Jisoo appeared as a special guest in the online program Hyell's Club hosted by Hyeri. Here, she joined her co-star Seo In-guk to promote her new movie Boyfriend on Demand.
In the conversation, Jisoo shared memorable behind-the-scenes memories during the filming process. A detail that attracted the audience's attention was the story about the filming day of the film crew.
According to the female artist, many members of the crew, including the director, burst into tears when completing the final scene. However, she did not have the same feelings as everyone else.
Jisoo recounted: "The directors cried a lot so I remember very clearly comforting them, like everyone was working very hard. But I didn't cry. I tried to think a lot about my feelings that day.
The female singer said that she even tried to "deepen emotions" to understand why people were sad in the moment of saying goodbye to the film crew, but she herself did not feel that way. Instead, she said she was quite excited and actively invited everyone to take souvenir photos.
After this share spread on Korean social networks, many netizens expressed criticism. Some comments said that Jisoo's statement showed that she was not really immersed in the project or lacked emotion in acting work.
Some harsh opinions wrote that not feeling emotional on the final filming day may reflect the actress's level of attachment to the film. Some even linked this to previous controversies about her acting ability.
However, besides the criticisms, many fans also spoke out to defend the female idol. They believe that each person has a different way of expressing emotions and not crying does not mean not cherishing the project.
In Boyfriend on Demand, Jisoo plays Mirae - a webtoon producer who enters the virtual reality dating simulation world to find love and discover herself.
Previously, Jisoo participated in acting in the TV series Snowdrop and projects such as Newtopia or the movie Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy. However, her acting ability still often becomes a topic of debate in the audience community.
