BLACKPINK's Jisoo won the Rising Star Award at the Cannes International Series Festival. On the 23rd (local time), she attended the opening ceremony of the 9th Cannes International Series Festival held in Cannes, France. That day, she appeared on the pink carpet in a light pink dress, attracting attention with special fan service by signing autographs and taking photos with fans. Afterward, Jisoo received the Madame Figaro Rising Star Award, presented by the French media 'Madame FIGARO'. This award is known for being given to individuals who exert unique influence in the industry. 'Madame FIGARO' introduced Jisoo, stating, 'Jisoo, who has expanded her activities from singer to actress, is already highly regarded as a promising actress.' When she took the stage at the award ceremony, she held the trophy close and expressed her gratitude in French, saying 'Merci beaucoup,' delivering warm feelings to local fans. Prior to this, the Cannes International Series Festival evaluated, 'Jisoo has solidified her status as a global pop icon through the success of her world tour and numerous hit songs.' They also emphasized that she has over 80 million Instagram followers and exerts significant influence in various fields beyond music. Recently, reports surfaced that Mr. A, the brother of a member of a famous girl group, was arrested on the spot for sexual harassment of a female BJ (streamer) and is under police investigation. It was revealed that Mr. A is Jisoo's real brother. In response, Jisoo's legal representative stated on the 20th, 'This matter is completely unrelated to the artist and BLISSOO, and the content regarding this is false.' They clarified, 'The artist began her trainee life at a young age and has been independent for a long time, living away from her family, so she cannot recognize or be involved in the private matters of the person in question. Furthermore, it is made clear that the person in question currently has no legal or managerial relationship with BLISSOO.'
