BLACKPINK's Jisoo signs with Hollywood agency WME

BLACKPINK member Jisoo has signed with WME, a prestigious Hollywood talent agency, for global representation as she expands her solo career beyond Korea. This significant move was reported by U.S. music industry media, highlighting an extraordinary year for Jisoo across various fields such as music, television, fashion, and culture.

WME, headquartered in Beverly Hills, represents artists, actors, and athletes in music, film, television, and other sectors. Notable music clients of the agency include Bruno Mars, Coldplay, and Rihanna. The new agreement does not alter Jisoo's ongoing partnerships. She manages her solo activities through Blissoo, a label she established in February 2024, and signed a global solo record deal with Warner Records in January 2025.

Her BLACKPINK career continues under the management of YG Entertainment. Jisoo is now the third BLACKPINK member to join WME. Her bandmate Lisa signed with the agency in September 2025, but solely for her film and television endeavors, while Rosé signed with WME in December for representation across all aspects of her music career.

Jisoo's debut as a member of BLACKPINK marked the beginning of her journey that led to this major milestone.
