\n\tFor her next solo EP, LISA<\/a> wants BLINKS to soak up the experience, sit back, and relax. Just like at the movies. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe superstar BLACKPINK<\/a> singer stopped by The Tonight Show<\/a> Starring Jimmy Fallon for a glimpse behind the curtain of her forthcoming collection, PRESS PLAY, due out Oct. 23.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThis EP is about my journey from my roots to where I am right now today,\u201d the Thailand-born artist tells Fallon. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of Thai elements in the songs as well, in the EP. 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

\n\tThe first of six tracks lifted from PRESS PLAY is \u201cSaWaDiKa,\u201d or \u201cHello\u201d in her mother tongue. \u201cSaWaDiKa\u201d dropped earlier this month and notched more than 70 million views on YouTube in just 24 hours, \u201ccrazy\u201d numbers she admits in her late-night interview, which aired Wednesday night, Sept. 16. \u201cSaWaDiKa\u201d crashed the Billboard Hot 100, with a peak position of No. 69. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe full tracklist for PRESS PLAY has yet to be announced, although LISA admitted track four is the next single and begins with the letter T. Thailand perhaps? \u201cIt\u2019s a surprise for my fans,\u201d she teases.<\/p>\n

\n\tLike many of us, LISA had a fallback in case her K-pop career didn\u2019t pan out. Her Plan B, she recounts to Fallon, was to be a dance teacher or to work as a performer, perhaps in a princess costume, at Disneyland.<\/p>\n

\n\tNo need. LISA\u2019s Plan A is very much working out.<\/p>\n

\n\tAside from her dynamite pop music career, LISA is the subject of the feature documentary Always Lalisa<\/a>. Directed by Sue Kim, Always Lalisa will open in global cinemas and IMAX on Oct. 12 before it heads to streaming on YouTube Premium later in the year. Tickets for the screenings will go on sale Sept. 9 via the film\u2019s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tAlso, LISA made history as the first K-pop artist to hold a Las Vegas residency, with her four-show VIVA LA LISA run at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, from Nov. 13\u201314 and Nov. 27\u201328, 2026. Tickets reportedly sold out in fewer than 10 minutes. She hasn\u2019t yet begun rehearsals, she tells Fallon, \u201cbut I\u2019m going to start soon. I can\u2019t wait.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThis is LISA\u2019s year. She graced the stage of the 2026 FIFA World Cup opening ceremony where she hit \u201cGoals\u201d alongside Anitta and Rema, becoming the first female K-pop and Thai artist to perform at soccer\u2019s showpiece tournament. She also covered Vanity Fair\u2019s Summer 2026 issue; served on the 2026 Met Gala host committee as the first K-pop artist in that role; presented at the 2026 Golden Globes; made her acting debut in HBO\u2019s The White Lotus; and is confirmed for two Netflix projects, one sees her starring in and executive producing the action film TYGO, the other an untitled romantic comedy currently in development.<\/p>\n
