Born in Gunpo, Gyeonggi, South Korea on January 3, 1995, Kim Jisoo (김지수) is a member of the South Korean girl group BLACKPINK, which debuted in 2016 under the talent agency YG Entertainment.

Jisoo became a trainee of YG Entertainment in July 2011 after she auditioned for the company with the song “The Two Of Us” by Lee Eun Mi. She was first revealed to the public in 2012 through a teaser called “Who’s That Girl?”, but the group’s debut got delayed. Four years later, on June 15, 2016, Jisoo was confirmed as the third member of BLACKPINK, where her main role is being one of the lead vocalists.

During her pre-debut days, Jisoo appeared in many TV commercials, campaigns, and music videos, including the ones for “Spoiler” and “Happen Ending” by EPIK HIGH, and “I’m Different” by HI SUHYUN. She also had a cameo on the TV drama The Producers.

Jisoo was also an MC of a South Korean music program, Inkigayo, along with Jin Young of GOT7 and Do Young of NCT 127 from 2017 until 2018.

On March 5th, 2023, Jisoo’s most-awaited debut was announced to release at the end of the month. Her single album ME sold over 1M pre-orders, becoming the first K-pop female artist to achieve that. The title track “FLOWER” was shot on cinema film in the USA, becoming YG’s most expensive video to produce.
