Jisoo (BLACKPINK) revealed her parents’ special way of childrearing and her powerful family background
Although she is the eldest member of BLACKPINK, in her family, Jisoo is the youngest child. Therefore, Jisoo’s parents have a special way of raising their youngest daughter.
In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Jisoo (BLACKPINK) revealed her parents’ special upbringing. Being the youngest child in the family, Jisoo’s parents have a different way of educating her.
If Jisoo doesn’t want to go to school, her parents will allow her to take a day off. The female idol recounted her memory, “I’d wake up one morning grimacing because I didn’t want to go to school. My dad would say, “What’s up? Why the long face?” I’d say, “Dad, I’m so tired, I just want to sleep.” “OK, don’t go then!”’. However, after that, the story was explained in detail.
Jisoo’s teacher is very unhappy with this, but according to the female idol, her parents are more tolerant of her because she is the youngest child in the family. “Then the next day, my teacher would ask, “What are you going to do with your life?”. It’s not that they gave up on me; I think they adored me, especially because I was the youngest kid. They were more liberal with letting me do what I wanted” – Jisoo confided. The way her parents raised her is completely different from the strict upbringing of most Asian parents.
However, the way Jisoo’s parents brought her up also caused many difficulties for the female idol, especially during her early days when she just joined YG Entertainment. Jisoo is used to being taken care of by her parents, so adapting to an environment with many principles like YG Entertainment is quite difficult for her. BLACKPINK‘s eldest member said she has tried her best to get used to the new environment at YG Entertainment.
According to some rumors, Jisoo’s father might be either the CEO of MAMAMOO’s agency or a head director at the famous TV station – Mnet. This explains why Jisoo’s father has so many relationships with Korean famous producers, directors, and MCs. For example, Heechul (Super Junior) has a very close relationship with Jisoo’s father. The male idol even attended the wedding of Jisoo’s brother.
