BLACKPINK’s Jisoo is facing backlash over her acting in Omniscient Reader: The Prophet.
An online community post about a YouTube review of the series hit nearly 100,000 views. The YouTuber criticized Jisoo’s acting as the biggest source of viewer frustration.
Fans of the original web novel slammed her performance publicly.
“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.”
Another comment pointed out the poor audio quality of her lines.
“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 joined the criticism, saying there’s no improvement from Jisoo despite years in the industry.
“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.”
This controversy follows ongoing criticism since Jisoo expanded into acting, including backlash over her skills in Newtopia.
No official response has been made so far from Jisoo or her agency. The situation is still developing as more viewers weigh in.
