BLACKPINK’s Jisoo showed off a seductive image change with “ADDICTED,” a song that sings of a thrilling love heart. Jisoo released the pre-release song “ADDICTED,” the second song from her first full album, through various music streaming sites at 8 a.m. today (the 30th). “ADDICTED” is a song that sings of the sweet yet stimulating feelings of love. It expresses the feeling of being repeatedly attracted and, before one knows it, deeply immersed, through Jisoo’s unique singing voice and performance. The thunder sound effect that decorates the beginning instantly heightens the sense of immersion, and Jisoo’s vocals, which freely move back and forth across a wide range, overlap with the powerful beat, doubling the song’s addictiveness. In the released music video, one can confirm Jisoo’s even deeper charm. Not only her splendid visuals, but also an aura that combines a mysterious atmosphere and charisma, and even a fantastical underwater performance were shown. Within the cinematic direction, music, visuals, and performance harmonize beautifully, maximizing the song’s appeal. Choreography was handled by choreographer Lee Jung, who recently received the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Commendation at the “2026 Korea Popular Culture and Arts Awards.” He completed choreography that maximized Jisoo’s charm. Jisoo is scheduled to appear on music programs in the future and perform the stage for “ADDICTED.” She has been sequentially releasing the tracks from her first full album, showing a more distinct musical color as a solo artist. In the first pre-release song “CLICK,” released last month, she expressed instinctive feelings of love with an elegant and calm singing voice, but in this “ADDICTED,” she showed a different side by wearing a denser and more intense atmosphere. By releasing songs with different moods and concepts one after another, she is raising expectations for the diverse musicality to be shown on her first full album. On the 29th, BLACKPINK received the Okgwan Order of Cultural Merit at the “17th Korea Popular Culture and Arts Awards” held at Haeoreum Theater of the National Theater in Seoul. It was the first time that a K-pop girl group had received the Okgwan Order of Cultural Merit, and BLACKPINK was the first.
