Behind the music and performance
Always Lalisa offers an unscripted look at the artist beyond the stadium lights. Directed by Sue Kim, the film follows a pivotal year in LISA’s life, as she steps away from BLACKPINK for a year of independence for the first time since childhood. With the clock ticking before her return to the group, LISA confronts the fear and pressure of launching a solo career with her debut album Alter Ego, her solo Coachella debut, pursuing acting and landing her first role in The White Lotus, and her own company, LLOUD.
She gives fans an opportunity to see her in a vulnerable light, as she yearns to maintain a personal life beyond the spotlight. Whether you've followed her from the very beginning or are just discovering her work, the film offers an inspiring look at the artistry behind the star.
