BLACKPINK’s Jisoo Shares How She Deals With English Interviews

Jisoo is proving yet again that she is a truly clever girl. The “Flower” singer revealed how she skillfully gets through BLACKPINK’s English interviews without breaking a sweat.

Jisoo Reveals Why BLACKPINK’s English-Language Interviews Are Easy For Her

Jisoo is currently promoting her debut solo single and touring with BLACKPINK on their BORN PINK World Tour. That means a lot of international promotions and multiple English-language interviews for the girl group.

But does this mean Kim Ji-soo has been practicing her English all this time? The “Snowdrop” star answered the question on Park Myung Soo’s YouTube show. When the host asked if she speaks English well these days, Jisoo simply said, “Nope!”

She explained that she chooses not to speak much but Park Myung Soo insisted that she could but Jisoo stated that she doesn’t “care to speak.”

There’s a great explanation for why Kim Ji-soo doesn’t think it’s necessary for her to speak up. She pointed out that BLACKPINK has other members who are fluent in English.

“We have members who are much better,” she said. “So I don’t really need to (talk).”

It’s a sensible and hilarious answer from Jisoo who is the only member of BLACKPINK who didn’t live overseas prior to their debut. Jennie studied in New Zealand while Rosé grew up in Australia. The group’s maknae Lisa was born and raised in Thailand and is fluent in Thai, Korean, and English.

With the other members handling the international interviews, Jisoo still gets to steal the show. She demonstrated how to act during interviews like giving the thumbs up and clapping along.

The BLACKPINK singer also proved how relatable she is by admitting that she uses the Korean translation app Papago when ordering food overseas.

Jisoo is promoting her solo single album “Me”. She is also touring with the rest of BLACKPINK on the BORN PINK World Tour which recently added encore shows in the US.

BLACKPINK Share Their Thoughts on Headlining Coachella 2023

BLACKPINK is returning to COACHELLA. The girl group will be the first K-pop act to headline the annual rock festival in California. It’s a huge milestone for Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa who are sharing their thoughts about their achievement.

BLACKPINK Discuss Headlining COACHELLA 2023

BLACKPINK will perform as the closing act on April 15 and 22 at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. They will be the first South Korean group to headline the event and Jennie told Billboard they feel “honored.”

“We’re so excited and honored to be able to return to Coachella as headliners,” the “Solo” singer said. “We had the best time in 2019 and can’t wait to experience the energy of the audience again. There are some nerves, but more than anything, we’re just ready to have fun.”

Headlining COACHELLA ‘Feels Absolutely Unreal’

Rosé still can’t believe it’s happening. The “Gone” singer claims, “It feels absolutely unreal.”

“I think performing for Coachella in 2019 was a moment that really woke us up as BLACKPINK—to be motivated, to dream on and dream big,” she added. “But we never expected anything as big as being the headliner of a festival we’ve all grown up admiring and hoping someday we could find ourselves in the crowd of.”

Jisoo laughed when she said, “It’s always so happy to meet BLINKs up close.”

“2019 Coachella was full of fascination and excitement, but we have no clue how 2023 Coachella will be. We try all the time to show a new side of ourselves for each stage to repay the love from BLINKs,” the “Flower” singer said. “It is an honor to perform as a headliner for Coachella festival; we want to show our improvement as BLACKPINK on stage — and will — so, stay tuned.”

Finally, Lisa stated that she is looking forward to having fun. “Our motto is to enjoy every stage and moment, ‘as if it’s the last,’ [by] interacting with the audience by energy and doing our best while performing,” she said. “We’re working hard on various performances for 2023 Coachella; look forward to it!”

BLACKPINK is currently on the BORN PINK World Tour. The girl group will perform as the main headliners on both Coachella festival weekends on April 15 and 22, 2023.
