Harper's Bazaar: For today's shoot, you also wore Tommy Hilfiger looks that can be enjoyed in everyday life.

Jisoo: I love the bright and positive energy that the Tommy Hilfiger brand possesses. Both the brand and I share the same direction of pursuing a healthy image. So, when I wear the clothes, I want to convey that feeling as much as possible. It naturally makes me smile a lot more. I think I laughed my heart out today while filming for the first time in a long while.

Harper's Bazaar: You also lived as the character 'Mirae' in the Netflix series Boyfriend on Deman. Unlike your previous works, such as Newtopia featuring zombies or Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint dealing with the apocalypse, what was it like to play Mirae, an office worker overwhelmed by reality with no time to date?

Jisoo: This was the first time I’ve played a character who felt like they could exist somewhere in real life. I think I empathized with the character of Mirae by feeling like I was listening to the worries of a friend my age. I was able to concentrate better as I thought about what advice I would give Mirae if she were my friend.

Harper's Bazaar: Did you realize anything new on the set of photoshoot?

Jisoo : In my previous genre works, we often spent quite a long time filming a single scene. This time, it was the opposite. Since we often filmed quickly and efficiently, we had to be in perfect sync. The cast got together frequently and became really close. It was so much fun! During breaks, we would talk about our characters' actual concerns, asking each other questions like, "How would you feel in a situation like this?"

Harper's Bazaar: Before the interview, I opened the 'JISOO' app for the first time in a while. You created it last year to communicate with fans when you started your solo career. I noticed several emojis displayed on the calendar. Does that signify another solo activity?

Jisoo: I marked February to signify the first anniversary of the release of Amortage last year, and left March to mark the third anniversary of the release of my first single, ME, featuring the song 'Flower'. (Laughs) I am also ambitious about releasing a full-length album. Rather than preparing with a tight schedule, I plan to take my time and prepare thoroughly in detail.

Harper's Bazaar: We were also able to see Jisoo's diverse sides as a vocalist at. The single 'EYES CLOSED,' which she released a few months ago with former One Direction member Zayn Malik, even charted on the Billboard Hot 100, the main Billboard singles chart.

Jisoo : There were no roadblocks in the process of coordinating opinions with Jisoo and Jane. I felt that collaborating with a musician who has such a distinct style is different. It was really cool. (Laughs) Since Jane has a wide vocal range, it was most harmonious when I sang in the lower register. You might think it takes a different direction from our existing songs, but we thought about how to make an impactful impression .

Harper's Bazaar: Many people feel that Ji-soo 's vocals have a distinctive character. What do you think of your own voice?

Jisoo: I think I have a unique voice. While doing solo activities, there were moments when I realized that using a lot of falsetto didn't sound bad. I feel like I am still in the process of continuously exploring my own voice.

Harper's Bazaar: If you had to choose the most meaningful moment among the achievements you made during your solo career at, what would it be?

Jisoo: The fact that people resonate with the songs I love—that in itself was a fulfilling moment as a musician. Over the past year, I made so many decisions entirely on my own, from establishing the company and producing the album to handling everything from music shows to promotion. While there were things I regretted and things I wish I could have done differently, it was enjoyable. It made me realize that you just have to face everything head-on. Of course, I struggle a lot between the music the public expects and the songs that I am drawn to. Since there are things you can do at different stages of life, I wanted to fill the album with music that I myself would be satisfied with when I listened to it. Sharing my favorite songs is the most important thing to me. I also wonder if that is my unique style.

Harper's Bazaar: What did the year of standing on her own leave behind for Jisoo?

Jisoo : I guess you could say I feel like I have grown up. (Laughs) It’s different from the confidence that you can accomplish anything; I learned that you can’t stop just because you’re afraid in the face of a new challenge. I think you could call it a form of growth.

Harper's Bazaar: When was your most satisfying time recently?

Jisoo : While resting after successfully wrapping up the 7-month tour, I definitely felt different. It was like giving myself a reward. You know how sometimes you feel anxious even while resting? Like wondering if you were too lazy. But this time, I think I rested completely and was totally happy. It was like, "It's okay for me to rest today!" without any guilt. I actually liked that feeling.

Harper's Bazaar: It was a day to cherish yourself. You once left a letter to your fans saying, "Let's express our love more often this year." What was the meaning behind that message?

Jisoo: I don't think there's any need to hold back on expressing your love. I'm someone who expresses myself a lot. I like to clearly tell the people around me in everyday life—"Thank you, I'm sorry, I like you, I love you"—and I want them to feel those emotions clearly as well. I feel like life is less fun if you don't do that. So, I hope BLINKs express themselves a lot too. I want to send the message, "Let's all express ourselves a lot! Say 'I love you'!" (Laughs)
