And every single song has their own character, their own vibe and we combine it together. It\u2019s like a movie. So you just press play.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nSo far, fans have heard the opening track SaWaDiKa, which translates to Hello in her native language.<\/p>\n<p>\nPRESS PLAY is set for release on October 23.<\/p>\n<p>\nAs well as forging a successful music career, she&#8217;s also dabbled in acting with her debut in the third season of The White Lotus, however, Lisa insisted that she\u2019ll never leave BLACKPINK behind entirely.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe told Variety: \u201cIf I\u2019m 50, I still want to do BLACKPINK.

I\u2019m more confident now, so I want to share my story to fans who have a big dream like me.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cI hope that this could inspire them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nAlways Lalisa will hit cinemas on October 12.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"LISA&#8217;s upcoming solo EP PRESS PLAY is &#8220;like a movie&#8221; with each song having its own character.
