Netizens are buzzing about BLACKPINK Jisoo and her ventures into acting and music.

Critiques surrounding Jisoo's performance in 'Newtopia' have surfaced on an online forum, with one user suggesting that her strong visual appeal could better serve her in the music industry rather than pursuing acting.

The sentiment expressed reads:

"She's undeniably beautiful and popular.

In today's music scene, technical vocal prowess is not always essential. Investing in quality songs and promoting them might be a better fit...

Acting seems to be a misstep for her.

Her vocal delivery and diction are notably lacking.

Acting doesn't seem to come naturally to her at all...

Perhaps she should steer clear of acting in the future~"

Many top-rated comments echoed similar sentiments, with users concurring:

"Jisoo's acting prowess has ignited collective criticism across various online platforms. Even traditionally male-dominated forums, where Jisoo enjoys a positive reputation, are voicing predominantly negative reactions. The writing's on the wall—acting may not be her forte."

On the flip side, comparisons to other idols-turned-actors like Hyeri, Seolhyun, and Cha Eun Woo were drawn, with viewers expressing disappointment in their early performances. Some noted that Hyeri and Seolhyun started in smaller roles, while Cha Eunwoo exhibited growth over time, displaying more natural line delivery and less robotic delivery.

Curiosity arose among netizens as to why Jisoo leaped into major lead roles at the start of her acting journey, unlike her counterparts, Hyeri and Seolhyun.

Additionally, some netizens criticized the detrimental effect of anti-fans leveraging this situation to fuel negative campaigns against Jisoo, aiming to spark a trend of mass censure.

Further reactions include:

"Improving her vocal projection is imperative."

"From the idol actors I've witnessed, Cha Eun Woo and Jisoo are the most deficient in their craft... Although Hyeri and Seolhyun had lackluster beginnings, they commenced with supporting roles. Why was Jisoo thrust into a leading role right off the bat? LOL."

"This critique of Jisoo's acting seems suspiciously orchestrated by a fandom troll. LOL. The archaic writing style + excessive paragraph breaks + suspiciously high upvotes on a post with minimal views = a hallmark strategy of trolls attempting to sow negative narratives against rival idols."

"Even Cha Eun Woo faced 'robotic' criticism initially, but through persistence, he showed improvement."

"Moreover, industry production houses must be held accountable for casting idols with subpar acting skills. Idols seize these opportunities for fame and financial advancement—why turn them down? Moral qualms? Even those with tarnished reputations resurface in the industry; conscience is a sparse commodity. The crux lies in production companies sacrificing quality for lucrative overseas deals. These actors bear the brunt of backlash while these entities escape scrutiny, perpetuating a damaging cycle."

"Advocating for a legislation to bar idols from acting."

"Frankly, even to international viewers, her deficient acting is evident. While I struggle to assess acting in foreign languages, stiffness and artificiality are discernible even in Hollywood or Japanese productions."

"She might have been shielded among the talent within BLACKPINK, but her foray into acting has laid bare her shortcomings."

"During 'Snowdrop,' male lead devotees rallied to defend the drama, shielding her acting to an extent. However, the current scrutiny appears insurmountable."

"Despite the critical tone of this discourse, the overwhelming upvotes are quite telling. Typically, fans rally to her defense, but even they acknowledge the severity of the situation."

"Her wealth thus far is largely attributed to her gifted and stage-savvy group members. Perhaps it's time for her to bask in her fortune... Jisoo, acting may not be your calling."

"Yet, her voice... leaves me speechless. Has it always been this way? I'm genuinely astounded."

"This furor is over a mere drama, not even a public broadcast, yet the backlash is towering. It stems from both curiosity and sincere critique—her performance truly lacks redemption... She displays ambition—acting, solo endeavors—yet the determination to enhance her skills seems absent."

"Jisoo's vocal shortcomings have been highlighted since her debut, is the realization only dawning now?"

"Be it rationalization or self-assurance, she must undertake rigorous vocal training or acting refinement... Just as her detractors blindly lambaste her, fans blindly extol her. Should she continue relying on partisan praise, sustaining a solo career may prove daunting."

"This escalation resembles a concerted persecution."

"It prompts contemplation... does she truly deserve this degree of reproach?"

"Jisoo must be grappling with emotional distress."

"She lacks a flair for acting. Every facet—gestures, enunciation, expression—feels amiss."

"She's akin to a slightly more attractive Ji Yea Eun. Jisoo, variety shows may suit you better."

"Nana, Kwon Nara, Jung Chaeyeon, Yeonwoo, Seolhyun, Jung Eunji, Han Sunhwa... a cohort of idol-turn-actresses rival Jisoo's allure but exude more natural performances. The convenient excuse of 'weak acting due to idol status' no longer holds water."

"Acting may not have been her lane, yet she delved into it, inviting this volley of criticism."

"Even if relegated to a supporting role, her portrayal may have fallen short. However, headlining from the outset naturally evoked ire... To truly hone her craft, starting as a supporting character might have been the wiser choice."

"Observing Jisoo underscores the pivotal role of voice, articulation, and organic expressions in acting... On variety shows, her demeanor and expressions appear effortless, evoking no disquiet. However, the camera or stage unravel a forced performance, marred further by inaccurate pronunciation."

"Remarkably, her reputation as a subpar actress is so entrenched that I'm disinclined to view her projects. Had she plunged into supporting roles..."

"Outcry correlates with popularity."

"An inkling of self-awareness might nudge her towards modest roles, steering clear of lead positions upfront."

"Amidst questionable acting acumen, other criticized actors still exhibited competence in comparison. LOL. Jisoo unquestionably trails behind. Perhaps I could surpass her in acting."

"I typically overlook subpar acting, yet she triggered unprecedented cringing. Not even IU or Hyeri elicited such a reaction, often deemed subpar in acting spheres."

"A glimpse of the Reel jolted me... How was that approved...?"

"Even fervent admirers find it arduous to defend Jisoo's acting."

"Commence with supporting roles for a more natural acclimatization."

On another front, Jisoo gears up for the release of her solo mini album, 'AMORTAGE.'
