Blackpink’s Jisoo has confirmed that she referenced Resident Evil’s Ada Wong in the music video for her solo song, Addicted.
The song debuted over Halloween weekend, with its accompanying music video showing Jisoo wearing a variety of different looks. One of these outfits, however, struck a chord with certain members of her fanbase due to how startlingly similar it looked to a character from Resident Evil.
At the beginning of the music video, Jisoo wears a black bob and a red bodycon-style dress — a look that’s basically synonymous with Ada Wong, who almost always wears some variation of this style in each game she appears in.
Fans couldn’t help but notice the similarities and asked the K-pop star if this was intentional on her very own app. “Red outfit + short hair look is totally Ada Wong from Resident Evil,” one wrote.
Surprisingly, Jisoo confirmed that this was actually intentional. "I love Biohazard (Resident Evil) sooo much, so I wanted to copy it,” she said in a reply.
Jisoo is open about her love for Resident Evil; she spoke about the series on Hot Ones earlier this year, saying she was “addicted” to the games.
“It’s fast-paced,” she explained. “Something will suddenly pop out at you, so you have to be quick and process it all and take care of the situation. That’s why it’s able to hold my attention, and time just flies right by.”
Funnily enough, Jisoo isn’t the only K-pop star to draw comparisons with Ada Wong recently; in August, Babymonster’s Asa received similar comments from fans after she posted photos of herself on social media wearing a black bob and a red dress , sparking a cute portmanteau of ‘Asa Wong’ from her fanbase.
