In less than a month, three members of BLACKPINK—Jennie, Lisa, and Rosé—have faced numerous social media controversies. Lisa has received mixed reactions to her solo comeback MV “ROCKSTAR,” and Rosé is rumored to be dating heartthrob Cha Eunwoo.
Recently, Jennie was suspected of vaping in a closed room, a scene that surfaced in a behind-the-scenes vlog from a show in the US. This incident went viral globally, prompting a complaint to the Italian Embassy and leading Jennie to apologize to her fans.
However, Jisoo is considered the least controversial member of BLACKPINK. Over the past six months, Jisoo has avoided scandals, with all news about her focusing on her personal activities.
Jisoo Focuses on Filming 2 Projects
At the start of 2024, fans were thrilled to learn that Jisoo would star in two acting projects: the TV drama “Influenza” and the movie adaptation “Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint.” The latter features a star-studded cast including Jisoo, Nana, Lee Min-ho, and Ahn Hyo-seop, and is expected to be a major hit upon release.
On the evening of May 30, the cast of “Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint” celebrated the end of filming in Seoul, South Korea. Here, Jisoo impressed fans with her simple yet beautiful look at the wrap party. Her heartfelt thanks to the crew for their hard work reinforced her reputation as a professional actress.
Earlier, a video clip of Jisoo filming “Influenza” at night circulated online. Due to her busy filming schedule, Jisoo dedicated all her time to acting. To reassure fans, Jisoo sent a message on the fan communication platform Bubble, sharing her happiness about filming and the care she received from the staff.
Continuous Fashion Gigs and Media Frenzy
Despite her hectic filming schedule, Jisoo continues to make headlines with her fashion appearances. At Paris Fashion Week, she was the center of attention at Dior’s fashion show. She also participated in a global campaign as a Global Ambassador for the luxury jewelry brand Cartier. Additionally, Jisoo took on projects with other brands such as Dyson and Alo.
Hints at a Solo Comeback?
On July 7, Jisoo’s fans were abuzz with speculations about her potential solo comeback. On the Bubble platform, Jisoo left a message saying, “After finishing filming, I will work hard to meet BLINKs as soon as possible,” along with a music note emoji, leading fans to believe she will resume solo music activities in 2024. If true, this year will be exceptionally busy with individual projects for all four BLACKPINK members.
