BLACKPINK's Jisoo candidly shared her thoughts on past relationships.
On the 27th, the YouTube channel 'Harper's Bazaar Korea' released a video titled 'Career vs Love? Jisoo's Choice? #Let'sHearIt'.
In the video, Jisoo addressed various concerns sent by fans, offering realistic advice. Her views on relationships were particularly noteworthy.
When asked, 'Should I get back with an ex?', Jisoo firmly responded, "NO. I don't think it's possible. Breaking up wasn't easy, and it would be hard to change that feeling." She added, "Once I turn away, I don't look back. It would take a lot to make me reconsider."
Jisoo also shared her clear perspective on love, stating, "The important thing in love is not expecting something in return. Whether it's with a partner, friends, or parents, expecting something back can lead to feeling drained. It's important to appreciate and be grateful for the love you give."
She continued to offer practical advice on real-life concerns. To someone worried about losing a good salary or what they currently have, Jisoo said, "It's natural to be afraid. But fearing change can prevent you from reaching greater heights. Instead of worrying about losing what you have, it's better to quickly adapt your mindset when such situations arise." She added, "Rather than being afraid, try thinking, 'Better things are coming,' and enjoy the process."
Jisoo also revealed her personal stress-relief methods. "When I'm scared, I usually sleep. When I have a lot on my mind, I sleep, and when I wake up, my thoughts are simpler, making it easier to solve problems," she shared.
She elaborated on overcoming burnout, saying, "It's hard to change the work itself, so it's important to find hobbies or ways to relieve stress. I enjoy eating, sleeping, and watching cartoons. Having many things I like helps me get over burnout quickly."
She added, "Thinking about finishing work quickly to eat something delicious helps me endure tough times."
Jisoo was also honest about feeling unmotivated. "On days when I don't want to do anything, I just don't. I believe resting helps me do better next time," she said. "The rest time becomes energy for the future."
Jisoo emphasized the importance of small happiness, saying, "I find the greatest happiness in eating, and just knowing I have a few hours of free time at the end of the day makes me happy. I'm easily satisfied with small things and feel happiness simply."
Meanwhile, Jisoo publicly acknowledged her relationship with actor Ahn Bo-hyun in 2023, but they parted ways after about two months.
