BLACKPINK Jisoo’s “Idol Boyfriend” Role in New K-Drama Generates Mixed Reactions

BLACKPINK’s Jisoo is facing controversy over the casting in her new Netflix show Boyfriend On Demand.
The buzz started as teasers dropped hinting at special guest stars. Fans were especially curious about who would play Jisoo’s “idol boyfriend.”
On February 19, the trailer and poster arrived, confirming a star-studded lineup. But the biggest shock? The “idol boyfriend” cameo is rumored to be none other than Jay Park.
Fans took to Twitter in disbelief. Some loved the surprise:
“¿JAY PARK CON JISOO? BYEEEE ” – @lovskpinks
Others couldn’t believe it and reacted negatively:
“I’d laugh at ur face if ud ever tell me jay park is one of jisoos love interest in a drama” – @elxsticgirl
“tf is jay park doing in a rom com w jisoo???? abt to hit the mommae?” – @elxsticgirl
Some called out Jay Park’s “problematic” past and wished for a different cameo instead:
“They could’ve gotten another Idol Boyfriend, seriously why him??” – @chartskimjisoo
“Iconic: The most controversial K-pop idol VS the idol with no controversy whatsoever, in the same drama. Help!” – @PortalKimJisoo_
“All the good kdrama male leads and then fuckass jay park” – @MINSSDIOR
Fans reminded everyone it’s just a quick cameo and not the main cast, urging focus on Jisoo and the show itself:
“If you don’t like a certain guy, please just scroll past and don’t give him attention. He’s only a cameo, not main cast. Let’s keep the focus on Jisoo and continue hyping up BOD. The teaser so goods, so why bring unnecessary negativity into something that’s meant to be enjoyed ” – @rysooyaaa
Boyfriend On Demand drops March 6 on Netflix. The cast also stars Seo In-guk alongside Jisoo.

Love is the last thing on Seo Mi-rae’s mind. But a virtual dating service sparks feelings — and maybe a real shot at romance.
