BLACKPINK member Jisoo confirmed that her short black hair and red dress look in the music video for her solo song "Addicted" was intentionally inspired by Ada Wong from Resident Evil, and was not a design coincidence. The song and MV were released over the Halloween weekend, with this outfit appearing at the beginning of the video.
New MV:
Ada Wong frequently appears with short hair and a red outfit in various Resident Evil titles. After some fans noticed the similarity, they asked Jisoo on her own app whether this was a deliberate homage. Jisoo responded that she is a big fan of Resident Evil and wanted to emulate Ada Wong's look.
Jisoo had previously discussed her interest in the series while appearing on Hot Ones. She mentioned that the game moves quickly, requiring players to make rapid judgments and respond to sudden situations, an experience that keeps her engaged and makes time fly while playing.
Another K-pop artist, Asa, had previously been compared to Ada Wong by fans due to her similar short black hair and red dress style. However, Asa did not confirm any connection, unlike Jisoo, who personally acknowledged the homage this time.
