260429 Special interview with JISOO! What are her thoughts on Dior’s new lipstick and her drama project? | ELLE Japan

> What are the charms of the reborn “Dior Addict”?

> On May 1st, 2026, the highly anticipated new lipstick from the immensely popular “Dior Addict” line will be released. This gloss-in-lipstick, which combines the shine of a gloss with the color payoff of a lipstick, brings a new level of brilliance to the series. To commemorate the start of this new chapter for “Dior Addict,” we conducted a special interview with Dior Makeup Creative & Image Director Peter Philips and Dior Ambassador JISOO, who visited Seoul. What do they say about the appeal of this ultra-shine new lipstick?

> Peter describes the appeal of the new product, “Dior Addict Glass Lipstick,” as Caring, Shining, and Irresistible. “Even the word ‘Shining’ has so many nuances. Dior offers lip products that are glossy like oil, and others that have a strong shine like ‘Backstage,’ each with its own distinct look. This lipstick is unique in that it sits right in the middle. It has a finish that’s somewhere between a gloss and a lipstick, but unlike traditional glosses that emphasize a sexy shine, it offers a new texture that is more natural, fresh, and comfortable to wear as an extension of everyday life.”

> Furthermore, its innovative formula, which is 90% oil-based, is infused with hyaluronic acid, making it designed to provide both attractive lips and care at the same time. It gives an elegant and feminine impression, while simultaneously exuding confidence. (Peter Philips)

> “My favorite color is 306 Rose Charm, which I’m wearing today. It’s a translucent nude rose color that brightens my skin tone and gives me that pure, healthy look that’s on-trend lately. I use various colors, not just this one, but I like that it has good color payoff even with just one coat and doesn’t easily become patchy.” (JISOO)

> The new lipstick, which delivers a fresh, radiant shine and bold color, is said to be a mood booster even amidst busy days. “In my private life, I often just put on sunscreen, but even then, it blends in so well that I find myself reaching for it often. When I look in the mirror and feel a little tired, like when I’m going to the gym, just one swipe brightens my complexion and makes me feel more positive. It also goes very well with natural makeup, so I always keep about three colors in my bag and use them depending on my mood and condition that day. I usually enjoy taking walks, but now, with the changing of the seasons, it feels especially nice to walk outside. I was taking a walk yesterday, and the cherry blossoms that were in full bloom just a few days ago had already turned green, and it was so beautiful.” (JISOO)

> Speaking of JISOO, the most memorable thing about her recently is the Netflix drama “Monthly Boyfriend.” She said that she challenged herself with a variety of expressions in playing the character of Seo Mi-rae, who moves between reality and virtual reality.

> “Since my character moved between reality and virtual reality, I prepared a lot of different fashion, makeup, and hairstyles to show a variety of looks. In particular, I struggled a lot with how to portray Seo Mi-rae in the real world rather than her glamorous appearance in the virtual world, and I even paid attention to the length of her hair to make her a character that viewers could relate to. I myself am the same age as Seo Mi-rae and have similar worries, so there were parts of her that I could relate to. I was inspired by her not being afraid to try again even after experiencing failure, and how she overcame it, and I think many people were able to relate to her as well. I acted with the hope that by showing her overcoming her fears and conquering them, I could give confidence to the viewers as well.” (JISOO)
