Grateful for all your love: South Korean star Jisoo to Indian fans
Jisoo, globally recognised as a member of the popular South Korean K-pop group ‘Blackpink’, said she is grateful for the love she has received from Indian fans as well as worldwide and it motivates her to work harder. The singer is equally known for her work as an actor and has featured in popular K-dramas such as ‘Snowdrop’ and ‘Newtopia’. She now stars in Netflix’s new romantic comedy show ‘Boyfriend on Demand’.
Asked about her fan-following in India, where fans have grooved to Blackpink hits such as ‘DDU-DU DDU-DU’, ‘Kill This Love’ and ‘How You Like That’, Jisoo said she feels incredibly thankful.
“First of all, I can’t thank you enough. I’m so grateful for all of your love and support, the way you’re always watching me. That’s what really drives me to be even better and be harder at work. So, I hope that the love and support will continue and again thank you so much,” the 31-year-old told PTI in a virtual interview.
In ‘Boyfriend on Demand’, which imagines a world where users can subscribe to a virtual dating simulation service, Jisoo features alongside actor Seo In-guk of ‘Doom at Your Service’ and ‘Cafe Minamdang’ fame.
Seo, 38, thanked Indian fans and said he hopes to make them proud by doing varied work. “Thank you so much for giving me so much love. I am grateful that you are always expecting and looking forward to and loving everything that I put out there, no matter what project it is. As Jisoo said, I think it’s really thanks to all of that love and support that we’re able to enjoy what we do and be happy doing what we do. I’m always excited for the fans to see what we have in store. I hope that you will continue to show us a lot of love and support. I hope I can repay you with love through many different projects to come,” she said.
‘Boyfriend on Demand’ features Jisoo as Seo Mi-rae, an exhausted webtoon producer who longs for a second chance at love in virtual reality. She receives a ‘Monthly Boyfriend’ device by chance and when she enters this virtual reality, she encounters unrealistically perfect boyfriends, awakening her dormant desires for romance.
