• BLACKPINK's Jisoo Reflects on Her Solo Journey: "This Year Was a Turning Point, Next Year is the Starting Point"

    BLACKPINK member and actress Jisoo has shared her excitement about her upcoming activities following her solo career launch.

    On November 18, Jisoo graced the cover of Elle magazine's December issue and opened up about her recent ventures in an interview.

    Having recently wrapped up filming for the movie Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint and the series Newtopia, Jisoo was asked if there’s a difference in responsibility between her music career and acting.

    She responded, “The energy might feel different in the moment, but both require long hours of dedication and hard work, so the weight of responsibility is the same. However, when I get a good script, I make sure to meet with the director and discuss it in detail. Since we’ll be working together for a long time, it’s important to make sure our visions align,” showcasing her professionalism.

    Reflecting on the process of music production after establishing her own agency, Jisoo shared, “There’s a lot to consider and decide on my own. It’s challenging, but enjoyable. I’ve also realized how many people are helping me along the way. That’s why I believe the meaning behind the final result will be even greater. I can’t wait to share it with everyone.”

    When asked about her upcoming project in 2025, Jisoo expressed her excitement: “After filming for a long time, it’s natural to become attached to the project. I really hope viewers enjoy it as much as I did while filming. Of course, I’m a bit nervous, but I’m also very excited.”

    She added, “This year has been a year of many firsts for me, and I’ve received so much support and warmth. If this year was a turning point for me, then I think next year will be the starting point for even more.” Jisoo’s future plans are certainly something fans can look forward to with anticipation.
