BLACKPINK's Jisoo is reported to be returning to the small screen as an actress in a zombie-themed Korean drama entitled " Influenza ". On Thursday August 31, 2023, news broke that reported that Jisoo would be starring alongside actor Park Jung Min. However, this sparked a division of opinion among Korean netizens.
“Influenza” is based on the novel of the same title and is set in a busy airport building in Seoul during a zombie outbreak. The story centers on an unexpected encounter between a soldier and his ex-girlfriend amidst the chaos of a zombie pandemic.
The announcement of Jisoo's joining the series quickly became a trending topic in Korea, generating various responses from fans and netizens. Although many fans are looking forward to Jisoo's return to the small screen as an actress, some people question Jisoo's readiness to play the crucial role of the female lead.
“ I like Jisoo, but her voice doesn't match her acting. I hope he trains more to improve. I don't want to see him criticized, " wrote one netizen as quoted from KBIZoom on Friday September 1, 2023. “ With Jisoo's acting, how did she get the main role? " said another netizen
" Can't Jisoo keep singing? another netizen chimed in. " I don't think Jisoo is a great actress, but there are too many rude comments, " wrote one netizen. “ Please don't ruin the project by giving roles to people who can't act. If other actors do well, Jisoo's shortcomings in acting become more obvious, " wrote another netizen.
Jisoo made her acting debut through the Korean drama "Snowdrop" in 2021, and starred opposite actor Jung Hae In. Jisoo's acting debut in the drama received mixed responses. Although international fans have been tolerant of her debut performance and found it good, some Korean viewers have suggested her to improve.
Korean netizens mentioned concerns about Jisoo's pronunciation, delivery, and expressions when acting. Some people also think that Jisoo is better suited to lighter roles in romantic dramas, while others believe that taking on challenging projects can help her grow as an actress.
Despite the differences of opinion, it should be noted that Jisoo has earned recognition from entertainment industry professionals. The BLACKPINK member received the Best New Actress award at the Ddu Korean Drama Awards in early 2022, followed by the Outstanding Actress award at the 2022 Seoul International Drama Awards in September of the same year.
