She later returned to the runway for a second performance of ‘Moonlit Floor’, this time wearing black lace lingerie and a dramatic pair of gold floral wings. The following year, the singer performed as a solo artist at Coachella 2025; fellow member Jennie also performed at the same event. Lisa’s solo performance in the Sahara tent was highly anticipated and praised for its high energy, ‘five-star choreography’, and edgy stage style, where she performed hits like ‘Rockstar’, ’Money’, ‘Thunder’ and ‘Dream'. She demonstrated her vocal range and stage presence, making a clear mark as an independent artist.  She made her acting debut in HBO’s The White Lotus Season 3, playing Mook, a hotel employee in the Thailand-set storyline. The comedy-drama created by Mike White is a satirical anthology series that follows the lives of wealthy guests and staff at luxury resorts, exposing privilege, dysfunction, and human flaws. Li- sa’s storyline intertwines with other characters, includ- ing Gaitok (played by Tayme Thapthimthong), who is infatuated with her. The budding actress described the experience as “not easy” but transformative. She admitted that auditioning was challenging, yet she felt compelled to try because she was already a fan of the series. In interviews, Lisa explained that the opportunity represented a ‘new chapter’ in her life, one where she could expand her artistry beyond music. At the Los Angeles premiere in February 2025, she expressed gratitude to creator Mike White for trusting her with the role. In November, the singer became a gaming icon. Head- lining ‘Fortnite Festival’ Season 12, she made another historic status as the first solo K-pop artist to front the game’s music mode. Through the new Starlux Music Pass, fans can unlock exclusive Lisa-themed content, including the Rockstar Lisa outfit, the futuristic Melodie Mars skin, and a mic-welding Rockstar Mic. Her tracks ‘FUTW (Vixi Solo Version)’, ‘Rockstar’ and ‘New Wom- an’ feature in the Music Pass. With Lisa’s solo journey extending beyond chart-top- ping hits and record-breaking milestones, she has embraced her heritage, sharpened her craft, and expanded her influence far beyond the boundaries of K-pop. From the electrifying debut of ‘Lalisa’ to the viral phenomenon of ‘Money’ and her bold ventures into en- trepreneurship and acting, she has proven herself to be a multifaceted force shaping the future of global music. Her charisma, resilience, and vision continue to inspire. https://www.lalisaofficial.com
