Black Pink Jisoo said, "I hope I can hear that I met the right character for me," due to concerns about the "acting controversy" directed at her.

On the morning of the 26th, a production briefing session for Netflix's "Monthly Boyfriend" was held at the JW Dongdaemun Marriott Hotel in Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul. Director Ji-soo, Seo In-guk and Jungsik Kim attended the event.

"Monthly Boyfriend" is a romantic comedy in which webtoon PD Mirae (Ji-Soo), who is tired of real life, subscribes to and experiences love through virtual love simulation. With the unique setting of "Love Subscription in the Virtual World" foreshadowing excitement on the realistic daily life of office workers that we can all sympathize with, attention is focusing on the meeting between Jisoo and Seo In-guk, a "chemist" who will showcase "stick character."

Ji-Soo, who has tried acting by appearing in dramas such as "Snow Gang-hwa," "Utopia," and "Omniscient Reader's View." He played the lead role in various works, but his disappointing acting skills were controversial every time.

When asked what kind of efforts she made to overcome this disappointing acting ability and show her good performance, Ji-soo said, "Since I played various roles, I also met with the director and talked a lot so that I could show better performances this time," adding, "Since I play a character of my age, I wondered if there was a way to act like a suit for me." I hope I can hear that I met the right character (for me) while watching "Monthly Boyfriend" this time.

In response, director Jungsik Kim said, "Ji-Soo really put in a lot of effort and pulled off various settings and characters well. There is also a future of growing into a character in the drama, but you can also see the growth of actress Ji-Soo. Hard work beat talent, rather than talent," he added.

Meanwhile, "Monthly Boyfriend" will be released simultaneously around the world on March 6.
