Lisa (Blackpink)'s official YouTube channel has just released the official trailer for the documentary "Always Lalisa", revealing the journey from a girl passionate about dancing to a global K-pop star.
In the revealed images, Lisa spends a lot of time talking about Blackpink. Looking back at a decade of accompanying Jennie, Jisoo and Rosé, Lisa calls the members her confidants. Behind-the-scenes images show the close relationship between the four members, and also show that Blackpink still holds a special position in Lisa's journey even though each person is pursuing their own activities.
Besides the positive moments, Lisa also mentioned the downside of life with a tight schedule. Behind the glory, Lisa admitted that Blackpink's life is not always easy. The female singer said that the group has almost no days off since their debut. A continuous schedule and pressure from outside have forced her to balance between the desire to try her best and the need for rest many times.
These shares help "Always Lalisa" expand the story beyond the stage and Lisa's achievements. The film focuses on the period when the female singer gradually escaped the familiar image of a Blackpink member to build her personal mark in music, fashion and acting.
Lisa also mentioned her experience participating in the "The White Lotus" series. This is a notable step forward in the process of expanding her activities into acting, while helping the female singer reach more international audiences besides music.
The film records a special period when Blackpink spend more time on personal activities. During this time, Lisa released her debut solo album "Alter Ego", participated in "The White Lotus" and prepared for a performance at Coachella. Those experiences contributed to shaping Lisa's image as an independent artist.
If Blackpink is the place that brought Lisa to global fame, her solo career puts her in front of a new challenge: asserting herself when not standing next to the other three members. This is also one of the important stories exploited by "Always Lalisa", from career pressure to Lisa's process of self-defining her artistic path.
At the end of the trailer, Lisa attracted attention when she said she was still in the process of looking for a new version of herself and affirmed that "the world is not ready" for that. This statement shows that the female singer not only looks back at the past but also wants to aim for changes in the future.
Always Lalisa" is scheduled to be released in cinemas and IMAX worldwide from October 12 within a limited time. After that, the film will be exclusively released on YouTube Premium at the end of the year. The work is directed by Sue Kim and was selected to be screened at the Toronto International Film Festival 2026.
