The award, presented in partnership with French magazine Madame Figaro, honours rising figures in the entertainment industry. Past recipients include American actress Sydney Sweeney, Daisy Edgar-Jones of Normal People, and Phoebe Dynevor of Bridgerton.
According to Variety, Canneseries artistic director Albin Lewi said Jisoo’s “artistic journey, her ability to conquer new creative territories, and her global aura” made her the ideal honoree.

She currently appears in Netflix’s Boyfriend On Demand, which follows a webtoon producer who turns to a virtual reality dating service in search of love.
