Jisoo's Elegant Winter Transformation in ELLE Korea
Jisoo stars as the captivating cover model for ELLE Korea's December 2025 issue, perfectly aligning with her confessed favorite season. The photoshoot embodies a cozy yet sophisticated winter aesthetic, capturing Jisoo in a serene and natural light.
She models a range of warm, layered outfits, from chunky knitwear to elegant tailored coats, that evoke a feeling of comfortable luxury. Her styling complements the theme with soft, natural makeup and a notably fresh, new hairstyle that frames her face beautifully, enhancing the overall feeling of a peaceful, wintery escape. The entire pictorial feels personal and intimate, mirroring the warm and reflective atmosphere of the season she loves so much.

Jisoo's Heart-to-Heart: On Tour Memories, Love, and Self-Care
When asked about her plans for the winter, Jisoo shared a beautifully simple and relatable desire.
“Time flew by while I was busy, and suddenly December is here,” she remarked.
“This winter, I want to spend it especially warmly. But I can’t miss the sight of falling snow, so I want to stay cozy under a blanket at home and watch the snow fall," Jisoo continued.
This moment of quiet contemplation is a sentiment many can understand. The conversation naturally shifted to her life with BLACKPINK, specifically their ongoing "DEADLINE" world tour. Out of all the explosive performances and roaring crowds, one specific, tender moment stands out as the most memorable for her.
“I love the moment when BLINKs all turn on their smartphone lights and wave them together whenever we sing the song ‘STAY,’” Jisoo revealed.
“I think it will remain deep in my memory for a long time and be a great source of strength when I’m going through tough times," she recalled.
Since February of this year, Jisoo has been on a distinct artistic journey, exploring the multifaceted theme of love through her solo album “AMORTAGE” and her recent collaborative single “EYES CLOSED” with former One Direction member Zayn Malik.
“Most human emotions are connected to love, so I naturally end up talking about different kinds of love," Jisoo revealed.
When pressed on what she considers the most perfect form of love, Jisoo offered a mature and realistic perspective.
“I don’t think perfect love exist. Maybe the final stage of love is when two people come to understand each other and live in a way that brings them as close to perfection as possible," she shared.
This theme of nurturing connections also extends to how she treats herself. When asked if she has been taking steps to love herself more, Jisoo expressed a grounded and resilient philosophy.
“I’ve always cherished and taken good care of myself. I just hope I can continue living this way,” she said.
“Whenever hard times come, I hope I can remember that I always have myself and overcome it without being shaken by even the smallest breeze,” Jisoo confessed.
This powerful statement of self-reliance and inner strength perfectly encapsulates the thoughtful and resilient artist that Jisoo has become. Her full pictorial and deeply personal interview can be found in the December issue of ELLE Korea.

Jisoo’s interview felt like a K-drama monologue, so heartfelt! It makes me appreciate idols who share genuine emotions
Jisoo’s cozy winter plan beats a night at my pub any day! Maybe I’ll play BLACKPINK OSTs for a change. Cheers to that!
The way she describes watching the snow from under a blanket… that’s exactly the kind of winter peace I want too. She always puts feelings into simple words☃️
Jisoo talking about perfect love and self-care? Sounds like she’s hiding something. I bet Dispatch has the real tea on this…
Hmm, playing BLACKPINK at a pub? I give it a week before you switch back. Their songs are catchy, but the real entertainment is watching their off-stage drama unfold

Why so negative? Jisoo noona is always sincere! Let’s just appreciate her honesty and support BLACKPINK

Her thoughts on love hit harder than I expected. It’s refreshing to hear an idol talk about love without pretending it’s always perfect.
There’s something so calming about Jisoo speaking honestly like this. It feels like she’s finally letting us see the softer parts of her heart.
Nah, not everything has to be some hidden drama. Sometimes people really just grow up and think deeper about life. Jisoo’s literally just being honest here.
Jisoo’s ELLE photoshoot is like a dream! Her elegance and the winter theme are so enchanting. She’s a true visual queen!

I love how she talks about BLINKs’ phone lights during ‘STAY.’ That moment is magical even through a screen, so I can’t imagine how emotional it must feel on stage.
