BLACKPINK's Lisa has finally made her acting debut with The White Lotus season 3, portraying the role of a resort employee named Mook. The season premiered on HBO Max on February 16, 2025. New episodes of the show will be released every Sunday.
BLACKPINK's Lisa's role as Mook in the show was an instant hit amongst the fans. Several clips from the show went viral, and fans had a variety of reactions to bestow upon the singer's debut. One X user wrote:

In the short clip, fans see Mook stranded on a road as her scooter breaks down. Gaitok, the resort's security guard, arrives to help her and offers her a ride. Gaitok flirts with Mook as they hop onto Gaitok's bike and head towards their destination.
All this time, both of them are speaking in fluent Thai. They are dressed in their work uniforms, and the scenery also has a sepia tone to it, perhaps owing to the cloudy weather then.
"Her first scene as MOOK.. someone pinch me," a user wrote.
"I'm crying..she's good...lisa pls take more acting gig," a fan replied.
"I f*cking love how acting is just so natural for her especially when she's speaking in her home language it's beautiful," a fan commented.
Fans were also quick to spot the yellow-toned visuals in the frame. The White Lotus tells the story of a bunch of Western tourists who stay in The White Lotus resorts. Currently, the location of the show and the resort is in Thailand.
"The third world country filter," a user wrote.
"call me corny but i just got teary eyed watching her," a fan replied.
"The simple clothes, the acting, the place, aaaaaa this feels so new yet so warm," a user replied.
