There is Lisa, the confident pop star who speaks with ease about performing, acting, and making music. And there is Lalisa, her more private self: sweet, a little bashful, yet assured in what matters most to her—her health, her family, her privacy, and maintaining a boundary between her public image and her personal life.
And yet, the star insists those two versions of herself are not so different.
“Lisa or Lalisa, it’s still me.”

Acting was one of the things Lisa never imagined herself doing.
“When I was little, my mom wanted me to be a kid actor, and she sent me to an acting school,” she tells Vanity Fair. At the time, she wanted to dance.
Now, after more than a decade as a pop star, Lisa finds herself looking for new creative challenges. That search led her to audition for ‘The White Lotus,’ where she made her acting debut as Mook. Then, after wrapping Blackpink’s latest tour, she went on to film her first movie, ‘Tygo.’

“I feel like after I came out and talked about how there’s no privacy for me, [fans] now respect that a lot more,” Lisa tells Vanity Fair.
She loves her fans and loves meeting them in public spaces, “but they know that being in this position is not easy. Sometimes it’s just a little too much, and sometimes I just want to be normal.”
