Lisa, the global sensation from BLACKPINK, graces the cover of ELLE’s September 2024 issue, marking a pivotal moment in her career. While her previous solo release, “Lalisa,” was met with undeniable success, her new solo project feels like a reintroduction—a chance to unveil the full extent of her rock-star spirit. Released under a partnership between RCA Records and her own management company, Lloud Co., this project is more than just music; it’s a statement.
The cover story captures Lisa as she steps into her authentic self, shedding her previous image in favor of something edgier and more reflective of her true self. “I’m into leather stuff,” she shares, describing her new aesthetic. “Big, big earrings. Silver accessories. When I wear it, I just feel like, ‘Okay, I’m a rock star.’ I’m going to walk like a rock star. I’m going to sit like a rock star.” This bold transformation isn’t just skin deep; it signals a shift in how she wants to present herself to the world, both musically and stylistically.
Despite her solo pursuits, Lisa is quick to reassure BLACKPINK fans that the group’s journey is far from over. Although she and her bandmates Jennie, Jisoo, and Rosé have parted ways with YG Entertainment for their solo careers, all four have renewed their contracts for future work as a group. In fact, YG founder Yang Hyun-suk hinted at a potential BLACKPINK tour in 2025. “Of course we’re continuing, for sure,” Lisa affirms. “We’re so proud of BLACKPINK, and I love BLACKPINK. It is not just because of our fans, it’s for ourselves.” Switching to Korean, she adds, “There was no doubt. This is our life.”
The article delves into Lisa’s journey of self-discovery, particularly in the realm of creative decision-making. “I think what I’ve learned from last time is me, myself, saying what I like and what I don’t like,” she explains, emphasizing the importance of being decisive. “I think that’s the most important. Because if I say, ‘Ah, it’s okay,’ [people] don’t know—like, am I really okay with it? So I have to be able to say ‘yes’ or ‘no.’ Not in between.” This newfound confidence is evident in every aspect of her new project, from the music to the visuals, and it’s clear that Lisa is taking full control of her artistic narrative.
In addition to her musical endeavors, Lisa is also making waves in the acting world with her upcoming debut in The White Lotus. The cover story teases her excitement about this new chapter in her career, hinting at the challenges and rewards of stepping into a different kind of spotlight. For fans eager to see another side of Lisa, her role in The White Lotus promises to be a revelation, showcasing her versatility and expanding her influence.
With her solo project set to shake up the music scene and her acting debut on the horizon, Lisa’s cover feature in ELLE’s September 2024 issue captures a star at the height of her powers, confidently forging her own path.
