JISOO Slows-Down Time For New Self-Portrait Film Project: Exclusive

The new series premieres with “the restaurant,” in which JISOO appears cool, calm and very much collected against blurry-busy background.

BLACKPINK’s JISOO has unveiled the first installment of her latest self-portrait film project, "Portraits of a Woman in Motion." The four-part series, set to premiere today (Nov. 10), is helmed by Oliver Hadlee Pearch and features the K-pop star in a Korean restaurant in Seoul. The visual collaboration juxtaposes JISOO's composed demeanor against images of life moving at a rapid pace, with each episode transforming her surroundings into surreal, accelerated settings.

Despite the whirlwind, JISOO remains the constant figure throughout. She is seen wearing a multi-textured knit cardigan, a lilac viscose contrast lace blouse, and a gold sequin midi skirt from the brand’s latest collection. Reflecting on the rapidly changing nature of life, JISOO remarks, "I feel like life moves so quickly nowadays."

The creative director of self-portrait, Han Chong, praised JISOO's ability to stay herself amidst all the changes, stating, "I always feel like myself in the clothes no matter what I’m doing, and that is a very unique skill." JISOO's upcoming album, set to drop soon, will include tracks like "Click" and "Addicted," both of which have been well-received by fans, known as BLINKS. The next episode in the series will drop on Nov. 12.
