BLACKPINK member Lisa is preparing for the release of her feature documentary, ‘Always Lalisa’, directed by Sue Kim. The film, which is scheduled for a world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 11, explores her transition from a trainee in South Korea to an international solo artist. It is scheduled for a limited IMAX and theatrical release on October 12, 2026, followed by streaming on YouTube Premium. Produced by Sony Music Vision in association with RCA Records, Tremolo Productions, Salt Water Productions, and Lisa’s own agency LLOUD CO, the film aims to provide an intimate look at her creative process and the pressures of maintaining a global public image. Tickets for the film are scheduled to go on sale starting September 9. A trailer released on September 9 reveals that the documentary will cover major milestones, including her work on the album ‘Alter Ego’, her solo performance at Coachella, her acting debut in HBO’s ‘The White Lotus’, her participation in the 2026 FIFA World Cup opening ceremony, and her role on the 2026 Met Gala host committee. The film also explores her relationship with her BLACKPINK bandmates, whom she describes as her ‘soul mates’. In connection with the documentary, Lisa has shared insights into the pressures of K-pop culture, specifically regarding dating. She noted that idols often hide relationships to avoid damaging their group’s popularity, stating, “In K-pop culture, we can’t date. If you’re seeing someone and you get caught by paparazzi, your popularity drops.” She further revealed that her track ‘Dream’, from her solo album ‘Alter Ego’, was inspired by a secret past relationship; she noted that she sought the individual’s permission to release the song, provided their identity remained anonymous. Lisa’s solo activities include the release of her new single ‘SaWaDiKa’, her upcoming EP ‘Press Play’, and her solo album ‘Alter Ego’. Her professional trajectory also includes an acting debut in HBO’s ‘The White Lotus’, upcoming Netflix projects, a performance at the 2026 FIFA World Cup opening ceremony, a planned Las Vegas residency, and expressed ambitions to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show. Regarding the future of BLACKPINK, Lisa indicated that while the members remain close, they are currently prioritizing individual solo careers.
