JISOO of BLACKPINK: A Story in Every Era

JISOO of BLACKPINK is Kim Jisoo, a South Korean singer and actress born on January 3, 1995. She debuted with BLACKPINK in 2016, launched her solo recording career with ME in 2023, and has built a screen career spanning Snowdrop, Newtopia and Boyfriend on Demand.

An overworked webtoon producer trying virtual romance. A young woman navigating a zombie outbreak. A solo artist whose EP title borrows the language of film editing. These projects look very different until you put the same name beside them: JISOO.

That is the most interesting way into her career. Follow the characters and emotional situations she steps into, and music, acting and even a fashion campaign begin to speak to one another.

For BLINKs who arrived with “FLOWER,” or newer listeners discovering “CLICK,” this guide connects those worlds: the essential records, the roles worth knowing, and the practical distinction between BLACKPINK, BLISSOO and her solo releases.

Updated September 21, 2026. Career details are sourced throughout. Connections between projects are our editorial interpretation, not a claim that they share an official storyline.

Who Is JISOO? The Essentials Before the Opening Scene

JISOO is one of BLACKPINK's four members alongside JENNIE, ROSÉ and LISA. The group debuted on August 8, 2016, with Square One, featuring “WHISTLE” and “BOOMBAYAH.” YG's official discography records that starting point.

Her birthday is listed on YG's member profile; her individual projects appear in BLISSOO's official portfolio.

The dates explain why a simple label such as “idol turned actress” is an incomplete introduction. Her first major television lead, Snowdrop, began in 2021, before her solo music debut. Her singing and screen work have developed alongside each other.

The Clue Hidden in the Name AMORTAGE

One of the clearest connections between JISOO's music and screen identity is right there in an album title.

AMORTAGE combines the language of love with montage, the assembly of separate moments into a sequence. Released on February 14, 2025, the EP brings together four songs: “earthquake,” “Your Love,” “TEARS” and “Hugs & Kisses.” Its rollout explicitly introduced the concept as a montage of love. See the documented release history and official streaming listing.

That concept gives a listener a useful way to approach the record. Instead of treating the tracks as four competing singles, listen to them in order and ask how the emotional situation changes. What does the opening invite you to expect? What feels different by the final track?

The word montage also explains the editorial thread running through this profile. A performance can become more interesting when placed beside another one. The relationship between the moments is part of what we notice.

This does not mean every song describes JISOO's private life. A performer can communicate a feeling without giving an audience an autobiographical confession. Keeping that distinction lets us enjoy the storytelling on its own terms.

JISOO's Songs: Four Releases, Four Entry Points

A newcomer does not need a complicated playlist to catch up. Start with the principal releases below, then explore alternate versions and performances once you know the originals.

Dates and release formats are recorded in the official listings for ME, AMORTAGE, “EYES CLOSED” and “CLICK”.

Why ME Deserves More Than One Track

“FLOWER” is an obvious entrance into JISOO's solo catalog, but ME also includes “All Eyes On Me.” Playing both gives the debut its full shape rather than reducing it to the song you may already recognize.

The distinction is small but useful: “FLOWER” is the song; ME is the release containing it. Streaming services may label a two-track release a single, while K-pop discographies describe it as a single album. Those labels can refer to the same project.

What a Duet Adds

“EYES CLOSED” pairs JISOO with ZAYN. That creates a different listening task from following her within BLACKPINK or through a solo track: pay attention to the handovers, the shared space and what the second voice changes.

The point of that comparison is discovery, rather than deciding which collaboration proves anything about her status. Different formats ask different things of a performer.

Where “CLICK” Fits

“CLICK” extends the catalog into 2026. Its official music video offers a starting point for viewers arriving through its visual presentation, while the audio release lets you hear the track separately from its imagery.

Try both experiences. Watch once for the performance and setting, then listen without the screen. Notice what stays with you in each version. That is a useful way to approach an artist whose work crosses music and acting without assuming every visual detail has a confirmed hidden meaning.

With JISOO, the next scene can begin in another medium.

The Actress: Choose Your JISOO Story by Genre

The most useful filmography does more than list titles. It helps a reader choose what to watch.

Here are four substantial screen projects, with their different starting points. This is a selection, not a claim to include every cameo or early appearance.

The roles and project years are listed by BLISSOO. The viewing routes are editorial suggestions based on their premises.

