Blackpink’s Jisoo Confirms She Referenced Resident Evil’s Ada Wong in New Music Video
Blackpink member Jisoo has confirmed that she deliberately referenced Resident Evil’s Ada Wong in the music video for her solo track “Addicted.” The video debuted over Halloween weekend and features Jisoo in multiple outfit changes. One particular look—a black bob hairstyle paired with a red bodycon dress—immediately sparked recognition among fans due to its striking resemblance to Ada Wong’s iconic appearance, which the character has maintained consistently throughout the Resident Evil series.
Ada Wong is renowned for wearing variations of a black bob and red dress ensemble across nearly every Resident Evil game, making the look instantly identifiable to franchise enthusiasts. Following the video’s release, viewers flagged the resemblance and asked Jisoo directly whether the outfit was an intentional reference. She has now confirmed that it was, validating fans’ observations.
The reference represents a notable cultural crossover between K-pop and gaming, demonstrating how deeply video game characters have embedded themselves in popular culture. Ada Wong’s distinctive silhouette has made her one of Resident Evil’s most recognizable and iconic characters, transcending gaming audiences to become identifiable even to those unfamiliar with the series.
