BLACKPINK’s Lisa recently revealed the challenges of being the CEO of her own company, LLoud, and shared some behind-the-scenes insights into the struggles of managing her own business.

In a February 28th video uploaded to the YouTube channel Zip Daesung, Lisa sat down as a guest and opened up about her journey as a one-person CEO.

During the shoot, as Lisa was getting her hair touched up, Daesung casually asked, "Have you been working with this crew for a long time?" to which Lisa replied, "Over a year. Ever since I started my company." She was referring to LLoud, the agency she founded just last year.

While discussing her experiences, Lisa added, "It’s fun. Of course, there are difficult parts," but quickly shifted the conversation, jokingly saying, "Aren’t you getting touched up?"

Daesung laughed and explained that his stylist wasn’t around at the moment, "The person who does that is off work. They’ll come back later after working nearby. It’s a bit more flexible." He joked further, "But we only pay for the time they’re here, and if they’re not here, we don’t pay for that time."

Lisa responded humorously, "I don’t think that’s bad. It’s good. Then, please step out for a moment. I don’t need any touch-ups." Her playful remark lightened the mood.

The conversation turned more serious when Daesung asked, "Do you ever feel like a CEO? Do you realize how much money goes out in unexpected places? Do you think, 'Oh, the company paid for this'?"

Lisa responded honestly, saying, "The music video costs are insane. It’s no joke." She went on to explain that managing the costs for music videos can be overwhelming, especially when you’re running a business alone.

Daesung agreed, commenting, "Yeah, both for us and for BLACKPINK, there’s a certain scale we’re used to from YG. The music itself is that kind of style, right?" He then asked, "When making a music video, do you just say, 'Can you please lower the cost?'"

Lisa didn’t hesitate to answer, saying, "Yes, I always ask them to reduce it." She elaborated, "I talk about the budget and ask for help. But it always ends up exceeding the budget. We just want to do our best. We want to meet the expectations."

It’s clear that Lisa’s commitment to her work goes beyond the financials, always striving to meet high expectations despite the challenges that come with running a company.

Actress Go Ah Sung shocked everyone by revealing that she has a yacht license on the February 28th episode of tvN’s Edward Lee’s Country Cook (Episode 3).

In this fun-filled episode, Go Ah Sung joined Edward Lee, Byun Yo Han, and Cynthia for a winter sea fishing challenge.

On their way to the fishing spot, Edward Lee came up with a playful competition. He suggested, "Just catching fish isn’t fun." The challenge? Whoever caught the biggest fish would win one of his special recipes.

As the challenge kicked off, Byun Yo Han, Go Ah Sung, and Cynthia all got into the competitive spirit. Byun Yo Han, in particular, confidently boasted, "I played a fisherman in The Book of Fish. I know fish pretty well."

While everyone was busy fishing, Byun Yo Han tried to size up his competition, asking Cynthia and Go Ah Sung if they were prone to seasickness. Cynthia, a fishing newbie, reassured him she was fine, but when he turned to Go Ah Sung, he asked, "But you do, right?"

To his surprise, Go Ah Sung responded with a smile, "I’m a sailor. I have a yacht license." She added, "It’s been so long since I’ve felt this," showing off her excitement, not seasickness.

Go Ah Sung’s skills were soon put to the test as she was the first to catch a big cod, about 50 cm in size, proving she truly earned her sailor title!

It was a proud moment for the actress, and viewers couldn't help but be impressed by her surprising hidden talent.