Snowdrop: A Different Kind of Attention

A television lead gives viewers time to follow a character through changing circumstances. For a fan who first encountered JISOO in performances lasting a few minutes, a serialized drama changes the scale of that encounter.

Snowdrop is therefore an important part of her career map even for readers who discovered her music later. It also makes the chronology clear: substantial acting work was already part of her public career before ME arrived.

Newtopia: Romance Under Pressure

Newtopia places JISOO opposite Park Jeong-min in a story about a couple trying to reconnect during a zombie outbreak. Its combination of relationship trouble and survival comedy takes her into a very different setting. Teen Vogue's production guide explains the premise and cast.

That shift is a useful reason to compare projects. The genre changes what a scene needs: an emotional exchange may have to coexist with danger, physical action or comic timing.

Boyfriend on Demand: When Romance Becomes a Simulation

In Netflix's Boyfriend on Demand, JISOO plays Seo Mi-rae, an exhausted webtoon producer who tries a virtual dating service. The series, released on March 6, 2026, also stars Seo In-guk. Netflix's own guide introduces the premise.

This provides a particularly interesting companion to the montage idea. A dating simulation can place one protagonist inside several imagined romantic situations, while the viewer follows the person connecting them.

The link to AMORTAGE is an editorial comparison: both invite an audience to move between emotional scenarios. It is not evidence that the series inspired the EP or that the projects belong to a shared fictional universe.

For anyone finding JISOO through a K-drama, that comparison offers a natural route back into her music. For BLINKs, it gives another reason to explore the screen work beyond familiar clips.

Streaming availability varies by country. Check the current local catalog before subscribing for a particular title.

When a Fashion Campaign Becomes an Audition

JISOO's 2026 self-portrait campaign, Portraits of a Screen Star, makes the connection between fashion and acting unusually explicit.

The brand describes four short episodes built around imagined audition tapes, photographed in Seoul by Oliver Hadlee Pearch. Its official page presents JISOO as a succession of cinematic characters. See self-portrait's campaign.

That format gives the clothes a narrative job. Styling helps establish who a character might be; performance has to make that suggestion feel inhabited. A change of expression or posture can become as important to the idea as the outfit.

This is an interpretation of the campaign's format, rather than a claim that fashion work and a dramatic role demand exactly the same skills. What makes the comparison useful is that the brand itself chose auditions as its organizing idea.

For a JISOO profile, it is more revealing than simply counting ambassador appointments. It offers a concrete example of two parts of her career meeting in one project.

The costume changes; the interest lies in who she becomes inside it.

BLACKPINK, BLISSOO and Warner: Who Does What?

Three names frequently appear around JISOO's releases, and they answer different questions.

BLACKPINK is the group she belongs to with JENNIE, ROSÉ and LISA. BLISSOO is her individual label. Warner Records is the record company associated with her recent solo music releases.

BLISSOO explains its name as a combination of bliss and JISOO, and presents her work across entertainment fields. The music listings for AMORTAGE and “CLICK” identify Warner Records and the licensing relationship with BLISSOO. These sources clarify the structure without turning a company arrangement into a story about leaving BLACKPINK. BLISSOO, Warner's JISOO page.

For fans, the practical benefit is knowing where to look. Use the individual channels for solo announcements and filmography; use BLACKPINK's official channels for group releases and activities. A quiet period on one channel does not, by itself, explain what is happening across the entire career.

A Small JISOO Starter Plan

If this is your first proper introduction, you can explore the main ideas without trying to catch up on everything at once.

1. Play both tracks on ME. Give the solo debut its complete two-song introduction.
2. Listen to AMORTAGE in order. Consider how its four tracks work as a sequence.
3. Add “EYES CLOSED” and “CLICK.” Compare a duet with her latest solo release.
4. Pick a screen project by genre. Choose the premise that interests you, whether that is virtual romance, suspense or fantasy action.
5. Visit the official portfolio. BLISSOO provides a useful map when you want to go further.

Why Her Next Chapter Is Worth Following

JISOO gives different audiences different entrances. A BLACKPINK listener can discover a drama. A viewer can find an EP. A campaign can introduce a character that makes someone curious about both.

Those connections make following her rewarding: the next project can change the setting, the tone and what a performance asks of her. The continuity comes from watching how one artist moves through those choices.
