Global K-Pop superstar Jisoo of BLACKPINK is sending shivers down spines with recently leaked pictures from the set of her upcoming drama, “Influenza.” The highly anticipated series promises a thrilling zombie apocalypse story, marking Jisoo’s exciting return to acting.
Fans were ecstatic to see glimpses of Jisoo filming inside a convenience store, presumably for a scene early on in the drama. While there were no zombies present during this particular shoot, the unsettling atmosphere was evident from the blood stains smeared on the store’s doors and mirrors. Jisoo sported a casual look in a long puffer jacket and cozy Ugg slippers, filming alongside her co-star, Park Jung Min, the male lead.
This isn’t Jisoo’s first foray into the world of K-dramas. Fans adored her performance in the 2022 drama “Snowdrop” where she starred opposite Jung Hae In. Since then, they’ve been eagerly awaiting her next acting project. “Influenza” seems like the perfect return vehicle, offering Jisoo a chance to showcase her range in a genre unlike anything she’s done before.
The Plot Thickens: A Love Story Amidst the Apocalypse
“Influenza” takes place within a South Korean air defense unit and centers around the story of soldier Lee Jae Yoon (played by Park Jung Min) and his girlfriend Kang Young Joo (played by Jisoo). Their relationship takes a dramatic turn when a sudden and devastating zombie outbreak throws the world into chaos. Fresh from a breakup, the estranged couple must now fight for survival amidst the growing horde of undead, all while trying to find their way back to each other.
Adding more depth to the story is Kim Joon Han, who portrays Lee Jae Yoon’s junior soldier, Private Ro In Ho. The drama boasts a powerhouse creative team, with the screenplay written by Han Ji Won, the acclaimed writer behind the Oscar-winning film “Parasite,” and directed by the talented Yoon Sung Hyun.
Fans React with Enthusiasm
Needless to say, fans exploded with excitement upon seeing the leaked pictures. The stills quickly spread like wildfire across social media platforms, sparking a frenzy amongst Jisoo’s devoted fanbase, collectively known as BLINKS. Many fans expressed their eagerness to see Jisoo take on this challenging role, while others couldn’t help but jokingly point out her comfy on-set attire, comparing it to what she might wear while relaxing at home.
OP confirmed to see #JISOO filming on their way to the convenience store around Seoul and Jisoo is filming alongside Park Jung-Min (only with a glimpse of his back head).
With a captivating plot, a talented cast, and a prestigious production team behind it, “Influenza” has all the ingredients to become a major K-drama hit. While the release date remains under wraps, fans can rest assured that Jisoo is gearing up to deliver a chilling performance that will leave them on the edge of their seats.
