BLACKPINK's Jisoo talked about her hobbies in the episode

The BLACKPINK idol stated that she does not have any hobbies and prefers lying down whenever she has leisure time.

“I have no hobbies. When I’m not working, I’m lying down. My bed has two spots… If I lie down for too long on one side and it gets too hot, I’ll move over to the other side and lie down,” Jisoo said.

BLACKPINK's Jisoo even revealed that she spent plenty of money on game-related purchases, which she considers an investment.
