Lisa knows she always has the support of her BLACKPINK “sisters”.<\/p>\n
\nThe As If It’s Your Last hitmaker is joined in the K-pop group by Jennie, Jisoo and Ros\u00e9, and amid their various solo endeavours, there is no rivalry because they just want to see one another do well.<\/p>\n
\nLisa told E! News at the premiere of her documentary Always LaLisa at the Toronto International Film Festival: \u201cThey\u2019re like my sisters. They’re like my family. And of course, even though we are doing all solo stuff, we still text each other.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cAnd even though Always LaLisa is gonna be out soon, they texted me, and they’re like, \u2018Oh, can’t wait to watch it!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
\nLisa teased that the documentary will let fans see her work in ways they’ve never seen before.<\/p>\n
\nAsked what fans can expect from Always LaLisa, she said: \u201cThey [get] to see all the behind the scenes, like how I work. I hope they enjoy it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nThe 29-year-old singer was born Pranpriya Manobal but recently revealed she legally changed her first name to Lalisa – which translates to “one who is praised” in her native Thai – when she was 13 at the suggestion of a fortune teller, and she is still happy with her decision.<\/p>\n
\nShe said: \u201cIt\u2019s just me from the start. I feel like I’m always Lalisa from the start.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nThe White Lotus actress visited the fortune teller after auditioning to join the talent agency and record label YG Entertainment.<\/p>\n
\nShe told America’s Vanity Fair magazine in June: \u201cI don\u2019t know about the culture here, but in Thailand, it\u2019s fun to go see a fortune teller.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nAfter the woman suggested the name change, Lisa recalled she said: “You know what? I\u2019ll do anything.”<\/p>\n
\nIn 2025, Lisa admitted she feels proud of what she’s managed to achieve with BLACKPINK.<\/p>\n
\nShe told ELLE: “When I\u2019m onstage [with BLACKPINK], I share my energy with my members. If she gives 100, I\u2019ll give 120. We can feel each other. And I love that energy.”<\/p>\n
\nLisa has focused on her solo material in recent times, but she also remains committed to the girl group.<\/p>\n
\nShe explained: “Of course we\u2019re continuing, for sure.<\/p>\n
\n“We\u2019re so proud of BLACKPINK, and I love BLACKPINK. It is not just because of our fans, it\u2019s for ourselves. There was no doubt. This is our life.”<\/p>\n
\nLisa’s experience as a solo artist has helped her to become more decisive in recent years, too.<\/p>\n
\nShe shared: “I think what I\u2019ve learned from last time is me, myself, saying what I like and what I don\u2019t like.<\/p>\n
\n“I think that\u2019s the most important. Because if I say, \u2018Ah, it\u2019s okay,\u2019 [people] don\u2019t know – like, am I really okay with it? So I have to be able to say \u2018yes\u2019 or \u2018no.\u2019 Not in between.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lisa knows she always has the support of her BLACKPINK “sisters”.
