Lisa talks about her evolving work approach and new creative ventures

While discussing her role in the upcoming season of White Lotus, the LALISA rapper said:

“I worked hard with my acting teacher to overcome it"

Lisa shared her aspiration to venture into the action genre for her next project. When suggested that a powerful character devoid of smiles, akin to the one portrayed in the Rockstar music video, would be a suitable fit for her, she declined the proposal and said:

“I smile too much for that."

The BLACKPINK member has joined the cast of the new season of White Lotus, a critically acclaimed and commercially successful black comedy series set. The show's previous seasons have won numerous awards, including Emmy and Golden Globe Awards. Bagging a role in White Lotus marked a significant milestone in Lisa's career.

In her recent interview with Vogue Korea, Lalisa Manobal also opened up about her upcoming projects and evolving work approach.

Despite her hectic schedule, the idol said that she has managed to find joy in the simple things in life.

“I’m happy even when I say hello to cats or eat salt bread. I’m grateful for the little things.” added the Louis Vuitton ambassador.

When discussing the concept of her song New Woman, the VMA-winning artist emphasized that the song represents confidence and independence.

"New Woman is confidence. I want this song to be with me when I wake up in the morning and reset myself to do today confidently. That's me. Every day is busy, but when I listen to 'New Woman,' I move on again," she shared.

Lisa acknowledged the unwavering support of her team and loved ones is instrumental in her progress. The rapper also expressed gratitude for the opportunity to collaborate with Spanish singer-songwriter Rosalia on the single. She cited Rosalia's performance at Coachella as a significant source of inspiration for herself and said:

"Everything Rosalia did was so intense and, above all, it looked perfectly prepared. Nothing was done half-heartedly. Even drinking water was like a performance....We were lucky enough to film a music video together. The energy she gave us on set was the best. She made us all go 'push!'"

Lisa discussed how her new management company, LLOUD, supported her bold vision in music and entertainment. During the interview, the 27-year-old shared that previously she had difficulty expressing her preferences in the workplace, as she was concerned about causing discomfort for others. However, she now places a high value on clear communication, a change that began around the time of the release of her 2021 solo project, LALISA.

She recalled, “In the past, it was difficult for me to express my feelings clearly. I was afraid that I would make the other person uncomfortable by saying things unnecessarily. But then, no one was satisfied with the result. So I realized that I had to clearly convey my opinion to get great results. They are all professionals.”

Furthermore, the Thai artist shared that she was preparing for her first solo festival performance at the Global Citizen Festival and working on her debut full-length album.
