Lisa talks about BLACKPINK's future in a candid interview with ELLE US magazine

In a new interview with ELLE magazine, BLACKPINK’s Lisa opens up like never before, offering fans an intimate glimpse into her life, career, and personal growth.

Known for her magnetic stage presence and polished performances, Lisa reveals a more introspective side, discussing how she has learned to embrace her true self amidst the pressures of fame.

Through the interview, Lisa shared a bit about her true personality and explained, “To be honest, I’m not the type who’s really good at expressing my feelings. Lately, I feel more confident of what I think, and say it out loud.”

One way she found to express herself was through her solo career. ELLE magazine stated, “She’s drawing upon that voice as she enters a new chapter in her career, with new solo music and a co-headlining set at the Global Citizen Festival in New York on September 28, her first solo festival show.”

Lisa revealed she has learned a lot through her solo career and shared, “I think what I’ve learned from last time is me, myself, saying what I like and what I don’t like. 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.”

Lisa also opened up about her life as a BLACKPINK member, and assured fans that she will forever be promoting with BLACKPINK. 

ELLE magazine shared, “To Blackpink fans worried that the members’ solo pursuits mean an end to the group, Lisa offers reassurance. While she has parted ways with YG for her solo career (as have members Jennie, Jisoo, and Rosé), all four renewed their contracts for future work as a group. In July, YG founder Yang Hyun Suk teased a potential tour in 2025.”

Lisa added, “Of course, we’re continuing, for sure. We’re so proud of BLACKPINK, and I love BLACKPINK. It is not just because of our fans, it’s for ourselves. There was no doubt. This is our life.”
