Lisa discussed her recent solo endeavor and her future with BLACKPINK in ELLE USA's September cover story.
ELLE USA's Instagram page shared multiple posts featuring Lisa of BLACKPINK. One of the posts from August 12 featured a quote from the idol, which informed the group's fans that she had no plans to leave the group and confirmed that BLACKPINK would continue:
"Of course we're continuing, for sure, We're so proud of Blackpink, and I love Blackpink. It is not just because of our fans, it's for ourselves" Lisa said.
In another September cover teaser, ELLE USA emphasizes Lisa's latest solo project, 'ROCKSTAR.' This endeavor was released as a partnership between RCA Records and Lisa's management company, Lloud. While speaking to ELLE, the singer highlighted that she could make creative decisions under her banner.
BLACKPINK's Lisa is seen in different looks for the story. For one image, she wore a long tee with a cat face on it, and in another, she looked stunning in a shiny silver and leather black outfit. She talked about her looks in the cover story:
"I'm into leather stuff. Big, big earrings. Silver accessories. When I wear it, I just feel like, Okay, I'm a rock star” the idol said.
For other cover photos, she also wore a red sequin dress, denim with boots, a chunky hoodie, and a golden mesh outfit.
Lisa also talked about her ROCKSTAR track choreography, her best memories with BLACKPINK members, and her favorite experiences on the sets of The White Lotus (her Hollywood acting debut). On June 28, she released her track, ROCKSTAR. Ever since the release of her single, the song has been breaking records and getting global attention.
Not only is BLACKPINK's Lisa the first Asian artist to grace a September cover for ELLE magazine in the thirty-nine years since the American edition's inception, but she is also the first K-pop solo musician on the cover with a solo feature. The September issues of magazines are widely regarded as the most important since they are released simultaneously with fashion weeks in major cities across the world.
