Award-Winning Director Park Chan Wook Gains Attention For Comments About BLACKPINK Jisoo’s Cameo In “Dr. Cheon And Lost Talisman”
Since debuting, BLACKPINK‘s Jisoo has always managed to set the hearts of netizens on fire with her beautiful visuals and unreal aura.
Jisoo recently flexed her acting skills once again after making a surprising cameo as a fairy in the upcoming movie Dr. Cheon and Lost Talisman.
Well, it seems like it wasn’t just the media and netizens who were impressed with Jisoo, and one person gaining attention for his reaction is director Park Chan Woo.
He is the director behind some of the most-loved projects, including Decision to Leave and The Handmaiden.
In a recent press conference, Park Chan Woo spoke about watching the new film. Of course, considering her cameo was announced on the day of the special premiere, it wasn’t surprising that he was shocked.
And the special appearance…I was shocked. You all watched it, so it’s not a surprise. I didn’t recognize her at first, and I didn’t even think that she would appear as I watched it without any prior information.
— Park Chan Wook
Considering it was a surprise, the director was honest when he explained that he thought a minor actor would take on the small role. Yet, his reactions when seeing Jisoo on the stage were truly relatable.
And since it’s a small role, I thought a minor actor would take on the role. But while watching, I thought, ‘Was there such a beautiful minor actor?’ and was shocked for a second.
— Park Chan Wook
When the clip was shared, it quickly gained attention from netizens as they couldn’t get over the fact that top directors couldn’t stop gushing about Jisoo and her acting. From starring in a top K-Drama as the lead to her movie debut, Jisoo is grabbing the attention of some of the top directors in Korea.

director of 'The Handmaiden' and 'Decision to Leave' (to give a few examples), watched Jisoo and wondered how there was such a beautiful actress and honestly, fck YG because why have they been hiding such a beautiful actress with impeccable acting skills? That's literally a crime
