It's actually the first fashion campaign Jisoo has appeared in for a contemporary fashion brand, as well as the first project she's done since she announced her own agency, Blissoo.

“We first started working with Jisoo many years ago, dressing her both on and off the stage, so having her front our campaign was a natural next step," said founder and creative director Han Chong in a press release. "Watching her journey to becoming a global icon has been so inspiring not only to me, but to a legion of fans. She is a role model to so many — kind, inspiring, sensitive and a pillar of strength. I wanted her beauty, both inside and out, to be front and center of this first series of portraits we shot together in Seoul.”
