In a whirlwind of excitement, BLACKPINK’s Lisa is gearing up for the launch of her highly anticipated album, “Alter Ego,” set to drop on February 28. Just days before the release, Lisa treated her fans to an intimate live session on Bubble, where she shared her heartfelt journey and the immense effort behind her latest project.
During the live stream on February 25, Lisa opened up about her year-long dedication to the album, revealing how she traveled the globe to craft and refine her music. With palpable enthusiasm, she expressed her eagerness for fans to finally experience the fruits of her labor. “I hope you guys love this album as much as I do,” she said, showcasing her genuine connection to the work.
In a playful twist, Lisa revealed her character from the hit series “The White Lotus,” humorously admitting her struggle to watch herself on screen. Her character, Moo—meaning “pearls” in Thai—was a delightful nod to her persona, as she sported pearls throughout the series. Fans were also treated to a sneak peek of “Alter Ego” merchandise, including custom t-shirts and photo books, with Lisa jokingly commenting on her own favorite album version.
One of the most exciting moments was the unveiling of her new light stick, designed in a striking five-pointed star shape. However, concerns were raised about its sharp edges, prompting fans to hope for modifications before its official debut. Additionally, Lisa shared snippets of her songs, including a lively performance of her collaboration with Megan Thee Stallion, “Rapunzel,” further heightening anticipation for the album.
The mood shifted when Lisa addressed a comment about an album leak, her disappointment evident as she processed the news. Fans quickly rallied in support, condemning the leak, which reportedly stemmed from a shipping error by RCA Records. Despite the mishap, they emphasized that early access to the album should not come at the cost of respecting Lisa’s hard work.
In another thrilling announcement, Lisa confirmed her performance at the upcoming Oscars, making her the first K-pop artist to take the prestigious stage. While she teased that she would not be performing “Born Again,” she hinted at a surprise that has fans buzzing with excitement. As speculation swirls about her performance, many are eager to see what Lisa has in store.
Meanwhile, fellow BLACKPINK member Jennie is also making waves with her upcoming album, “Ruby,” featuring the title track “Handlebars.” Reports suggest that both songs will receive performance videos, adding to the anticipation surrounding their releases.
As March approaches, BLACKPINK members are set to take Paris by storm for the Women’s Wear Fall/Winter 2025-2026 fashion shows. With appearances lined up at prestigious events like the Dior and Chanel shows, fans can expect to see their favorite idols gracing the front rows.
With so much happening in the world of BLACKPINK, fans are left wondering what other surprises lie ahead for Lisa and Jennie. What are you most excited to see from them next?
