JISOO is ready for her close-up, again.
The BLACKPINK star today (Nov. 10) shares part one of “Portraits of a Woman in Motion,” the latest chapter in her micro-film saga with self-portrait, Billboard can exclusively reveal.
Released over four short episodes, the series premieres with “the restaurant,” helmed by Oliver Hadlee Pearch in Seoul, South Korea. The visual collaboration captures the K-pop artist looking ever so classy, always chill and collected, juxtaposed with images of life at warp speed.

It’s the followup to the first in the film series, “Portraits of a Screen Star,” which arrived earlier in the fall.
For this second act, “it is her surroundings that transform, with each episode turning an everyday imaginary space into something surreal and accelerated – lights flicker and time seems to fracture,” reads a statement accompanying the new visual, “while JISOO remains completely recognizable; a constant in a world that never stands still.”
JISOO can be seen in a multi textured knit cardigan, lilac viscose contrast lace blouse and gold sequin midi skirt from the fashion house’s latest collection.
“I feel like life moves so quickly nowadays,” she remarks in the statement. “For me, I’m constantly shifting between different cities, stages, studios and days that never look the same.”
JISOO has high praise for Han Chong, founder and creative director of self-portrait, noting that “I always feel like myself in the clothes no matter what I’m doing, and that is a very unique skill.” With this latest project, she continues, “I think we managed to show this in an entertaining way – the way that our world constantly moves around us, but that there is strength in being completely and effortlessly yourself. It was a lot of fun making it.”
The ability to keep calm in a storm is a particularly handy talent for JISOO. It’s all happening for her right now.
With a hotly-anticipated debut album coming along, and an original number set to appear on The Angry Birds Movie 3 soundtrack, JISOO last week became the latest signing to WME.
“What I have noticed over the years that we have been working together, is that JISOO never changes for the room or situation she’s in,” Chong remarks. “She is incredibly calm and centered – present for every interaction. It’s this powerful characteristic that I wanted to celebrate with our latest project – one which sees fantasy worlds rushing around her while she stays exactly who she is.”
JISOO began her solo journey in 2023, with the release of her debut EP, ME, which became the first album by a female solo artist in South Korea to surpass one million sales. Its single, “꽃(FLOWER),” powered to No. 2 on the Billboard Global 200 in April of that year, and No. 1 on the Global Excl. US chart. A debut mini album arrived in 2025, AMORTAGE, and included songs “earthquake” and “Your Love.
The first bites from her forthcoming album project are “Click” and “Addicted,” both of which have been well received by BLINKS.
“Portraits of a Woman in Motion” is an extension to JISOO’s deal struck with the fashion house in March 2024, marking the first time the London brand had tapped a musician to front its works.
The next episode in the video series will drop Nov. 12.
