• BLACKPINK’s Lisa Playfully Calls Out Lee Young Ji: "Only Rosé and Jisoo Were Welcomed. Honestly, I Was Hurt"

    BLACKPINK’s Lisa got candid about her feelings when meeting Lee Young Ji on the latest episode of 'No Prepare.'

    On August 16th, Lee Young Ji's YouTube show 'No Prepare but Prepared' welcomed its first guest after a break—none other than BLACKPINK’s Lisa.

    The episode titled "SAY LALISA (Please) Love Me" featured Lisa opening up about everything from her recent projects to some playful banter.

    To celebrate Lisa’s appearance, Lee Young Ji whipped up some truffle egg fries, joking, "Since a Billboard artist is coming today, I'll go with two eggs."

    When Lisa arrived, she confessed she was a bit jealous after watching Jisoo’s previous episode. "I was really jealous when Jisoo unnie appeared," Lisa said with a smile. She also revealed her fun side, sharing, "I like tequila, and after about five shots, I start twerking."

    Talking about her latest projects, Lisa mentioned she's been busy in Thailand and the U.S., making new music. She recently dropped "Rockstar" and proudly highlighted the lyric, "Tight dress, LV sent it," while showing off her R-brand bag.

    With her semi-public relationship with Frédéric Arnault, heir to Louis Vuitton, this detail didn’t go unnoticed by fans.

    Lisa also shared her excitement about collaborating with Rosalía, saying, "I was very clear that I wanted to work with Rosalía. Last year, we (BLACKPINK) headlined Coachella. I saw Rosalía's performance then, and I was captivated."

    As she reflects on her 8th year since debut, Lisa admitted she hasn’t released a solo album yet but is working hard on it. She’s also set to return to Thailand for drama filming after her time in the U.S.

    But the real fun started when Lisa expressed some playful disappointment. She teased Lee Young Ji, saying, "You only seemed to welcome Rosé and Jisoo. I was so excited to greet you, but you didn’t seem happy to see me. Honestly, I was hurt."

    Lee Young Ji quickly defended herself with a laugh, saying, "Didn't I make any gestures? Am I crazy? There’s no way I would have done that. Isn’t your memory being manipulated?" This playful exchange had everyone laughing and made the episode even more entertaining.
