BlackPink's Jisoo has just confirmed that his new drama has been rejected by the male star, what is going on?

After the success of her debut role in "Snowdrop", the eldest BlackPink sister is set to return to the small screen with a Korean drama project on the topic of zombies, written by the Oscar-winning screenwriter.

According to an exclusive report from YTN on August 31, Jisoo will take on the female lead role of "Influenza" in the near future, with her co-star likely to be Park Jung Min.

Both Jisoo's agency Park Jung Min, SEM Company and YG Entertainment, confirmed that they had been invited to star in the project. While the eldest BlackPink sister has accepted the offer, Park Jung Min's side is still considering whether to accept or not.

Based on the novel of the same name by author Han Sang-woon, "Influenza" is set in an air defense unit located in a high-rise building in Seoul, depicting how soldier Jae Yoon and his girlfriend Yeong Joo run towards each other while fighting against zombies.

If nothing changes, Jisoo will play Young Joo, who has just reintegrated into society and desperately needs protection, especially since his breakup with Jae Yoon (expected Park Jung Min).
