On April 22, Jisoo (Blackpink) appeared at Incheon International Airport (Korea) to go to Paris (France). Amidst the noise surrounding her brother that had not subsided, the female singer continued her scheduled activities abroad.
Although previously, Korean media reported that Jisoo's airport fashion photoshoot for this trip was canceled for personal reasons, she still departed on schedule.
Jisoo appeared in simple everyday clothes including jeans and a wide t-shirt, combined with a baseball cap. When greeting fans and reporters at the airport, she bowed 90 degrees, interacted with her eyes and waved her hand before entering the departure area.
Korean media said that Jisoo appeared quite calm in the face of the surrounding controversy.
The departure to France in the context of the widespread noise related to her brother has made all of Jisoo's movements noticed and scrutinized.
Previously, news appeared that a man about 30 years old, identified as a family member of the famous female idol, had been arrested on charges of sexually assaulting a female streamer. After that, news quickly spread that this person was Jisoo's brother, pushing the matter even higher.
In addition, there are also accusations from a person claiming to be his wife, claiming that this man had domestic violence, further escalating the controversy.
In response, Jisoo's management company, BLISSOO, denied any involvement, affirming that the speculations and information circulating online about the relationship between her and her brother are "untrue".
According to the plan, Jisoo is expected to attend the 9th Cannes International Film Festival on April 23, where she will receive the Madame Figaro Rising Star award.
This award is given to actors who are attracting global attention and have the potential to become prominent faces of the international television industry.
The artistic director of the film festival - Albin Lewi - said that Jisoo's multi-disciplinary artistic journey and global influence are the reasons why the organizers chose her for this award. He also announced that this will be one of the most notable highlights of this year's film festival season.
