Lisa of BLACKPINK is making waves with her highly anticipated acting debut in The White Lotus season 3, an exciting milestone in her multifaceted career. On January 28, 2025, the production team unveiled the trailer for the new season, offering a first glimpse of Lisa’s character, Mook, and sparking a frenzy among fans eager to see the K-pop star take on this new role.
The trailer shows Lisa stepping into the shoes of a hotel employee at the luxury resort in Thailand, warmly greeting guests, including Posey and her wealthy husband, Timothy Ratliff. With a bright smile, Mook says, “I hope you enjoy Thailand,” marking a charming introduction to her character. Later, Mook appears again in a serene moment, performing a traditional dance with a colleague.
As the drama of The White Lotus season 3 unfolds, chaos erupts at the resort, with storylines involving financial ruin, a masked gunman robbing a luxury store, and a conflicted security guard grappling with the harsh realities of his job. Lisa’s Mook provides a moment of wisdom, advising the guard in Thai, “You have to be stronger than this to do this job,” hinting at the depth of her character.
This acting debut is the latest step in Lisa’s illustrious career. Known globally as a member of BLACKPINK, she launched her solo career in 2021 with her single album Lalisa, which became a massive hit, earning accolades like the MTV Video Music Award for Best K-Pop in 2022.
In 2023, Lisa made headlines after parting ways with YG Entertainment to pursue individual ventures, although she remains part of BLACKPINK and continues group activities under the agency. In 2024, she launched her own agency, Lloud, and released several hits, including ROCKSTAR, New Woman featuring Rosalía, and Moonlit Floor.
Beyond music, Lisa’s influence continues to expand. In 2024, she delivered a stunning performance at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show alongside Tyla and Cher. Fans are now eagerly awaiting her first full-length solo album, ALTER EGO, set to release on February 7, 2025.
