Clarification from BLISSOO
In response to these speculations, BLISSOO, the label Jisoo founded in February 2024, issued a statement:
“Nothing has been decided yet.”
“Jisoo’s solo comeback reports are not true. The artist intends to focus on her acting career.”
Jisoo’s Growing Acting Career
Recent developments highlight Jisoo’s commitment to acting, having just completed filming for the upcoming Korean movie Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint, where she stars alongside Lee Min-ho and Ahn Hyo-seop. Furthermore, she is set to take leading roles in anticipated K-dramas such as Monthly Boyfriend and the post-apocalyptic series Newtopia.
Upcoming Projects
In Newtopia, scheduled for release in 2025 on Coupang Play, Jisoo portrays Young-ju, a fresh engineering graduate navigating love and survival during a severe zombie outbreak in Seoul. This gripping narrative promises a blend of horror and romance, as Young-ju strives to reunite with her military boyfriend, Jae-yoon, played by Park Jeong-min.
Meanwhile, in Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint, Jisoo plays Lee Ji-hye, a determined warrior contending with monstrous adversaries in a fantastical world. This film adaptation of a popular web novel features Ahn Hyo-seop as Kim Dok-ja and Lee Min-ho as Yoo Jung-hyuk, promising action-packed sequences and dramatic confrontation.
Musical Milestones and Endorsements
Despite recent acting commitments, Jisoo’s musical journey remains remarkable. She made her solo debut on March 31, 2023, with the mini-album Me, which marked a significant achievement as she became the first Korean female solo artist to surpass one million pre-orders.
The lead single, “Flower,”was filmed in Los Angeles, showcasing Jisoo’s artistic evolution separate from her BLACKPINK identity. The album quickly gained traction, setting records with over 600 million streams on Spotify, solidifying her place as a leading figure in the K-pop industry.
Brand Ambassadorships
Jisoo has become a global ambassador for several high-profile brands, including Dior, Cartier, Alo Yoga, Self-Portrait, and Tommy Hilfiger. Her partnership with Cartier, which began in 2022, notably featured the Panthère collection and celebrated the brand’s 100th anniversary of the iconic Trinity ring in 2023. In 2024, she expanded her fashion footprint with Alo Yoga’s Spring campaign and became the face of Self-Portrait, in addition to headlining Tommy Hilfiger’s Fall 2024 campaign in New York City.
As Jisoo continues to break barriers in both music and acting, fans are left eagerly anticipating her next moves in the entertainment realm.
