MANILA, Philippines — Korean singer Jisoo from the K-pop girl group Blackpink shared that she loves to drive cars, even calling herself a parking expert.

Jisoo was the latest celebrity featured on WIRED's Autocomplete Interview series on YouTube, wherein she shared information based on the most-searched Google queries.

The singer began by explaining that her nickname Jisoon-ni was formed after her fellow Blackpink members — Lisa, Jennie and Rosé — kept calling her "Jisoo unni" ("unnie" means older sister, and Jisoo is the eldest member).

Other nicknames like Shoongi, Chichu and her frequent social media handle Sooyaaa are all cute pronunciations of Jisoo.

This is in contrast to her family, where she is the youngest — which she prefers because the youngest is always forgiven — of three siblings.

Another nickname of hers, Turtle Rabbit Kim, came about while the group was vacationing in Turtle Bay, Hawaii. Jisoo wanted to have a chosen middle name like Jennie's Ruby Jane.

Jisoo explained in Korean her fashion style as usually casual and feminine, "When I go to work, I just wear really comfy clothes. But when I go meet up with friends or am by myself, I think I often dress in a slightly feminine way. And I'm a bit short, so I like wearing heels."

The singer expressed her excitement about getting to drive in a music video; however, because the vehicle to be used was a vintage, it was too "delicate" to actually be driven.

"I'm a parking expert. Maybe my spatial awareness is just outstanding?" Jisoo giggled, saying she's never had a hard time parking.

 Among Blackpink's discography, Jisoo's favorite is "Love to Hate Me" from the group's debut album because she finds it fun and exciting to sing.

Other things Jisoo shared were that she was scared of ghosts, sleep paralysis and knives. She also likes reading manga and watching Japanese dramas, prefers cleaning over cooking, and admitted to being an introvert.

Jisoo just giggled when she was asked if she was the queen of K-pop.  

Blackpink performed at the Philippine Arena for two nights last March 24 and 25, and a week later Jisoo released her first solo album "ME," which features the single "Flower." — Video from WIRED's YouTube Channel
