**What was the most memorable moment for Jisoo during the world tour?**

Jisoo, who is active across both music and acting, said she doesn’t want to rush and hopes to move forward at her own pace.

**Q: The 33-show world tour across 16 cities recently came to an end. Is there anything particularly memorable from this tour?**

A: Of course the performances themselves are very memorable, but what stands out most to me this time is the time we spent traveling on planes. I talked so much with the members, and for some reason it was especially fun. Thanks to that, the travel felt less tiring. Overall, I think I approached this entire tour with a joyful mindset.

**Q: Compared to your other activities, what does a world tour mean to you?**

A: A world tour actually requires more physical and mental energy than you might expect. You have to adjust to time differences and take good care of your condition. In a new environment, there are many things you have to focus on every single moment. So during the tour, I naturally find myself focusing more on the present rather than on other thoughts.

**Q: It must not be easy adjusting to jet lag.**

A: When traveling to places with a big time difference, I try to adjust my sleep pattern to match the destination’s time. For example, I try to sleep in advance on the plane. When the time difference isn’t that big, I usually watch movies or dramas I’ve downloaded onto my iPad.

**Q: We’re curious about BLACKPINK’s album Deadline, which is being released three years and five months after the last one.**

A: It’s a mini album that the four of us prepared together after a long time. Since we each spent time apart having different experiences before coming back together, we had to coordinate things more delicately. It’s also an album that best captures who BLACKPINK is right now. Personally, I think I could describe this album with the keyword “growth.”

**Q: You’ve also consistently continued your solo activities. You even released a digital single last October.**

A: When I’m busier, I actually tend to organize my thoughts through music. I write lyrics or hum melodies. If a good melody or lyric comes to me during that process, I quickly record it. The song “Your Love” was created by developing an idea that came from humming like that.

**Q: What kind of musical color do you pursue and like?**

A: Rather than setting a specific direction, I think I tend to make music that naturally reflects the state I’m in at that time. I don’t mind if each track on an album has a slightly different mood.

**Q: As an artist, you’ve already achieved many milestone accomplishments. Do you still have dreams you aspire to?**

A: I’m not the type to set grand goals in advance. I just want to continue what I’m doing now without rushing through it, and carry on steadily at my own pace.

**Q: Besides the album, your Netflix series Boyfriend on Demand is also coming out soon. What led you to join this project?**

A: Although it has a fantasy setting involving a virtual dating simulation, the emotions the characters feel and their relationships come across very realistically. That made me think I could be honest and faithful to those emotions. Considering the speed of technological advancement these days, the setting in Monthly Boyfriend didn’t feel entirely unrealistic either, which I found interesting.

**Q: Do you usually enjoy quirky imagination or daydreaming?**

A: I don’t deliberately try to imagine things. But if a thought or fantasy suddenly comes to mind in daily life, I’ll briefly talk about it with the people around me and let it pass. I think moments like that have sometimes helped me understand a project better.

**Q: Can you share one recent imagination that stood out?**

A: I recently heard that something called “Dujjonku” is trending, and I thought, “Maybe I should create a new food and make it trend.”

**Q: If you could subscribe to a desired life in a virtual world like your character Seo Mirae in Boyfriend on Demand, what kind of day would you choose?**

A: I’d like to live a day I normally wouldn’t choose. For example, experiencing a day with an unfamiliar rhythm in a virtual world. Or maybe I’d like to become a puppy or a cat and live a day where I get praised just for eating my meals. (Laughs)

**Q: Do you have your own method for fully understanding a new project and character?**

>I read the script multiple times and keep thinking about the character. I continuously reflect on the emotions the character carries and try to empathize deeply. Before filming, I also talk with the director to gain insight. While filming Boyfriend on Demand, since Seo Mirae moves between reality and a virtual world, I thought it was important to make her emotions feel different in each space. I discussed that aspect with the director the most.
