Blackpink’s Jisoo went from K-pop mystery girl to Dior and Cartier endorsements, and now a lead role in K-drama Snowdrop – so what does she like to spend her money on?
In that time, she’s also accumulated over US$8 million. So just how does Jisoo make money, and what does she like to spend it on?
She comes from a wealthy family
While Jisoo’s relatives are frequently talked about for their appearance (her older sister, Ji-yoon, wowed fans when she appeared in Trio’s Childcare Challenge), others speculate that her family is well-off too.
Born in Seoul, Jisoo’s dreams of becoming a singer and actor were supported by her father, who enrolled her at the School of Performing Arts, which according to Channel Korea charges up to US$10,000 in tuition fees per year.
She starred in music videos and commercials before her debut
Before she became a star, Jisoo profited from her looks and talent by appearing in music videos by K-pop stars like Epik High and Hi Suhyun. She was also tapped by the likes of brands like LG, Nikon and Samsonite to star in several of their ads.
She even had a brief cameo in the 2015 K-drama The Producers, where she acted alongside IU and other guest stars Sandara Park and Winner’s Kang Seung-yoon.
She now has luxury endorsements with Dior Beauty and Cartier
Jisoo first caught the attention of Dior through their cosmetics brand, Dior Beauty. Soon after, she was selected to be a muse for Dior, modelling for their autumn/winter 2020 collection.
