Recently, a post on the online community Pann Nate (Korea) about the video reviewing the movie "Omniscient Reader: The Prophet" by a YouTuber specializing in film content, attracted more than 100,000 views and hundreds of comments.
This YouTuber criticized Jisoo (Blackpink)'s acting in the work, emphasizing that the actress did not improve her acting ability despite participating in many films in the past 4 years.
"What made fans of the original novel angry was nothing else, but Jisoo's acting. She acted so badly. She is also old, around 30 years old and past school uniform wearing age. Given age, this is uncomfortable.
It seems that they only use her face as the main tool. Can this be called a professional actor?" - YouTuber was upset.
The post received a lot of approval from Korean audiences. One comment reads: This is a YouTuber who has repeatedly defended Jisoos acting, as she was a rookie at first. But now this person is explosive, I'm probably too upset with Jisoo not improving at all."
Another comment said: "Fans are too affectionate with her, so it is getting more and more serious. Does Jisoo know that she is noticed for more luxurious outfits than for her voice?
However, there are also controversies about how this YouTuber mentioned Jisoo's age issue, saying that this is an "unfortunate" comment and is aimed at as a personal attack.
On the other hand, the audience analyzed that Jisoo's acting ability was not the only reason why the film "All Readers" was criticized. Most fans of the original novel were not satisfied because the film was adapted with many contents, settings and built characters different from the original, less attractive.
Although Lee Ji Hye (played by Jisoo) is a main character in the original novel, in the adaptation by director Kim Byung Woo, Ji Hye was significantly cut from the screen and only appeared for a few short moments on screen.
Therefore, there are opinions that Jisoo should not be criticized so much when she only plays a small role with a short duration.
In a speculative comment, YouTuber criticized Jisoo even worse for just a "trick" of using her name to attract attention.
Jisoo first appeared on screen as a guest in the movie "The Producers". In 2021, Jisoo officially debuted as an actress, she played the female lead in the TV series "Snowdrop".
In 2025, Jisoo will continue to star in the online drama "Newtopia" and appear in the movie "All Readers".
As a Kpop idol who has entered the acting profession, Jisoo's acting ability is always a controversial topic.
