YouTuber’s Review of Blackpink Jisoo’s Acting Sparks Strong Reactions

BLACKPINK’s Jisoo is facing backlash over her acting skills in Omniscient Reader: The Prophet.

Online viewers and fans of the original work have heavily criticized her performance. A popular movie YouTuber’s review pointed out that many were frustrated with Jisoo’s acting, noting her lack of progress despite years in the industry.

Fans slammed her ability to carry a school uniform role at her age, saying she looks “so old, like in her 30s.” They also complained about her audibility on screen.

“Fans of the original work are angry because of her acting. She is just so bad at it. She’s so old, like in her 30s. She’s past the age to be wearing a school uniform.”

“And her tongue is fine. And her limbs, too? But how come I cannot hear her? Is this her debut project? Then, shouldn’t she have improved somehow? It just seems like they are using her face as the primary tool. Can you really call her a pro?”

Korean netizens agreed that Jisoo should have shown clear improvement by now.

“This YouTuber has consistently defended Jisoo’s acting first because she was a beginner. Then, because she was still a rookie, and now they’re frustrated because of her lack of progress.”

“Her fans are so obsessed with praising her. I wonder if Jisoo knows she’s more talked about for her luxury looks than for her singing.”

“Even if the fans don’t admit it, everyone else knows.”

“The YouTuber just blurted everything out, but I can somewhat understand what they mean.”

The situation is gaining traction as Omniscient Reader’s director’s comments on her acting have also sparked fury online. The controversy shows no signs of cooling down.
