BLACKPINK member Jisoo / Captured from Jisoo's SNS

BLACKPINK's Jisoo has made her long-awaited solo comeback after two years with her new album “Amortage.”

Her latest solo album, “Amortage,” marks her first release since the solo debut track “Flower” two years ago. The album's title, a combination of the Spanish word for love, “amor” and the cinematic montage technique, reflects Jisoo's storytelling and artistic evolution, as she participated in writing all the tracks.

This album holds special significance as it is her first release since leaving YG Entertainment and launching her own one-person agency. To meet the expectations of fans who have awaited her solo career, Jisoo has been actively promoting the album and engaging with them through various activities.

On Feb. 16, she performed on SBS' “Inkigayo,” offering fans a long-anticipated stage with the title track “Earthquake.” However, it wasn't just the music that grabbed attention — her preppy look styling became a hot topic among fans.

Surprisingly, Jisoo's preppy outfit was entirely composed of mid-priced brands. The bodysuit she wore was priced at approximately 60,000 won ($45), while the pleated skirt was from a domestic emerging designer brand, costing around 100,000 won. Her polished preppy look was completed with black loafers from a Swedish SPA brand, priced at about 50,000 won.

While her clothing remained within an affordable range, Jisoo elevated her ensemble with luxurious accessories from a high-end jewelry brand, for which she serves as an ambassador. She adorned herself with a wristwatch worth over 20 million won, a ring priced over1 million won and a bracelet valued at a staggering 30 million won range.

By skillfully blending mid-range fashion with high-end luxury, Jisoo once again proved her influence in both music and style, leaving fans eager for her next move.
