Canneseries has announced that global K-pop icon and rising television star, JISOO will receive the Madame Figaro Rising Star Award at the TV festival’s Opening Ceremony next month.
Jisoo will walk the Canneseries pink carpet on 23 April 2026 to receive the award, an accolade presented annually to shine a light on a promising personality to watch.
The South Korean star is a member of girl band Blackpink, and since 2016 has established herself as one of the major figures of global pop culture. Her band’s records have enjoyed international success with sold-out tours around the world.
“Alongside her music career, Jisoo has steadily expanded her presence as an actress, building her acting profile across music videos, advertising campaigns, television series, and films,” says Canneseries.
In 2021, she took her first leading TV role in the series Snowdrop. Her acting career has continued to rise, with her latest project Boyfriend on Demand, which debuts on Netflix this month (March 2026).
Jisoo is followed by more than 80 million subscribers on Instagram where her influence extends beyond music to fashion, luxury and cinema.
In France, Jisoo’s luxury collaborations include:
- luxury brand ambassador for Cartier’s Panthère de Cartier community (a collaboration which began in 2022),
- global ambassador for Dior (fashion and beauty), a partnership which first began in 2021).
Canneseries 2026 will be held in Cannes from 23 to 28 April.
