Lisa, the reigning queen of bangs and boss energy, has taken the mic solo—and she’s dishing on the thrilling chaos of stepping out from under BLACKPINK’s glittery umbrella.
The 27-year-old K-pop superstar turned fearless solo adventurer is embracing her “main character” energy this year with new music and a surprise acting debut in the upcoming season of The White Lotus. Yes, Lisa in a dramatic resort mystery. We’re already asking HBO for the release date.
But let’s rewind. Taking the leap wasn’t all glitz and glam.
“At first, I was scared and nervous,” Lisa confessed to Billboard. “Like, Hello, spotlight, do we have to be this bright? But now? I’m having a blast.”
Turns out, her fans are the secret sauce to her confidence glow-up.
“When my singles dropped, and the fans went wild, I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, I’m not just winging it—I’m actually good!’” she gushed. Healing power of fandom? Check.
As for her solo tracks, Lisa’s not trying to be a one-woman K-pop machine. She’s leaving that superhero energy to someone else.
“I’m not sitting in a candlelit room with a quill pen writing every lyric,” she joked. “In BLACKPINK, I rap like my life depends on it, but now I’m out here flexing that I can do more. You’re welcome.”
Her solo vibe? Loose, edgy, and serving major grown-up realness.
“We’re not rookies anymore. I’m 27—basically knocking on 30’s door,” she said with a laugh. “I’m still young, but let’s get flexible with this image, people. I’m doing my thing, and as long as no one’s crying, we’re good.”
But don’t worry—BLACKPINK isn’t going anywhere. The girls are her ride-or-die crew.
“We’re like that group chat you can’t mute,” Lisa said. “When Jennie and Rosie dropped their tracks, we were texting, FaceTiming, throwing virtual high-fives. We’re family—it’s love and bops all the way.”
And the future? BLACKPINK is back in 2025, baby.
“BLACKPINK is part of who we are,” Lisa said. “We’re out here smashing solo goals and planning to dominate together. Why pick one when you can have it all?”
Lisa is thriving, the BLACKPINK bond is unbreakable, and the future is just as pink as ever. Mic drop.
