JISOO Returns With New Single and Futuristic Music Video for CLICK
BLACKPINK star JISOO launched the next chapter of her solo career with the pop track “CLICK,” accompanied by a futuristic music video directed by Joseph Kahn. The cinematic clip follows a cyborg version of the singer left behind in a deserted theme park, exploring themes of isolation, connection, and fan devotion.
JISOO Enters a New Era with the Futuristic “CLICK”
Inside the Sci-Fi Imagery and Joseph Kahn’s Direction
In the cinematic video for “CLICK,” Joseph Kahn—known for his work with pop acts like Taylor Swift and Britney Spears—depicts a barren, lifeless amusement park where a lonely cyborg JISOO resides.
The visual storytelling draws clear inspiration from classic science fiction, evoking cinematic touchstones such as Pixar’s Wall-E, Steven Spielberg’s A.I. Central to the narrative is the “CLICK Bear,” a recurring symbol representing JISOO’s global fan base spanning diverse countries, languages, and lifestyles.
Building on Billboard Milestones and the Zayn Collaboration
The release of “CLICK” follows a sustained period of high-profile activity for the South Korean pop superstar. Last year, JISOO teased her current solo era with “EYES CLOSED,” a collaboration with former One Direction member Zayn that peaked at No. 72 on the Billboard Hot 100. That charting milestone cemented BLACKPINK as the first girl group to have every member enter the Hot 100 as a solo artist.
DEADLINE EP Success and the Legacy of AMORTAGE
The group itself maintained heavy momentum, releasing the DEADLINE EP in February following their massive Deadline World Tour. DEADLINE opened at No. 8 on the Billboard 200, marking the group’s first major music release since topping the all-genres albums chart in 2022 with Born Pink. On the solo front, “CLICK” follows JISOO’s 2025 debut mini-album AMORTAGE, which featured tracks like “earthquake” and “Your Love.”
Tracing the Records Set Since Her 2023 Debut
JISOO officially commenced her solo journey in 2023 with the release of her debut EP, ME. That release set a milestone by becoming the first album by a female solo artist in South Korea to surpass one million sales. Its lead single, “꽃(FLOWER),” surged to No. 2 on the Billboard Global 200 and secured the top spot on the Global Excl. US chart in April 2023. Managing global rollouts of this commercial magnitude requires sophisticated logistical planning.
