BLACKPINK Jisoo’s Older Sister Kim Ji-yoon Makes Official TV Debut with Han Hye-jin: “No Pressure—This Is Just Who I Am”

BLACKPINK’s Jisoo’s older sister, influencer Kim Ji-yoon, is officially stepping into the spotlight as she launches her television career.

On the 23rd, Kim Ji-yoon took to her personal social media account to share the exciting news: “I can finally share some good news. On August 26, I’ll be making my debut on Grip’s first live commerce broadcast as a contestant on the new ENA variety show, ‘Super Seller: Incentive Game’!” She also posted the cast introduction video for the show.

Kim Ji-yoon added, “I can finally tell you why I’ve been studying so hard. I’m so grateful to everyone around me who gave me confidence and great advice! The show is set to premiere on ENA in October, so please look forward to it and send lots of support!”

She continued, “I’ll do my best to show you a great side of myself. Please cheer me on as I take on my first challenge as a ‘Super Seller’ and don’t forget to tune in to the Grip live commerce broadcast. Let’s go for first place!”

The released video featured a pre-show interview with Kim Ji-yoon. The production team asked, “You’re also known as BLACKPINK Jisoo’s older sister. Does that put any pressure on you?”



Kim Ji-yoon responded with a cool confidence, “Not at all. It’s just the truth. There’s nothing I can do about it—I was born this way,” drawing laughter with her candidness. She added, “I think Jisoo would just be happy for me. Since we’re both ‘T’ types (referring to the MBTI personality type), she’d probably tell me to give it my all.”

Kim Ji-yoon also shared, “I used to be a flight attendant at Korean Air and worked as a customer service representative at SK Telecom.” She continued, “I want to grow as a seller. Sometimes, a rookie can outperform a veteran. I’m aiming for first place and will work hard to achieve it,” expressing her determination.

Kim Ji-yoon’s stunning visuals—sharp features, petite face, and fair complexion—captured attention, reminiscent of her sister Jisoo’s beauty. She previously made headlines for her resemblance to actress Han Hyo-joo. ‘Super Seller’ is a real survival program where contestants from all walks of life—regardless of age, gender, profession, or experience—compete solely based on their sales skills. In this intense vertical platform, sales equal survival and destiny, as sellers battle it out in a fierce competition to sell out their products. Top model Han Hye-jin will serve as the MC.
