Viewers were surprised not only by her confidence on camera but also by how closely she resembles her famous sibling. Comments poured in praising her natural charm, elegance, and calm demeanor, with some remarking that “star quality clearly runs in the family.”

Kim Ji Yoon officially began her broadcast career after appearing on ENA’s reality show Superseller: Incentive Game, where she gained attention for her communication skills and poised personality. During the program, the production team asked whether she feels pressure being known as Jisoo’s older sister. She answered candidly, saying, “No, I’m the older sister, so it’s unavoidable. I was born this way.”

She also shared insight into how Jisoo feels about her stepping into the public eye. “I think Jisoo likes it. She’s the straightforward type, so I think she would say, ‘Ok, do your best,’” Kim Ji Yoon revealed, suggesting that the BLACKPINK star is supportive of her sister’s new ventures.

Beyond her viral visuals, Kim Ji Yoon highlighted her professional background. She emphasised that her career has been built on hard work rather than family fame. “I’ve worked as a flight attendant for Korea Air and as a customer service representative for a telecom company, and was even ranked number one for kindness,” she said.

Looking ahead, Kim Ji Yoon made it clear that she has ambitious plans. “I want to grow further as a seller. Aren’t there cases where a beginner suddenly excels more than a professional? I have a competitive spirit, so I’ll work hard to aim for first place,” she stated confidently.
