Jisoo of BLACKPINK showcased a glamorous visual. Recently, Jisoo, who returned with the 3rd mini-album 'DEADLINE,' adorned the cover of 'Esquire's The Big Black Book' in collaboration with the luxury jewelry brand 'Cartier.' Unlike the monthly magazines published every month, The Big Black Book is a premium special edition of 'Esquire' that delves deeper into fashion and lifestyle, published once a year. As Cartier's ambassador, Jisoo wore various watches and jewelry from Cartier's jewelry collection 'Clash de Cartier,' presenting a stylish and confident appearance in the gravure. Regarding her feelings about BLACKPINK's full group comeback after 3 years and 5 months, Jisoo said, 'When we spend different times apart and then come together to work, it requires fine adjustments. I think it embodies the current BLACKPINK well.' She added, 'Personally, I think this album can be expressed with the keyword 'growth.' Jisoo, who organizes her thoughts through music during busy times, stated, 'When I write lyrics or hum melodies, good melodies or lyrics come to mind, and I record them immediately. (As an artist) I don't set big goals. I want to continue quietly at my own pace without rushing what I'm doing.' Jisoo is also dedicated to acting, playing the lead role of 'Seo Mi-rae' in the Netflix series 'Monthly Boyfriend,' which premieres on March 6. 'It has a fantasy setting of a virtual romance simulation, but the emotions and relationships felt by the characters are very realistic. Considering the recent pace of technological advancement, it was interesting that the setting of 'Monthly Boyfriend' didn't feel completely unrealistic,' she conveyed. Jisoo mentioned that jewelry, once worn, naturally becomes a part of the day, feeling more personal than clothing, and she changes how she layers rings according to her mood. Just as Cartier values 'challenge' and 'passion,' Jisoo expressed her desire to venture into unfamiliar directions. Her interview and gravure can be checked through 'Esquire' The Big Black Book and the official website.
