"Sometimes you’re not ready to have your photo taken”- BLACKPINK's Lisa discusses lacking privacy as a celebrity figure

On Thursday, October 17, Rolling Stone released the Musicians on Musicians interview between BLACKPINK's Lisa and the South African singer-songwriter, Tyla. The two artists spent an interview session where they asked each other questions about their lives, careers, and more. At one point, Tyla asked Lisa if she had struggled with being well-known and recognizable in public.

Tyla asked, "Is it difficult being in the position that you are, being known by so many people?"

To this, the K-pop idol replied by stating that the lack of privacy is a major issue. She talked about how there are times when she'd want to have time for herself, without being surrounded by people trying to take pictures or interact with her. Therefore, she expressed that her position can sometimes become stressful due to the same.

Here's what she said:

"There’s no privacy. You can tell right now with you as well. If you go somewhere, people just put the phone right in front of your face. Sometimes you’re not ready to have your photo taken. Sometimes you want to be with a bare face, with your pajamas, go out and eat. That’s the thing that is a little tough for me sometimes, but I get used to it."
