Documentary film following Blackpink singer Lisa is now out in cinemas

Kpop music and bands' popularity has increased hugely over recent years, and one of the biggest groups around is Blackpink, who dropped their mini album 'Deadline' earlier this year.

Now, a documentary film about Blackpink member and solo artist Lisa, has arrived in cinemas. The film, titled Always Lalisa, has a limited release around the world in standard cinemas and IMAX, following the singer as she works on her solo career.

What is the film about?

The synopsis for the film reads: 'A feature-length documentary following a pivotal year in LISA’s life, as, for the first time since childhood, she steps away from BLACKPINK for a year of independence and self-discovery.'

The YouTube description adds: 'The film follows LISA as she writes, records, and releases her debut solo album, Alter Ego, makes her acting debut in the third season of The White Lotus, and prepares for her first major solo performance at the 2025 Coachella Music Festival.

'Born and raised in Thailand, LISA left home at fourteen to train in South Korea's demanding K-pop system, ultimately rising to global superstardom. But forging her own path, particularly in the Western music market, brings new pressures, relentless scrutiny, and the challenge of redefining herself on her own terms.'
