Who Handles What: BLISSOO, Warner Records, YG
The WME deal does not replace any of Jisoo’s existing partnerships. She runs her solo activities through BLISSOO, the label she launched in February 2024, and she signed a global solo record deal with Warner Records in January 2025. Her BLACKPINK activities remain under YG Entertainment.
What WME adds is negotiation power on the global stage. The agency works on behalf of singers and actors for overseas concerts as well as television and film appearances. Jisoo keeps her label, her record partner, and her group. She gains representation that speaks the language of American studios, promoters, and brands.
Why a Hollywood Agency Fits Her Acting Arc
Jisoo’s screen résumé has grown quickly. She starred in the 2025 Coupang Play zombie series Newtopia and the film Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy, then played Seo Mi-rae, an overworked webtoon producer, in the Netflix romantic comedy Boyfriend on Demand, which premiered in March 2026.
Her fashion profile is just as deep. She is a global ambassador for Dior, Cartier, Tommy Hilfiger, and Salomon, was named the face of ALO Yoga, and in 2024 became the first musician to front the London label Self-Portrait. Recent projects include collaborations with Off-White and Pokémon, and she made her first Met Gala appearance in May 2026.
Representation, though, is not a casting announcement. An agency opens doors, arranges meetings, and negotiates deals. It does not book a film simply by signing a client. No Hollywood role, North American tour, or WME-brokered campaign has been announced, and that distinction is worth remembering the next time a headline sounds bigger than it is.
The Deal Arrives Mid-Rollout for Her First Solo Album
The signing landed while Jisoo is deep into a new music era. She released Click, billed as her first pre-album single, on Sept. 4, 2026, followed by Addicted on Oct. 30. The moody dance-pop track about being powerless against attraction reached No. 1 on iTunes Top Songs charts in 28 regions and also topped the iTunes Worldwide Songs chart.
Her first full-length solo album is in progress. BLISSOO has not announced a title or release date, which leaves the rollout open-ended and gives the WME deal room to matter across more than one format.
The benchmark for what a Jisoo era can achieve is high. Her 2023 debut single album ME became the first album by a female solo artist in South Korea to pass 1 million sales, and FLOWER reached No. 2 on the Billboard Global 200 and No. 1 on Billboard Global Excl. U.S. Its music video drew the biggest 24-hour audience of any K-pop video released that year. She followed with the 2025 mini album AMORTAGE and Eyes Closed, a collaboration with Zayn that charted at No. 20 on the Global 200 and No. 72 on the Hot 100. That Hot 100 entry made BLACKPINK the first girl group with every member on the chart as a solo artist. “I think I’d be really happy if people listen to this album and say they discovered a new side of me,” she told V Magazine in an interview published in May.
Where BLACKPINK Fits In
Nothing about the WME deal changes the group. BLACKPINK completed its sold-out DEADLINE world tour with stadium dates across North America, Europe, and Asia, and the DEADLINE EP opened at No. 8 on the Billboard 200. It was their first major release since Born Pink topped the chart in 2022.
Jisoo debuted with BLACKPINK under YG Entertainment in 2016, and group activity stays with that label. For now, the WME signing reads as a solo-career upgrade layered on top of a structure that is fully intact.
What Fans Should Watch Next
Three items will reveal how the WME partnership functions. The first is the album: a title, a release date, and whether a third pre-release single follows Click and Addicted. A song called Sun Showers has been reported as an original for The Angry Birds Movie 3 soundtrack, but it has not been confirmed by her label.
The second is the first Jisoo project announced with WME involvement, whether that is a screen role, a live date, or a global brand campaign. The third is whether her solo schedule tilts further toward North America, where her streaming audience and her fashion profile already overlap with the market WME knows best.
For fans, the practical takeaway is simple. Jisoo now has a Hollywood agency, the same label, and the same group. The next confirmed move will show how quickly that new address book gets used.
