Jisoo: From BLACKPINK to BLISSOO - A Journey of Music, Acting, and Entrepreneurship
In 2011, a young girl from Gunpo, a city near Seoul, took a chance and auditioned at YG Entertainment, a renowned South Korean agency. After years of training, she debuted as part of the popular K-pop group BLACKPINK, which played a significant role in the genre's global rise. Fast forward to 2024, and the same girl, now 31, decided to embark on a new journey by founding her own agency, BLISSOO, marking a new chapter in her career.
Jisoo, the talented singer and actress, embraced this change with humor and lightness, much like her character in the Netflix series "Boyfriend on Demand." Through her role as a webtoon producer navigating work pressures and a virtual reality dating app, Jisoo hopes to inspire others to embrace change and try new things, regardless of their profession or age.
Having been part of BLACKPINK, a group that achieved numerous milestones in the music industry, Jisoo has now ventured into solo music and acting. With her EP "AMORTAGE" and collaborations with artists like Zayn, she has showcased her versatility and talent. Her agency, BLISSOO, reflects her journey and image over the past decade, combining "bliss" with her name to symbolize the joy she brings to her fans and colleagues.
In her latest role as Seo Mi-rae in "Boyfriend on Demand," Jisoo portrays a character who juggles career ambitions and love in a virtual dating world. Drawing from her own experiences, Jisoo emphasizes the importance of finding a balance between work and personal life, a lesson she has learned over the years. As she continues to explore new opportunities in music and acting, Jisoo remains dedicated to showcasing different facets of her talent to her global audience.
Looking ahead to the future, Jisoo plans to release a full album and create more audiovisual content, with hopes of visiting countries like Brazil to connect with her passionate fans. With a growing international fanbase and a global deal with Warner Records, Jisoo is poised to reach new heights in her solo career, all while staying true to her roots and continuing to inspire others with her music and acting endeavors.
