In a podcast "In Your Dreams with Owen Thiele", Lisa was asked about the possibility of the four members continuing to appear together in the future. The youngest member of Blackpink said that after the tour earlier this year, the members needed to spend time on personal plans. However, this did not affect the bond between them.
Currently, we are all focusing on our solo careers. We just finished the tour at the beginning of the year, so now we also need to spend time on our own activities. But when each person has achieved their own desires, we will come back to be together again," Lisa shared.
The female idol born in 1997 calls Jisoo, Jennie and Rosé her family and best friends. She said the four members still maintain a common chat group and are in regular contact. The night before participating in the podcast, the members still texted in the group.
I'm with the group even more than my family," Lisa said.
Recalling her early years in Korea, Lisa said that Jisoo was one of the people who supported her the most when she had to adapt to a new life. Lisa joined YG Entertainment at the age of 14 after passing a selection of about 4,000 contestants. At that time, she did not know Korean and had to start learning this language to communicate.
Lisa said she used to spend about two hours a day learning Korean for many years. Jisoo was her first roommate in the dormitory and often helped Lisa practice after school.
When she was a trainee, weekends were usually when members returned home to their families. However, Jisoo sometimes stayed in the dormitory to spend time with Lisa. The two took the subway together, strolled around the streets and chatted even though Lisa's Korean language ability was still limited at that time.
Unable to communicate entirely by language, they use images to understand each other. Lisa showed Jisoo pictures of her childhood before coming to Korea, and Jisoo also shared her photos. Simple activities helped Lisa have another companion during the early days away from her family.
From the days when they were trainees, Lisa, Jisoo, Jennie and Rosé went through a training process before Blackpink debuted. After many years of activity, the four members are now developing in their own directions but still maintaining personal relationships.
In the conversation, Lisa also mentioned her journey to build a solo career. She founded Lloud with the desire to be more proactive in the creative process, from ideas, lyrics to music production. With the MV "SaWaDiKa", the female singer spent three days filming in Thailand and brought many homeland cultural elements into the product.
In parallel with music, Lisa continues to work in acting. After participating in "The White Lotus" season 3, she said she has completed filming the action movie "Taigo" in Korea and Jakarta, Indonesia.
Regarding personal plans, Lisa revealed that she will have a series of performances in Las Vegas (USA) in November. One of the big goals she aims for in the future is to perform at the Super Bowl Halftime Show.
Although spending a lot of time on her solo career, Lisa shows that the connection with Blackpink is still maintained. For the female singer, temporary private activity is a time for each member to pursue personal goals, before all four continue to accompany when the time is right.
