As one-fourth of the world’s biggest girl group, Lisa has broken barriers for K-pop performers. Be it reintroducing herself to the world with her solo music or dabbling her chance at acting, the BLACKPINK member has become one of the greatest pop-culture phenomena. Now, during her recent interview with The Guardian, Lisa candidly spoke about the one thing that she regretted not doing when she met Justin Bieber for the first time.
“I think everyone was a Bieber fan when they were young. I met him a few years ago, but just for a quick hi. I didn’t tell him how much I loved him because I’m too shy,” she said.
But that wasn’t the case with Rihanna. When asked which is the best song to play at a party, Lisa replied, “Work by Rihanna lifts everyone’s feelings up. Have I met her? Actually, yes, and I did tell her how much I love her.
” Earlier this month, Lisa became the first K-pop artist to perform at the Oscars as part of a trio paying tribute to the music of the James Bond film series. The tribute at the 97th Academy Awards kicked off with a tango routine set to the iconic Bond theme by The Substance’s Margaret Qualley, followed by a musical montage by Lisa and her collaborators on her new single, “Born Again”, the American rapper Doja Cat and the British singer Raye. The Thai singer and actor, whose real name is Lalisa Manobal and who is currently acting in the HBO satirical series The White Lotus, did a rendition of the theme song from the 1973 Bond film.
