On March 27, BLACKPINK’s Jisoo appeared in a YouTube video titled “Career vs. Love? Jisoo’s Choice? #Let’sFeelIt” released on the channel “Harper’s BAZAAR Korea,” where he candidly shared his thoughts on relationships, life choices and personal values.
During the video, Jisoo responded to fans’ 고민 (concerns) in a calm and matter-of-fact manner, drawing particular attention for her firm stance on rekindling past relationships. When asked if it’s okay to get back together with an ex, she answered clearly, “No. I don’t think it’s a good idea. It’s not like you broke up easily, right? Transforming these feelings seems difficult.” He added, “Once I turn around, I don’t look back. It would take a lot of effort to make me turn around.”
His comments come to the fore following his past public relationship with Ahn Bo-hyun, which ended after about two months in 2023. While he hasn’t mentioned it directly, his perspective on breakups has attracted attention for its honesty and finality.
Jisoo also shared her philosophy on love, emphasizing a selfless mindset. He explained, “When it comes to love, not expecting anything in return is really important. The more you expect something in return, the more drained you feel.” He added that true happiness comes from appreciating the act of giving itself rather than focusing on reciprocity.
Beyond relationships, Jisoo offered practical advice on how to manage fear and uncertainty in life. Addressing concerns about losing a job or stable income, he said fear is natural but shouldn’t hold someone back. Instead, he encouraged people to adapt quickly and see change as an opportunity for something better.
He also revealed his personal methods for dealing with stress and burnout. Jisoo shared that when she feels overwhelmed, she prefers to sleep to reset her thoughts, explaining that rest helps simplify her mindset. When dealing with burnout, she focuses on small joys like eating, resting, and watching cartoons, emphasizing that having multiple sources of happiness helps her recover faster.
On days when she feels completely unmotivated, Jisoo takes a different approach: “I just don’t do anything. I think resting that day helps me do better later.” He emphasized that letting yourself rest without guilt can actually become a source of renewed energy.
Highlighting her outlook on life, Jisoo said she appreciates the small daily happiness, be it enjoying good food or simply having a few hours of personal time after a busy day. His grounded and relatable advice resonated with viewers, offering a glimpse into the mindset behind his calm and positive image.
Jisoo’s heartfelt reflections in this video not only shed light on her personal values, but also reinforce her reputation for sincerity, as fans continue to respond positively to her honest and thoughtful perspective on love and life.
