BLACKPINK's Jisoo Becomes the First Korean Singer on a Main Cover of Vogue China
BLACKPINK's Jisoo fronts the November 2026 issue of Vogue China, which Korean outlets including SPOTV News report makes her the first Korean singer to land an official cover of the magazine's main edition.
BLACKPINK's Jisoo is the cover star of Vogue China's November 2026 issue. The magazine revealed the cover images on its official Instagram, and Korean outlets SPOTV News and Media Fine report that the issue makes her the first Korean singer to appear on an official cover of the main Chinese edition. They add that she is only the second non-Chinese singer to do so, after Billie Eilish.
The pictorial moves away from Jisoo's usual bright, lovely image, using retro lighting and sets for a more mature, mysterious mood, according to the reports. SPOTV News notes that she has already covered the Korean, French and Hong Kong editions of Vogue, and that her March 2023 solo Vogue France cover was a first for a K-pop artist.
Jisoo is a global ambassador for Dior, Cartier, Tommy Hilfiger and Salomon. The cover follows the Nov. 8 news that she signed with WME for worldwide representation.
