Jisoo shares that she doesn't have to do much during BLACKPINK's English interviews thanks to Jennie, Lisa, and Rose

AKP STAFF

BLACKPINK's Jisoo recently appeared on Park Myung Soo's YouTube show and talked about being a global idol.

During the show, Jisoo talked about preparing for her first solo single album and shared, "I've released a solo album after 7 years. I was the last (in the group) to have a solo release. So the members who went solo before me, shared what was hard (about their solo), like 'Oh if you did this, it was hard.' Their insights made it easier and helped me better prepare for my solo debut."


Park Myung Soo then became curious about promoting globally as one of the most influential K-pop groups. He became curious if Jisoo speaks English since Jisoo has been traveling worldwide. He asked, "So you're pretty good speaking English now, right?" And Jisoo instantaneously replied, "Nope."

Jisoo explained that she doesn't have much to do for English interviews since Lisa, Rose, and Jennie all speak English fluently. She explained, "I just don't talk much." Jisoo explained she understands English but doesn't bother to be the one to speak. She elaborated, "Because we have members who are much better (at speaking English). So I don't really need to (talk)."


She continued to make Park Myung Soo and fans laugh when she gave tips on how to react when being overseas: put up two thumbs saying "Good," clap, and lift one thumb up while saying, "Perfect." She added to the laughter when she confessed that she uses Papago, a Korean translation app when she needs to order food at a restaurant.

Fans love Jisoo's lovable and honest personality and commented, "She's so honest," "She's so cute," "She's so pretty and I love her personality. She seems so down-to-earth and cool," "She's so awesome. I would feel stressed if the other members speak English but I'm the only one who doesn't but she's so cool with it," "I'm so envious of her personality," "She is just too cute," and "I love how honest she is."

Jisoo is so funny. I watched the show and she and Park Myung Soo had great chemistry.

So she doesn't stress herself to speak in a language that she's not familiar in because other member are. Weird that people use this as a a point to criticise her, while fans use it to prove she's a victim and being mistreated because she "doesn't get asked questions" during English interviews. I've never followed bp closely , but I followed jisoos media rounds this time due to her being on youngji's show, and I must say she seems like she's not the type to really hunger conventional clout and success like an idol would.

She literally said she prepared her solo because she feels like a lot of people have been waiting for her, and doesn't miss the stage after a performance as much as other celebrities do. She does her best if presented an opportunity, but she doesn't care about being better than anyone else and values her personal time. That seems like a pretty healthy mindset to me. She treats being an idol her job, not her whole life.


It's weird when something tragic happen everyone goes "kpop idols need to rest and prioritise their mental health more " but when and idol does just that, she's lazy and wasted time? Just because she let's other members talk more? When she's doing solo activities overseas she still speaks English herself just as any other korean celeb would (during dior shows and such)
