Cartier Ambassador Jisoo Cover

BLACKPINK's Jisoo graced the cover of Esquire's The Big Black Book, collaborating with luxury jewelry brand Cartier for the release of her mini-album 'DEADLINE'. As a Cartier ambassador, Jisoo posed for the photoshoot wearing various jewelry and watches from the 'Clash de Cartier' collection, among others.

Regarding her feelings about BLACKPINK's comeback as a full group after three years and five months, Jisoo stated, "As we had spent different times apart and then came back together to work, we had to coordinate meticulously." She added, "​I believe we have captured the current BLACKPINK well." She also personally described this album with the keyword "​growth."

About the music creation process, Jisoo said, "When I'm writing lyrics or humming a melody, if a good melody or lyric comes to mind, I quickly jot it down." She expressed her desire not for grand goals, but rather "​to not rush through the things I'm doing now, and to continue them calmly at my own pace."

Jisoo is also pursuing acting activities and will play the lead role of 'Seo Mirae' in the Netflix series 'Monthly Boyfriend,' set to be released on March 6th. She explained about the project, "​Even within the fantasy setting of a virtual dating simulation, the characters' emotions and relationships feel realistic." She added, "​Considering the current pace of technological advancement, it's interesting that the setting doesn't feel entirely unrealistic."
