SEOUL, April 24 (AJP) - BLACKPINK's Jisoo has won an award at this year's Cannes International Series Festival, which kicked off its weeklong run in the French resort city earlier this week.

Jisoo received the Madame Figaro Rising Star Award last Wednesday at the annual festival, also known as Canneseries, which promotes television series around the world.

According to the festival's organizers, Jisoo, alongside her music career, has "steadily expanded her presence as an actress, building her acting profile across music videos, advertising campaigns, television series, and films."

"Jisoo continues to balance careers in music and acting, with a focus on expanding her filmography through diverse roles and formats. With her international reach, screen presence, and ongoing artistic growth, she remains a prominent and promising figure in contemporary [South] Korean and global entertainment," they added.

Having debuted as a member of BLACKPINK in 2016, she has gained worldwide popularity and branched out in her career into acting with her latest appearance in romantic comedy "Monthly Boyfriend," in which she plays a webtoonist wearied by daily life who turns to a virtual dating.
