Lisa from BLACKPINK is taking over Hollywood, and fans are absolutely here for it!
Not only did she just make her highly anticipated acting debut in The White Lotus, but now, she’s about to hit the stage at the Academy Awards.
And if you’re wondering why the official Oscars Instagram account suddenly started following her—well, that mystery has been solved!
Lisa, who already dominates the music industry, is proving she’s just as powerful in the world of film and television.
Let’s break down everything that’s been happening with Lisa, from her White Lotus debut to her huge Oscars moment.
It all started when fans noticed something interesting—The Academy (yes, the Oscars) had followed Lisa on Instagram.
Naturally, this led to major speculation. Was it because of her acting? Could she be up for some kind of recognition?
Well, soon enough, the real reason was revealed: Lisa is set to perform at this year’s Academy Awards!
She’ll be sharing the stage with some of music’s biggest names, including Doja Cat, Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, Queen Latifah, and RAYE.
The Oscars are going all out this year with “showstopping performances,” and Lisa is officially part of that elite lineup.
Lisa’s fans—always quick to catch a clue—had already been speculating something was up when the Oscars Instagram followed her.
Some even predicted she might perform! And now, it’s official—Lisa is set to take the stage at one of Hollywood’s biggest nights.
This marks a massive moment for Lisa, as she continues to break boundaries and cement herself as a global entertainment powerhouse.
Lisa has been a superstar for years, but The White Lotus marks her first step into the world of acting—and she absolutely nailed it!
She plays Mook, a “health consultant” working at the luxurious White Lotus resort in Thailand, where Season 3 is set.
At the show’s premiere, Lisa admitted she was incredibly nervous about acting for the first time.
“It is my first acting [experience], so I don’t know what to expect on set,” she told Variety. “But everybody just being so supportive helped me a lot. So thank you, everyone.”
She also revealed that on her first day of filming, she was so anxious that she blanked on her lines!
“I was like, ‘I can’t remember my lines!’ I was sweating. I was so nervous.”
Despite her nerves, Lisa has been receiving tons of praise for her performance.
Fans, critics, and even The Academy have taken notice of her talent, making it clear that this could be just the beginning of her Hollywood career.
Lisa’s involvement in The White Lotus is extra special because it allows her to showcase her home country, Thailand, on a global stage.
She has always been passionate about representing Thai culture, and this show is the perfect opportunity for that.
Speaking to Elle, she called the show’s creator, Mike White, a “genius” and revealed how emotional she was when she got the part.
“I cried when I found out! I was with my friends, my mom’s friends, and my mom as well, but I didn’t tell them that I auditioned for it,” she admitted.
Lisa also pointed out that filming The White Lotus reminded her of shooting music videos, saying,
“It’s pretty new to me, but I think it’s similar to shooting music videos… I’m excited for my fans to see it. I feel like people are going to fall in love with Thailand even more.”
With The White Lotus known for its stunning cinematography and cultural deep dives, Lisa’s role is a perfect match.

Lisa’s loyal BLINKs (her fandom) have been celebrating non-stop since her White Lotus debut and the Oscars performance announcement.
When BuzzingPop on X (formerly Twitter) first pointed out that the Academy followed Lisa, fans immediately flooded social media with theories and excitement.
Some of the best fan reactions include:
It turns out that the last prediction was spot on! Fans had a feeling Lisa might be performing, and they were right!
Lisa has already conquered the music world with BLACKPINK, and now she’s proving she’s a force to be reckoned with in acting and live performance.
Could this mean more Hollywood roles in the future? A lead role in a film? Maybe even an Oscar nomination someday?
Fans will just have to wait and see. One thing is for sure—Lisa is making history.
From K-pop icon to rising actress to Oscars performer, she’s showing the world that she’s unstoppable. And this is just the beginning.
