Lisa from Blackpink on Her Debut in “The White Lotus”: “I Had No Idea What to Expect on Set”

Lisa Blackpink’s Acting Debut

Lisa Blackpink opened up about her first time as an actress on the set of White Lotus Season 3 at the premiere.

Emotional Premiere Experience

Thai idol K-Pop was interviewed by Diversity at the premiere held at Paramount Studios in Hollywood on February 10, where she shared the anxiety she felt for the first time.

“This is my first acting experience, so I don’t know what to expect on the set, but everyone who supports me helped a lot. So thank you, that’s it,” she told The Outlet while recalling her rocky first shooting for the series. “I’m so nervous. I sweated. I said: ‘I cannot remember my lines.’ I am fixed.”

Lisa also mentioned that she shared her previous single “Rockstar” and her music video with her White Lotus team, explaining how she felt the result was due to the “supporting” environment. “We just share what we are doing,” she said. “They all support so much.”

In another part of the interview, Lisa expressed that she “does not know what to feel now” as the premiere of the season approaches on February 16. “I’m just so excited. I can’t wait until all you guys see this show,” she shared with The Outlet.

Upcoming Music Releases

Lisa recently released a new single in collaboration with Doja Cat and Raye titled “Born AGAIN,” which is the fourth track to be raised from her upcoming debut solo album “Alter Ego.” The full record is set to be released on February 28.

“Alter Ego” was first announced in November 2024, following a year during which she released three singles—“Rockstar,” “New Woman” featuring Rosalía, and the Lunar Paul collaboration—all of which will appear on the album.

“New Woman” was recognized by NME as one of the best 25 K-Pop songs of 2024. “From the charismatic performance of Rosalía to the cunning airiness of the preliminary choir, ‘New Woman’ has so much to offer, establishing itself effortlessly as one of the most intoxicating tracks of the year,” wrote NME’s Mika Chen.
