BLACKPINK's Jisoo sports drawn-on beard in comedic YouTube appearance

Appearing as "Jijiri" alongside comedian Yang Se-chan on the SsookSsook YouTube channel on the 13th, BLACKPINK's Jisoo surprised fans by wearing beard makeup while participating in a mukbang and food challenges.

BLACKPINK's Jisoo surprised fans by appearing on YouTube with a bold look, featuring a beard drawn on her face. Departing from her glamorous image as a member of a global girl group, she embraced eccentric makeup and displayed her characteristic witty humor. Appearing alongside comedian Yang Se-chan, she showcased unexpected variety skills while enjoying a "mukbang" featuring foods ranging from chicken to dumplings.

On the 13th, a video titled "Jijiri-ssi, this is a serious case of Mojiri addiction" was released on the YouTube channel SsookSsook. To match the channel's unique and quirky concept, Jisoo appeared under the name "Jijiri" with a beard drawn on her face, presenting a visual entirely different from the sophisticated and glamorous image she usually shows on stage.

Co-star Yang Se-chan also transformed into a "Mojiri" character to match Jisoo's persona. When Yang Se-chan requested a greeting, Jisoo nonchalantly introduced herself, saying, "I am Jijiri." The two quickly settled into their roles as "Mojiri siblings," eating various foods such as chicken and dumplings while engaging in pleasant conversation.

Jisoo drew laughter by expressing significant satisfaction with her beard makeup. Describing it as her "dream beard," she appeared to enjoy her unconventional appearance. During the meal, when the makeup began to smudge, she showed her dedication by redrawing it herself. Her sincere commitment to the makeup fit the quirky atmosphere of the channel.

Beyond the food broadcast, she also attempted unique food challenges. Jisoo attempted "wakppu," a challenge involving crushing a croissant with her hands, but expressed disappointment, saying it felt "empty" when the task ended much faster than expected. She continued her eccentric charm by crushing a bell pepper prepared by Yang Se-chan. Her honest reactions to minor situations and constant playfulness added to the video's entertainment value.

The video garnered attention primarily for Jisoo's unexpected variety skills and bold transformation. For an artist who has gained global popularity through unrivaled visuals and performances on stage, the fact that she unhesitatingly joined the channel's specific speech style and role-playing while wearing a drawn-on beard provided a unique spectacle. The quirky chemistry she created with Yang Se-chan as "Mojiri siblings" also provided special enjoyment to fans.

Jisoo is continuing her activities following the release of "ADDICTED," the second pre-release track from her first full-length solo album, on October 30. By meeting fans with a friendly and cheerful charm that differs from the charisma she shows through her music, she is revealing a multifaceted presence even outside of the stage.
