Blackpink’s Jisoo will take a step into virtual reality in Boyfriend on Demand, the working title for Netflix‘s upcoming romantic comedy.
Jisoo will star opposite Seo In-guk (Doom at Your Service, Café Minamdang) in the romcom series and play Seo Mi-rae, an overworked webtoon producer who searches for love on a virtual reality dating subscription program where “she meets the boyfriends of her dreams.”
According to an announcement of the upcoming comedy, Jisoo’s Mi-rae receives a “Monthly Boyfriend” device and “encounters unrealistically perfect boyfriends, awakening her dormant desires for romance.” Meanwhile, Seo In-guk will portray Mi-rae’s rival colleague Park Kyeong-nam, whose “indifferent and cold demeanor” is set to challenge his coworker’s idea of the perfect suitor.
Directed by Kim Jung-sik (Work Later, Drink Now, No Gain No Love), the recently green-lit project has yet to receive a release date. Netflix has invested heavily in Korean productions and recently revealed its full 2025 Korean slate of films and series including the third season of fan favorite Squid Game.
The streamer’s new comedy also marks Jisoo’s latest acting gig following Amazon Prime’s Newtopia. On Valentine’s Day, the singer and actress released the music video for her single “Earthquake,” which arrived alongside her new mini album,Amortage.
Jisoo announced she had signed to global deal with Warner Records in January for her solo music. “I feel like I’m just getting started and I’d like to thank the BLINKs for all of their love and support,” she said in a press release at the time.
