Jisoo graced the cover of the December issue of fashion magazine Elle.

Jisoo, who finished filming the movie ‘Omniscient Reader‘s Viewpoint’ and the series ‘Newtopia’, was asked if there was a difference in her sense of responsibility as a singer and as an actress, to which she replied, “The only difference is the energy that can be seen in the moment, but both require a lot of time and effort, so the weight of responsibility is not different. However, when I receive a good script, I tend to meet the director and talk a lot. Because I think it’s important to have the same direction since we have to work together for a long time.”

Regarding the process of working on music since establishing her one-person agency, she answered passionately, “There are so many things that I have to find out and decide one by one. It‘s difficult, but it’s fun, and I‘ve come to realize how many people are helping me. That makes the results more meaningful. I want to share them with you soon.”

When asked about her feelings ahead of the release of her new work in 2025, she said, “After filming together for a long time, my affection for the work cannot help but deepen. I hope that the viewers will also find it fun as much as we enjoyed and worked hard on filming. I am worried, but I am equally excited.” She did not hide her affection, saying, “Although it was a year in which I took on many new challenges, I felt a lot of warmth from the help and support I received. If this year was a new turning point for me, wouldn’t next year be the starting point?” She added, expressing her anticipation for her future activities.

Jisoo’s pictorial and interview can be found in the December issue of Elle and on the website, and the interview film will also be released on the Elle YouTube channel.
