BLACKPINK JISOO made a comeback with its mini-album DEADLINE on February 27, decorating the cover of The Big Black Book of Esquire with luxury jewelry brand Cartier.
The Big Black Book is a premium book of Esquire, which covers fashion and lifestyle in depth once a year, unlike monthly magazines. Cartier Ambassador Ji-Soo wore various watches and jewelry such as "Clash de Cartier" and shot a pictorial.
Ji-Soo said about her comeback as a whole group of BLACKPINK after 3 years and 5 months, "We had to coordinate it delicately as we worked together again after spending different times. I think we captured BLACKPINK's current situation well," he said. "Personally, I think I can express this album with the keyword 'growth'," he said.

He said of the music process, "I write lyrics or hum the notes and quickly record good melodies or lyrics when they come out. I don't have any grand goals (as an artist). I don't want to rush over what I'm doing, and I want to continue at my own pace."

Ji-Soo is also currently working on acting. He will appear as the lead role of Seo Mi-rae in the Netflix series Monthly Boyfriend, which will be released on March 6. He said, "There is a fantasy setting called virtual love simulation, but the emotions and relationships that characters feel come very realistically. Considering the pace of technological development these days, it was interesting to see that the setting in "monthly boyfriend" didn't even feel completely unrealistic," he said.
Jisoo explained about jewelry, "Once you wear it, you naturally spend the day together, so it feels like a more personal object than clothes." He then added that he layers the ring differently depending on his mood. He said he contemplates changes in unfamiliar directions, such as the value of challenge and passion that Cartier considers important. Ji-Soo's interviews and pictorials will be released on Esquire's The Big Black Book and website.
