BLACKPINK’s Jisoo has signed with WME, the major U.S. talent agency that represents stars like Bruno Mars and Billie Eilish. After leaving YG Entertainment and founding her own label, BLISSOO, in February 2024, she continues BLACKPINK activities with YG while pursuing acting and solo music through her label. The deal is expected to boost her global career.

ILLIT earned its first music show No. 1 since its comeback with “You’re Under Arrest” on KBS 2TV’s Music Bank. The group thanked its staff, Moka, and GLLIT, and said it would keep trying to “arrest” fans’ hearts. The song is also charting strongly on streaming, Billboard, and TikTok, and remixes were released.

BLACKPINK’s Jennie has expanded her activities by joining the OST for Netflix’s animated film “The Fairy Kingdom of Lilith and Cinderella.” Her song “Someone to Hold” was officially released today. It is her first animated film OST, and the powerful ballad highlights the film’s climax and the sisters’ bond. The song had already drawn attention with a Hollywood Music in Media Awards nomination. Jennie said she was happy to create a song for an animated film and to be part of the characters’ world.

ILLIT released “You’re Under Arrest (Remixes),” a seven-track set featuring four remix styles plus sped-up and slowed versions. The song is charting globally, and a “Little Mimi” version of the 5th mini album BREAK EVEN will be released next month as a doll-keyring album with merch.

ILLIT’s “jellyous” music video from its 3rd mini album “bomb” surpassed 100 million YouTube views, marking the group’s third MV to reach the milestone after “Magnetic” and “It’s Me.” The song and its follow-up “You’re Under Arrest” are also charting strongly in Korea, Japan, and globally.

HYBE reported record Q3 revenue and operating profit, led by BTS’s world tour and its multi-home, multi-genre strategy. Concerts, music releases, and MD/licensing all grew strongly, while KATSEYE and &TEAM expanded globally. HYBE says it will keep scaling this model worldwide.
