Netflix’s role supports Jisoo’s acting growth
The award follows Jisoo’s recent role in the Netflix series “Boyfriend on Demand,” which premiered in March 2026. In the series, she plays Seo Mi-rae, a webtoon producer dealing with burnout and a boring love life. She spices up her romantic interests with a virtual dating service, as she discovers true romance. The role added to her growing filmography and helped show a different side of her as a performer. Just like that, this recognition at Canneseries highlights her achievements as an actress with a solid career beyond music and idol life.
