LISA shared that she once recorded herself singing a Bruno Mars song for a monthly evaluation at YG. although her vocal coach was very impressed with her voice, one of the YG mentors told her that she should focus on rap.
the situation made LISA start to doubt her own ability as a singer. out of fear of being eliminated, she ended up setting aside her passion for singing and began dedicating herself almost exclusively to rap.
that episode marked her for years and also influenced her trajectory as a solo artist. today, however, she feels much more confident to explore different sides of her art.
after the end of her one-year break, she returned to South Korea with the fear of being placed back into a “box” by YG.
LISA made it clear how much she values her artistic freedom and this time, she doesn't want to give it up.
“Alice talked about how frustrating the leak was and how she knew Lisa would be disappointed. As soon as they found out, they had everyone working on reporting all the leaks.
Lisa also talked about the leak and said she doesn’t understand why people leak things without considering the artist. She said she hopes the person who leaked her album never does that to anyone again.“
