The upcoming fantasy action will mark the big-screen debut for Jisoo, making her attendance at its events crucial. However, her not being a part of the Omniscient Reader: The Prophet's first major official event made fans upset with her agencies, YG Entertainment, and Blissoo. They took to criticizing YGE, labeling it "nasty" and arguing that Jisoo's group activities never seem to prioritize her individual schedule.
They also highlighted the perceived double standard, noting that Jisoo often attends events for other industry colleagues but wasn't present for her own project's significant milestone. Notably, Jisoo had recently made time to participate in the press event for the movie Hi.5, to support her friend GOT7's Park Jinyoung.
Given this, fans found it puzzling that she couldn't spare a few hours from her group schedule to attend the Omniscient Reader: The Prophet production briefing session.
Contrary to the above-mentioned opinions, some fans considered it Jisoo's personal decision not to be part of the event, with no interference from YGE. Some felt that even if the agency barred her from the activity, that was justifiable due to BLACKPINK's upcoming comeback preparation.
