BLACKPINK's Lisa to Star in New Documentary Unveiling Her Solo Journey

Over the past two years, Lisa Manoban, known as a vital member of the internationally acclaimed girl group BLACKPINK, has managed to create an astonishing trajectory of success. Amidst a whirlwind of commitments that included founding her own company, releasing her debut solo album, and performing solo at prestigious events like Coachella and the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, Lisa also found time to film her own documentary, showcasing her dynamic evolution as an artist.

The documentary is a significant milestone for Lisa as it will position her alongside legendary artists such as Barbra Streisand, Oasis, and Elvis Presley, receiving a full-length feature centered on her life and career, produced by Sony Music Vision.

Documentary Details and Highlights

Announced during Sony Music Vision's Inaugural Content Showcase held in Los Angeles on May 29, 2025, the still-untitled documentary is being produced by Lisa's own company, LLOUD, in collaboration with RCA Records and Tremolo Productions, with additional support from Salt Water Productions.

At the helm of this endeavor is acclaimed Korean-American filmmaker Sue Kim, recognized for her impressive body of work, including The Last of the Sea Women and Netflix's The Speed Cubers. Notably, Kim has previously contributed to Apple TV+'s docuseries K-Pop Idols as an executive producer, a testament to her experience and understanding of the K-pop landscape.

This documentary will chronicle a pivotal year in Lisa's life, a phase when the four BLACKPINK members took a hiatus from their group activities to pursue individual projects. Viewers can expect an intimate look at the lead-up to Lisa’s first solo album, titled Alter Ego, her solo Coachella debut, and her burgeoning acting career, particularly her involvement in The White Lotus season 3.

Context on BLACKPINK's Evolution

BLACKPINK announced a strategic shift towards solo activities in 2023, coinciding with the expiration of their contracts with YG Entertainment. While the group ventured into solo territories, they eventually resigned their contracts to continue as a group. In the summer of 2024, they announced their comeback, alongside a 2025 world tour titled Deadline, reflecting the ongoing balance between their individual pursuits and collective identity.

According to promotional statements from Sony, the documentary will grant fans exclusive access to Lisa, providing an in-depth perspective on her creative vision and career outside of BLACKPINK. Kim has expressed her enthusiasm, stating that following Lisa throughout this transformative year has been an incredible privilege and offers audiences unique insights into her life.

“There have been so many moments on her journey that I think will surprise people and give a glimpse into her world that no one’s ever seen before. I’m excited for viewers to witness this extraordinary moment in her life,” Kim stated.

Lisa expressed her gratitude, emphasizing how fortunate she feels to document such special moments on film and share them with her fans. “Working with Sue Kim has been such a joy. We’ve traveled the world together, and I know this is just the beginning of many more exciting things to come,” she added.

As of now, no official release date has been provided, and fans will eagerly await further updates including a potential trailer. Clips from the documentary were reportedly showcased during the content preview event, featuring scenes from her 2025 Coachella performance and intimate moments filmed at her home in Thailand.

This documentary marks a crucial step in cementing Lisa's burgeoning solo career while providing her fanbase with a deeper understanding of her artistic journey.
