BLACKPINK member Jisoo has come under fire for her performance in the latest K-Drama Boyfriend on Demand, with critics highlighting persistent weaknesses in her acting.
Reporters who previewed the first four episodes noted that Jisoo’s acting has shown little improvement since she began her career six years ago. According to an iMBC report, her vocal delivery remains muffled and slightly nasal, making it difficult for her to convey the natural rhythm of scenes. The report also cited struggles with the comedic timing required for romantic comedies, as well as a limited use of physical comedy, leaving her looks as the main redeeming factor on screen.
Netizens quickly shared their disappointment online, questioning why Jisoo had not made significant progress despite her years in acting. Many suggested she should reconsider pursuing acting roles, arguing that her performances take opportunities away from trained actors.
Comments from fans and viewers included:
- “If people are being positive toward you, shouldn’t you use that as motivation to work harder? Is this really the result after all these years?”
- “It’s already six years—she’s had multiple lead roles, yet the acting hasn’t improved.”
- “Her voice and delivery are still major barriers. She looks like Jisoo from BLACKPINK, not the character.”
This latest criticism continues the trend of heightened scrutiny faced by idols transitioning into acting, with Jisoo once again drawing attention for her on-screen performance rather than her role in the story.
