San thanked BLACKPINK for opening doors internationally, while Jisoo wondered whether she could pull off the senior-artist image.
BLACKPINK’s Jisoo had a surprisingly modest concern before sharing a television appearance with ATEEZ’s San and Wooyoung: whether she would come across as their senior. The three singers appeared on the November 8 episode of JTBC’s “Please Take Care of My Refrigerator,” where a respectful introduction quickly became an opportunity for Jisoo’s self-deprecating humor.
According to Star News, San thanked BLACKPINK for helping open international opportunities for other K-pop artists, telling Jisoo that meeting her was an honor. Rather than leaning into the praise, she explained that she rarely had opportunities to meet junior artists and had wondered how she would appear when meeting the ATEEZ members.

The exchange placed two perspectives beside each other. San approached Jisoo as a member of a group whose international career he admired, while Jisoo spoke about the slightly unfamiliar experience of meeting colleagues who already regarded her as an established senior.
Her response was a joke about how she might come across, rather than an admission that the meeting had gone badly. Star News described the remark as drawing laughter, keeping the emphasis on a light introduction between artists rather than a tense encounter.
For readers unfamiliar with Korean entertainment language, “senior” in this setting refers to professional standing within the industry. It does not necessarily mean a manager or someone with direct authority over another performer. That context helps explain why San’s formal appreciation and Jisoo’s playful response fit comfortably within the same conversation.

Jisoo also arrived as a viewer of the program herself. According to Star News, she described it as something she regularly watches while eating alone, adding that the food on screen sometimes prompts her to order delivery.
That detail changes the frame of the appearance: she was joining a familiar part of her own routine, while meeting fellow performers in a setting she usually experiences from the audience’s side. The combination gave her something immediately personal to discuss before the refrigerator inspection and cooking competition.
JTBC’s episode preview also stated that San and Wooyoung had wanted to appear on the show, and confirmed that the three were meeting for the first time. Their shared interest in the program supplied a point of connection alongside the more formal senior-junior introduction.
An “ADDICTED” Challenge Brings Them Together
According to JTBC, the appearance included Jisoo performing the “ADDICTED” challenge with San and Wooyoung. The collaboration connected the food-show visit with her current music activities, offering a brief performance element within an episode otherwise organized around conversation and cooking.
Our earlier coverage explored the visual concept surrounding “ADDICTED”. Here, the song became a shared activity between guests, allowing the interaction to move from talking about one another’s careers to doing something together.
Our reading is that this shift is what makes the encounter engaging: San’s praise establishes respect, Jisoo’s joke softens the formality, and the challenge gives them a common task. That is an interpretation of the reported interaction, rather than evidence of a friendship or future collaboration beyond the program.

The episode also offered a look at Jisoo’s food habits. According to OSEN’s broadcast recap, she described her refrigerator as unusually well stocked for her, only for the chefs to react to how much space remained inside. She explained that it often contains little more than water and fruit.
The same report identified delivery sauces, salted seafood, stir-fried anchovies made by her mother and a chili-pepper sauce from her aunt among the contents. Those details supplied a more everyday counterpart to the international-star introduction, shifting the discussion toward what she actually keeps and eats at home.
As our previous coverage of Son Ye-jin’s appearance on the same show illustrated, a refrigerator can give the conversation a different starting point from a conventional promotional interview. In Jisoo’s case, the appeal lay in that combination of recognizable routines, food preferences and a first meeting that became a joke at her own expense.
Editor’s Note: The senior-junior terminology in this exchange describes professional relationships within Korean entertainment, rather than a supervisory relationship between the guests.
