BLACKPINK’s Jisoo is reportedly being considered for the lead role in the upcoming Korean drama, Monthly Boyfriend.

According to a report by OSEN, the renowned K-pop idol is currently reviewing the offer to star in the series.

"We have received the proposal and are currently reviewing it," BLISSOO, Jisoo's management agency, confirmed in a statement. Should Jisoo accept the role, it will mark her return to K-dramas following her 2021 debut in Snowdrop.

A Packed Schedule Awaits Jisoo in 2025

The year 2025 is shaping up to be incredibly busy for Jisoo, with several film and television projects lined up. Apart from Monthly Boyfriend, she has already committed to another K-drama titled Newtopia, slated to air next year.

In Newtopia, Jisoo is set to portray the character Kang Young-joo. This will add to her growing list of acting credits, further cementing her as a versatile talent beyond her musical career.

Jisoo’s film endeavors are equally impressive. She is set to star in the highly anticipated movie adaptation of the popular web novel Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint. Scheduled for a 2025 release, the film will feature Jisoo alongside prominent actors Ahn Hyo-seop and Lee Min-hoo.

In this apocalyptic fantasy, Jisoo has been offered the role of Lee Ji-hye, a student character intricately connected with Yoo Jong-hyuk, portrayed by Lee Min-hoo.

From Cameos to Leading Roles: Jisoo's Acting Journey

Jisoo’s venture into acting began with small cameos, where she often played herself. Her first appearance was in The Producers (2015), followed by a role in Part-Time Idol (2017).

In 2019, she took on a more significant cameo role as Sae Na-rae in the series Arthdal Chronicles. Additionally, she appeared as a fairy in the 2022 film Dr. Cheon and Lost Talisman. These smaller roles allowed Jisoo to hone her acting skills, leading to her breakout performance in Snowdrop.

Snowdrop marked Jisoo’s first major acting role, where she starred opposite Jung Hae-in in the romantic drama.

The series, which aired in late 2021 and concluded in early 2022, was a significant milestone in Jisoo’s acting career, proving her capability to carry a show as the leading lady.

The upcoming film Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint is one of the most awaited releases in the K-drama and film community.

Based on a web novel by the same name, written by the duo Sing Shong, the story is divided into five volumes, each filled with episodic adventures and epilogues. The narrative follows Kim Dok-ja, whose world mysteriously transforms into the novel he is reading.

Jisoo's character, Lee Ji-hye, plays a pivotal role in this story, which intertwines her fate with that of the main character, Yoo Jong-hyuk.
