In the competitive world of South Korean entertainment, idols often face extreme pressure to meet industry beauty standards. However, BLACKPINK’s Jisoo has made it clear that she won’t conform to these unrealistic expectations.
In a recent teaser for the upcoming episode of TEO’s YouTube show, Salon Drip 2, the 30-year-old idol recalled a pivotal moment during her trainee days at YG Entertainment.
The label asked her to lose weight, but Jisoo, known for her confidence and free spirit, refused to follow their request. She shared, “The company would be like, lose some weight. And I would say that I liked my chubby self.”
This candid revelation immediately caught the attention of fans, who praised Jisoo for standing up for herself. One fan expressed admiration, saying, “A 16-year-old being told to lose weight by grown men in positions of power and having enough maturity, self-love and mental strength to refuse is actually INSANE.”
Another fan celebrated Jisoo’s personality, calling her “mature, elegant, classy, wise, quirky, cute, funny,” and a role model for many.
This moment of self-empowerment is just one example of Jisoo’s ongoing journey to stay true to herself, a trait many of her fans admire deeply.
On the Work Front
Jisoo is not just known for her confidence but also for her growing career. She will soon be starring in the new K-drama “Newtopia“ alongside Park Jeong Min, set to premiere on February 7, 2025. Additionally, her mini album “Amortage” is set for release on February 14, 2025.
Jisoo continues to inspire fans with both her career and her ability to set boundaries, showing that self-respect and confidence are key in the entertainment industry.
