Blackpink’s Lisa is poised to make waves in the world of Hollywood as she gears up for her acting debut in the acclaimed American series, The White Lotus.

The K-pop sensation will follow in the footsteps of her bandmate Jennie Ruby Jane, stepping onto the HBO stage and igniting excitement amongst fans worldwide.

According to Variety’s latest report, Lisa will grace the screen under her full name, Lalisa Manobal, adding a touch of her flair to the eagerly awaited third season of the hit show. While details of her character remain shrouded in mystery, anticipation mounts as viewers speculate on the role she will embody amidst the intrigue of exotic resorts.

With production set to kick off in the scenic locales of Koh Samui, Phuket, and Bangkok this month, Lisa’s Hollywood journey is primed to take off amidst picturesque backdrops and gripping narratives. This groundbreaking venture comes hot on the heels of news that all Blackpink members have inked fresh deals with YG Entertainment Inc., catapulting excitement levels to new heights and fuelling a surge in the company’s stocks.

Lisa’s venture into acting follows in the footsteps of Jennie, who left her mark on the small screen with her appearance in the HBO drama The Idol last year alongside Lily-Rose Dep., proving that Blackpink’s talents transcend the realms of music, reported Bangkok Post.

Earlier this year, Blackpink achieved yet another milestone by clinching a Guinness World Record for commanding the most-viewed music channel on YouTube, boasting a staggering 90 million subscribers.

Parker Posey, Jason Isaacs, Leslie Bibb, Michelle Monaghan, Dom Hetrakul, and Tayme Thapthimthong are set to join the gripping drama, promising an explosive mix of talent and intrigue.

In related news, the Thai government announced plans to showcase a series of Thai films at various international film festivals, commencing with six films at the Osaka Asian Film Festival in March. This was revealed by Paetongtarn Shinawatra, leader of the Pheu Thai Party and Chairwoman of the National Committee on Soft Power Development.
