Blackpink's Jisoo has confirmed that she referenced Resident Evil's Ada Wong in the music video for her solo song, Addicted. The music video debuted over Halloween weekend, showing Jisoo wearing a variety of different looks, including a black bob and a red bodycon-style dress that fans noticed was similar to Ada Wong's style. Fans asked Jisoo if this was intentional on her app, and she confirmed that it was, saying "I love Biohazard (Resident Evil) sooo much, so I wanted to copy it.”
Jisoo is open about her love for Resident Evil, having spoken about the series on Hot Ones earlier this year, saying she was “addicted” to the games. She praised the series for its fast-paced gameplay and ability to hold her attention. This isn't the first time a K-pop star has drawn comparisons with Ada Wong, as Babymonster's Asa received similar comments from fans in August after posting photos of herself wearing a black bob and a red dress.
In other Resident Evil news, Zach Cregger, who directed the series' most recent movie adaptation, said he would still like to be involved in some way if a sequel gets made, though not as a director. It's unclear whether or not another Resi movie is in the works, but Capcom has doubled down on its plans to continue expanding its IP with merch, new content, and movies.
