Jisoo, born Kim Jisoo on January 3, 1995, is a member of BLACKPINK and a solo artist under her own label, Blissoo, who releases "CLICK" on September 4, 2026, the pre-release single leading into her first full-length solo studio album. Combining multiple Korean and international entertainment outlets, the release continues a run of BLACKPINK member solo activity through September 2026, and marks a new chapter for Jisoo specifically — her first full album as a solo artist, following a 2023 solo debut that broke first-week sales records for a female soloist.
From BLACKPINK Debut to Solo Artist
Jisoo trained under YG Entertainment starting in 2011 and debuted with BLACKPINK on August 8, 2016, alongside the single "SQUARE ONE." Within the group, she's often described as the member whose background and style feel the most rooted in a mainstream Korean sensibility, distinct from her bandmates' more international backgrounds — a quality widely credited with helping ground BLACKPINK's identity as a K-pop group even as the group built a global fanbase. She made her individual solo debut on March 31, 2023, with the mini album "ME," featuring the title track "FLOWER" and "All Eyes on Me." The single's first-week sales of roughly 1.17 million copies made it a million-seller and set a first-week sales record among female solo artists at the time.
Building a Solo Identity Beyond BLACKPINK
Since her 2023 solo debut, Jisoo has continued developing an acting career alongside her music, including a leading role in a Netflix original series that drew renewed attention to her range as a performer beyond the group's established image. Her music has also carried her own label's branding since founding Blissoo, giving her direct creative control over her solo output in a way distinct from group activity under YG Entertainment.
The September 2026 Comeback: "CLICK"
"CLICK" releases at 1 p.m. KST on September 4, 2026, through Blissoo and Warner Records, serving as the lead single from her upcoming debut full-length solo studio album — her first as a complete album rather than a mini album or single. Described by coverage as a dance-pop track built over restrained synth and an elastic bassline, the song explores an instinctive, hard-to-explain attraction between two people who know they probably shouldn't be drawn to each other, distilled into the single word "click." The accompanying music video was directed by Korean-American director Joseph Kahn, a Grammy-winning director known for his work with major pop artists including Taylor Swift, Eminem, and Lady Gaga. Jisoo has indicated that "CLICK" will be followed by additional pre-release singles with varying moods as the full album comes together.
