Here is a condensed snapshot of Jisoo’s acting milestones.
What is Jisoo’s most famous role?
Snowdrop (2021-2022) as Eun Young-ro
- Jisoo’s first leading role was in the JTBC drama Snowdrop, where she portrayed Eun Young-ro, a university student caught in a political conspiracy during the 1987 democratic movement (Wikipedia – Jisoo filmography).
- The 16-episode series aired from December 2021 to January 2022 and was also distributed on Disney+ in select markets (Wikipedia – Snowdrop distribution).
- Her performance earned her the Seoul International Drama Award for Outstanding Korean Actress (Wikipedia – Jisoo awards).
Jisoo’s debut lead role earned her a major Korean acting award but also drew mixed audience reviews. K-drama fans who prioritize acting depth over idol star power may find her performance deliberate but still developing.
Impact of her debut lead role
Taking on the politically charged role of Eun Young-ro — a character who hides a wounded student activist and later confronts secret police — positioned Jisoo as more than a pop star cameo. The series sparked controversy over its historical framing, but the acting debut itself established her as a bankable Korean drama lead.
The implication: Snowdrop proved that an idol could anchor a high-budget, 16-episode drama with political weight — and win an industry award for it.
What is the Netflix series with Jisoo?
Snowdrop availability on streaming platforms
- Snowdrop was primarily a JTBC broadcast; its international streaming was handled by Disney+ — not Netflix (Wikipedia – Snowdrop distribution).
Newtopia (2025) distribution
- Newtopia, Jisoo’s 2025 zombie-comedy series, aired exclusively on Coupang Play in South Korea and on Paramount+ in some international regions (Wikipedia – Jisoo filmography).
- As of early 2026, Jisoo’s only confirmed Netflix project is Boyfriend on Demand (2026).
As of early 2026, Jisoo has not starred in a Netflix-exclusive series — her upcoming Boyfriend on Demand will be that first entry.
For global fans searching “Jisoo Netflix drama” — that answer is currently Boyfriend on Demand (2026). Neither Snowdrop nor Newtopia are Netflix originals, which affects their discoverability in regions where Netflix dominates K-drama streaming.
The catch: Jisoo’s only Netflix platform play is still ahead, making 2026 a pivotal year for her global streaming presence.
Why did Jisoo stop acting?
Addressing the misconception: Jisoo has not stopped acting
- Jisoo continues to take acting roles: she starred in Newtopia in 2025 and Boyfriend on Demand is confirmed for 2026 (Wikipedia – Jisoo acting credits).
- The confusion likely arises from the male actor Ji Soo (born Kim Ji-soo), who went on hiatus after personal scandals and has no connection to BLACKPINK (Wikipedia – Ji Soo actor).
Jisoo has not stopped acting — she simply has a years-long gap between Snowdrop (2022) and Newtopia (2025). That three-year pause coincides with BLACKPINK’s world tour and solo activities, not an acting retirement.
Her recent projects: Newtopia (2025), Boyfriend on Demand (2026)
In 2025, Jisoo appeared in Newtopia, an 8-episode zombie comedy that recorded the highest cumulative viewership in Coupang Play series history within 10 days of its February launch (IMDb – Jisoo Newtopia viewership data). She also made her feature film debut in July 2025 with Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy, an action fantasy adaptation of the popular webtoon (Wikipedia – Jisoo filmography). Her next drama, Boyfriend on Demand, is set for a March 2026 release on Netflix, consisting of 10 episodes (Variety – Jisoo Canneseries Rising Star award).
The pattern: Jisoo’s career shows a deliberate shift toward higher-profile projects — from cable drama to Coupang Play original to Netflix lead — with a dual track in both series and film.
What are Jisoo’s upcoming movies and TV shows?
Boyfriend on Demand (2026)
- Jisoo will star as Seo Mi-rae, a webtoon producer who enters a virtual dating simulation, in this 10-episode Netflix romantic comedy (Variety – Jisoo Boyfriend on Demand role).
- The series debuted on Netflix in March 2026 (Variety – Jisoo Canneseries feature).
Future projects not yet announced
- As of early 2026, no additional acting projects beyond Boyfriend on Demand have been confirmed by Jisoo’s agency, BLISSOO.
“Jisoo will star in the Netflix romantic comedy series ‘Boyfriend on Demand’ (2026), portraying Seo Mi-rae, a webtoon producer in a virtual dating simulation.”
Variety – Entertainment industry magazine
The implication: For fans worried about Jisoo’s acting future, the 2026 Netflix rom-com signals a clear studio investment in her as a leading actress — not a one-off idol cameo.
What movies has Jisoo appeared in?
Cameo in The Producers (2015)
- Jisoo’s first on-screen appearance was a cameo in episode 4 of the KBS2 drama The Producers in 2015 (Wikipedia – Jisoo acting debut).
Lead in Snowdrop (2021-2022)
- Her first leading role came six years later in the JTBC drama Snowdrop (Wikipedia – Snowdrop series).
Lead in Newtopia (2025)
- Jisoo returned to series acting in the 8-episode zombie comedy Newtopia, which aired from February to March 2025 on Coupang Play (Wikipedia – Jisoo Newtopia casting).
Film debut: Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy (2025)
- Jisoo made her big-screen debut in the action fantasy film Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy, released July 23, 2025, portraying Lee Ji-hye alongside Lee Min-ho (Wikipedia – Jisoo film debut).
- The film is adapted from Sing Shong’s webtoon Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint, which Jisoo is a known fan of (Wikipedia – Jisoo film adaptation details).
Jisoo’s filmography includes only TV series and one feature film — no standalone theatrical movies aside from Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy. The distinction matters because online searches for “Jisoo movies” often return lists that mistakenly include the male actor Ji Soo’s film credits (such as Scarlet Innocence, 2014) or unreleased projects.
“Jisoo made her big-screen debut in the action fantasy film ‘Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy’, released July 23, 2025, portraying Lee Ji-hye.”
