Blackpink's Lisa is stepping into the spotlight with her first solo documentary, Always Lalisa, hitting theaters on October 12. The Asian Affairs reports the film, directed by Emmy-nominated filmmaker Sue Kim and produced by Sony Music Vision, follows Lisa's journey as she builds a career beyond the group in music, acting, and global performances.
The documentary offers an unguarded look at her life while she balances privacy with public stardom. We Are Resonate confirms the film will premiere in IMAX and cinemas worldwide before streaming exclusively on YouTube Premium later this year, signaling Lisa's expansion across entertainment platforms.
New Music and Thai Heritage on Display
Lisa is releasing fresh music alongside the documentary. Her six-track EP Press Play drops October 23, with the single SaWaDiKa arriving September 3. The project digs deeper into her Thai background and reveals a more personal side of her artistry that fans haven't heard before.
Festival Premiere and Global Theatrical Push
Always Lalisa will have its world premiere in the Gala section at the 2026 Toronto International Film Festival. Rolling Stone India notes the film launches internationally on October 12 through Trafalgar Releasing, marking a major push to present Lisa as a solo artist beyond Blackpink to audiences worldwide.
Major Live Performances and Acting Roles
The documentary captures Lisa's biggest solo milestones. She performed at Coachella 2025 and will appear in the 2026 FIFA World Cup opening ceremony alongside Anitta and Rema for the song Goals. ZAPZEE reports the film also highlights her acting work, including HBO's The White Lotus and Netflix projects like Tygo, showing her range beyond music.
YouTube Premium and Streaming Strategy
After its theatrical run, Always Lalisa moves exclusively to YouTube Premium. We Are Resonate says this release strategy lets Lisa reach fans across platforms—theaters, festivals, and streaming—cementing her position as a global entertainment figure with broad appeal.
