In September, Blackpink’s Lisa made waves with her solo outing, hitting the stage at the MTV VMAs 2024. For fans, it was a moment of achievement, but to online commenters, it raised one major question: Had she lip-synced? Lisa spoke to Vanity Fair in a recent interview all about that major stage moment, but didn’t exactly address the lip-sync controversy.
Looking back on the performance, Lisa let on how nerves hit her particularly hard before hitting the stage solo, which is in contrast to the group shows she has performed in with BLACKPINK. “I was shaking before I went onstage. I don’t know if it was because the backstage was cold, or if I was nervous… but I think I was nervous!” she said, acknowledging just how big the moment was.
Lisa emphasized that in taking risks in her career, she needed to trust her intuition. “When I’m taking a risk, I always just believe in my gut! If my heart, my body, and my mind all tell me that I have to do this, I’ll just go for it,” she said. She also expressed her gratefulness for the continued support from her family and friends because, for whatever decisions she makes, they are always there to support her, even if they don’t feel good about such decisions.
While Lisa’s music career is high in flight, she is also gearing up for her international acting debut with the third season of The White Lotus, which is set in Thailand. She was to essay the role of a local in the series-be fitting for her roots. The recently released trailer has excited the fans no end, and Lisa added with a grin that through this show, she can finally spend time at home with mom.
