BLACKPINK’s Jisoo Revealed Her Self-Chosen English Name, And It’s Definitely Unexpected

Every BLACKPINK member has English names—Jennie, Lisa, and Rosé—except for Jisoo. Born and raised in South Korea, she’s the only one who did not speak English while growing up.

That isn’t to say, however, that she isn’t capable of it. With Jennie as her teacher, she’s become adept at understanding and communicating in the language.
