BLACKPINK's global icon, Lisa, is finally getting her moment in the spotlight as her long-awaited documentary highlighting her investigations over the past year has recently been confirmed by Sony Music Vision. Directed by award-winning filmmaker Sue Kim, the documentary has been confirmed, although the title and release date have yet to be finalized. Unlike other documentaries, this feature will take a deeper look at Lisa as a solo artist, interspersed with commentary and moments from her journey while Blackpink takes a break. Included in this documentary will be her debut solo album, Alter Ego, as well as her historic Coachella performance in April.
A Glimpse Into the Real Lisa: Beyond the Stage
But what makes this documentary so distinct is its exploration of Lisa off-stage. Director Sue Kim expressed the utmost admiration for Lisa’s humility, stating that despite her global celebrity, the Thai-born artist’s humanness shines through. “She calls herself a normal girl from Thailand — and she is!” said Kim. Conversely, this somewhat raw and authentic lens is difficult to reconcile against the glittery, glamorous world of K-pop superstardom. However, it is the realness that the world wants to see. As all BLACKPINK members embark on solo projects, Lisa’s story offers something uniquely inspiring — the story of staying true to yourself in one of the toughest industries in the world.
Fans Await an Intimate Look at Lisa’s Artistic Vision
Most importantly, the new documentary is expected to provide a personal glimpse into Lisa's development as an artist and a person. It will differ from her 2020 group documentary BLACKPINK: Light Up the Sky by providing behind-the-scenes materials and stories, as well as offering an up-close and personal look at Lisa's creative process. Even though Lisa's progression is a part of BLACKPINK's journey as a whole with new solo music from her colleagues Rosé, Jennie, and Jisoo, the latest project represents the growth of Lisa's impact in music, fashion, and global pop culture — and fans around the globe are eager to catch the next chapter unfold.
