The number of subscribers to her channel reached one million in about 10 hours. The “London Vlog” garnered 2.4 million views in about 11 hours.

According to Social Blade, Jisoo’s channel was created on Nov. 11 last year.

In “London Vlog,” Jisoo went around London together with BLACKPINK’s Lisa.

Filmed in London in the beginning of December, Jisoo said, “We get a day off in London today. I'm walking the streets of London for my day off. It's already full of Christmas vibes here. So I'm gonna take some pictures. I'll take on the challenge!”

Then the two went to a restaurant to eat Korean food.

“This is my LONDON VLOG but we've come to have Korean food,” said Jisoo.

She also visited different places in London including Big Ben and Buckingham Palace.

“If I have to wait in line or make a reservation prior to visiting, I just give up right away. I hate having things planned. I don't like traveling under a strict plan. I just like traveling spontaneously and going to places I feel like going,” she explained.

She added, “To be honest, when I was planning to film a LONDON VLOG in Korea. It was really strategic and planned in my mind. I wanted to portray London as a whole and make this LONDON VLOG into a success. I wanted everyone watching this to think, 'Wow this is London,' 'I feel like being in London.' I wanted people to feel satisfied by looking at this as if they've been to London but this was just...”

According to the channel, “All profit coming from the HAPPY JISOO 103% channel will be donated to those in need. We hope everyone's happiness index increases.”
