(Xports News reporter Jang In-young) Jisoo's older sister Kim Ji-yoon, who was nicknamed 'Gunpo Han Hyo-joo' during her school days, has thrown her hat into the survival show arena.

On the 12th, the first episode of tvN's 'Kill It: Style Creator Great War' (hereinafter 'Kill It') featured 100 It girls with a combined total of 43 million SNS followers, including global fashion brand ambassadors, world models, and super influencers.

Before Kim Ji-yoon's appearance that day, the hashtag '#Jisoo of BLACKPINK's older sister' was revealed, drawing attention.

As a selfie with Jisoo was then unveiled, the contestants reacted explosively, saying things like, "Is she really her older sister?" and "They look alike."

Kim Ji-yoon said, "My younger sister is the well-known BLACKPINK member Jisoo. I wonder if my sister will be nervous along with me," adding, "I think she'll watch and think, 'Can she do well? She probably will,' while believing in me."

Kim Ji-yoon caught the eye by pairing a black dress with striking red stockings. She explained, "Today's fashion was something I wore with red accents, with the feeling of 'I'm going to overpower everything.'"

However, other contestants had already used many red fashion items. One contestant bluntly said, "I don't think she looked like a competitor."
