From being an outstanding idol to a skilled actress, Jisoo is now entering a new era as a CEO! On February 21, Jisoo of the sensational K-pop girl group BLACKPINK has announced that she’s starting anew through her own company, BLISSOO. 

Alongside the confirmation about the newly-launched agency, the official social media accounts for it have also been available to the public. Sharing a photo of her smiling alongside the company logo, Jisoo announced that she is excited to share her new start with BLISSOO. 

In the caption, she wrote: “Stay tuned for what’s to come as I’m dedicated to bringing joy and happiness to each and everyone of you.” 

According to the company’s website, its name is a combination of the artist’s name, whose charm unfolds like a precious gift, and the word “bliss” which symbolizes complete happiness. Moreover, BLISSOO claims that their mission is to share the happiness Jisoo creates in her unique way.

Furthermore, the agency also asked fans to continue their support for the idol as well as her group, BLACKPINK. Earlier, it was rumored that the idol will pursue her solo activities under a family management system. 

Blinks send their well wishes for BLISSOO

With Jisoo now launching her own company, she now becomes the third BLACKPINK member to establish their own agencies. In December 2023, fellow member Jennie announced the establishment of own label Odd Atelier. Meanwhile, Lisa unveiled her own company LLOUD in early February 2024. 

As of now, Rosé is the only remaining member who has yet to establish her own label. 

To recall, the four BLACKPINK members renewed their group contracts with home agency, YG Entertainment, after their seven-year contract ended in August 2023. However, this renewal will only cater to their group activities as BLACKPINK. As for their individual schedules, YG Entertainment announced that Jisoo, Jennie, Lisa, and Rosé have different plans for their own respective career. 

Although set to be managed by their own labels for individual schedules, BLACKPINK assured that they will remain as OT4 for their group activities.

Following the news about BLISSOO, BLINKs, BLACKPINK’s fandom, expressed their happiness for Jisoo’s new era. On social media, they sent their congratulatory messages and well wishes for the “Flower” singer.

“I will always support you, our new CEO,” one fan wrote. Meanwhile, another said that she is both excited and proud of the idol.

Jisoo will have more autonomy

As of 2024, the members of BLACKPINK are taking new directions with their solo careers, separate from their group activities under YG Entertainment. Jennie co-founded her own label, ODD ATELIER, with her mother. This label will be the base for her solo activities, separate from her work with BLACKPINK. ODD ATELIER’s official website features new photos of Jennie and provides an introduction to the label. 

Jennie’s decision to establish her own company marks a significant step in her career. Overall, both she and Jisoo are adopting a strategy to receive support from their families in smaller agencies rather than executives in large corporations. This approach allows them more autonomy and control over their solo careers while maintaining their roles within BLACKPINK.

Meanwhile, the other two members of BLACKPINK, Lisa and Rosé, have yet to announce their plans for solo activities. – K-Pop News Writer

G-DRAGON’s New Agency Addresses BLACKPINK’s Jisoo Possibly Joining The Company

Recent rumors circulating about BLACKPINK’s Jisoo signing an exclusive contract with content creation company Galaxy Corporation have been firmly denied by the company. While there were speculations regarding Jisoo’s potential move to a new agency following reports that YG Entertainment failed to secure solo contracts with BLACKPINK members, Galaxy Corporation has refuted all such claims.

Galaxy Corporation Breaks Silence on Reports of Signing BLACKPINK’s Jisoo for Individual Activities

Responding to media inquiries, Galaxy Corporation explicitly denied any exclusive contract with Jisoo and clarified that there were no developments in the process of obtaining a contract with the BLACKPINK member. The company also emphasized the need for accuracy in reporting and addressed the inquiries from various sources attempting to verify the alleged signing.

“We’ve been receiving many calls about that. But that’s not true. If anything like that happens, we’ll let you know,” the agency stated.

The clarification comes amidst a dynamic landscape in the K-pop industry where artists, particularly those from successful groups, explore opportunities with new agencies or establish personal labels for individual activities.

YG Entertainment, BLACKPINK’s management agency, has officially confirmed that the members will sign exclusively for group activities and promotions with the company, maintaining a collective framework for BLACKPINK. While the group remains under YG Entertainment for collaborative efforts, the members, including Jisoo, also have the potential to pursue individual projects within that framework.

The dynamic nature of K-pop also allows artists to navigate diverse opportunities while contributing to both group and personal successes.

BLACKPINK’s Jisoo Confesses Surprising Lazy Phone Habit

Jisoo admitted to fellow BLACKPINK member Rosé that she has a lazy phone habit

Jisoo of BLACKPINK openly admitted that she’s not one to frequently check her text messages. The “Flower” singer shared her lazy habit with fellow member Rosé. However, Jisoo had an interesting reason why she doesn’t give text messages much attention.

BLACKPINK’s Jisoo Admits Being Lazy About Checking Text Messages

In a recent episode of “MBTI Balance Game” on Jisoo’s YouTube channel “Happy Jisoo 103%,” both Jisoo and Rosé shared their MBTI personality types. It was confirmed that Jisoo is ISTP while Rosé is ENFP.

As part of their engaging conversation, they decided to read aloud the MBTI descriptions of each other’s personalities. Not surprisingly, it gave BLINKS an intriguing glimpse into their character traits. Rosé kicked off the insightful exchange, delving into the characteristics associated with Jisoo’s ISTP personality type.

At one point, Rosé read out loud that ISTP personalities “leave people on read and do not respond when they run out of things to say.” The “Gone” singer refuted the statement. “No, Jisoo is responsive to me; I don’t think this is you,” she said.

Interestingly, Jisoo disagreed with her fellow BLACKPINK member. “But I have lots of messages I haven’t read,” she said. This prompted Rosé to admit, “That’s the same with me too. Is that the trait of P?”

Although it’s not encouraged to ignore text messages, BLINKs loved the rapport between the BLACKPINK members. It’s clear that Jisoo and Rosé enjoy talking to each other and laughing about their similarities. With that in mind, we’re hoping that the girls continue to share interesting details about their personalities in the future.

In the meantime, BLACKPINK is gearing up for a new venture. On May 18, the group unveiled their new single “The Girls”. The song will be featured on the soundtrack of their mobile game, “BLACKPINK: The Game” which was released on August 23, 2023.
