Jisoo Leaves for New York Ahead of Met Gala Debut
jisoo left for New York on May 3 via Incheon Airport for her first Met Gala appearance, a debut that lands on May 4 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. She is attending as a BLACKPINK member and Dior ambassador, and her absence from last year’s event makes this year’s arrival the cleaner story.
May 4 at the Met Museum
The Met Gala is held every first Monday of May, and this year’s theme is Costume Art with the dress code Fashion Is Art. That gives Jisoo a clear platform inside one of fashion’s most closely watched annual rooms, where a first appearance tends to pull attention toward the look as much as the guest list.
Béyoncé, Nicole Kidman, Venus Williams
This year’s co-chairs are Beyoncé, Nicole Kidman, and Venus Williams, while Lisa has been named to the host committee and Ahn Hyo-seop is attending with Valentino. The lineup sharpens the K-pop and Korean-star angle without turning the night into a single-person spectacle.
The wrinkle is timing and access: the red carpet will stream live at 6 p.m. local time on Vogue’s official YouTube channel, which means Korean viewers will be watching at 7 a.m. on the 5th. Jisoo’s departure makes the appearance immediate; the actual read on the outfit arrives only when cameras hit the carpet.
