Despite the postponement, Jisoo also remains active in her flourishing acting career. Her upcoming projects include the highly anticipated Coupang Play drama “Newtopia,” which premieres on February 7, 2025. The upcoming series also recently shared new stills featuring the BLACKPINK member as a woman desperately trying to reunite with her boyfriend in the middle of a zombie outbreak.

She is also set to captivate audiences in the film “Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint” and the drama “Monthly Boyfriend.” Jisoo’s projects will also be released later in 2025. Fans have also expressed understanding and admiration for Jisoo’s thoughtful decision during this difficult time.
