On March 6, Jisoo appeared on Hyeri’s YouTube show Hyell’s Club with actor Seo In Guk, discussing behind-the-scenes experiences from the Netflix romantic fantasy series Boyfriend on Demand. During the conversation, Jisoo revealed that Kim Young Dae ended up filming the series’ final shoot with the main cast due to a last-minute schedule change, which Hyeri joked must have been confusing for him. The cast laughed as Hyeri imagined him arriving to find everyone taking group photos and crying.
The discussion shifted to how actors handle emotional moments at the end of filming. Seo In Guk shared that he sometimes becomes sentimental on a project’s last day, while Hyeri admitted she tends to cry heavily when saying goodbye to the cast and staff. In contrast, Jisoo said she experienced a completely different reaction. She recalled comforting the directors, who were tearful, but she herself “couldn’t understand which part was supposed to be sad.” She even tried to reflect on the emotions, but still felt no personal sadness. Instead, she described feeling excited, encouraging photos, and sand celebrations after filming wrapped.
After clips of the interview circulated online, some netizens criticized her remarks, linking them to a long-standing debate about her acting skills. Comments such as “Now I understand why her acting doesn’t feel convincing” and “It sounds like she lacks attachment to the project” were shared widely.
However, many fans defended Jisoo, emphasizing that actors naturally experience and express emotions differently. Responses included, “Not crying doesn’t mean she doesn’t care about the drama” and “She’s just being honest about how she felt.” Supporters argued that her excitement reflected her personality rather than a lack of engagement with her work.
In Boyfriend on Demand, Jisoo portrays Seo Mi Rae, a webtoon producer involved in a virtual dating simulation where fictional characters appear in real life. The fantasy romantic comedy also stars Seo In Guk as Park Kyung Nam and features cameo appearances from Lee Soo Hyuk, Seo Kang Jun, Lee Jae Wook, Ong Seong Wu, and Kim Young Dae, highlighting a star-studded ensemble cast.
