BLACKPINK’s Lisa just made history at the 97th Academy Awards (Oscars), and the world can’t stop talking about her!

On March 2 (local time), Lisa became the first K-pop artist to perform at the Oscars, taking the stage at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles. She delivered a special tribute to the James Bond 007 series, singing "Live and Let Die," the theme song of Live and Let Die (1973).

Even though her performance was short, Lisa left a huge impact, earning a standing ovation from the audience.

After the awards show, Lisa turned heads at the official Oscars after-party. She rocked a stunning corset-style leather dress, designed by none other than Korean designer Park Sohee from the haute couture brand "Miss Sohee." Her bold and elegant look stole the spotlight, and major fashion outlets took notice!

Harper’s Bazaar named Lisa one of the Best Dressed Stars of the night, placing her alongside Kendall Jenner, Selena Gomez, Cynthia Erivo, and Monica Barbaro. Fans and fashion critics alike praised her powerful yet classy style.

But Lisa’s Oscars moment is just one of the many things she has planned this year! She recently dropped her first full-length album, ‘Alter Ego,’ featuring collabs with global stars like Doja Cat, RAYE, Megan Thee Stallion, Future, and Tyla. Up next, she’s set to make her solo debut performance at Coachella in April!

Meanwhile, BLACKPINK is gearing up for a massive world tour in 2025. The tour will begin at Goyang Sports Complex Stadium on July 5-6 before heading to major cities like Los Angeles, Chicago, Toronto, New York, Paris, Milan, Barcelona, London, and Tokyo.

YG Entertainment teased even more dates and cities, saying, "We are preparing an unprecedented tour on the same scale as ‘BORN PINK,’ which made history for K-pop. Please look forward to additional cities and dates to be announced soon."

With a record-breaking Oscars performance, a ‘Best Dressed’ title, a chart-topping album, and an upcoming world tour, Lisa is proving once again why she’s a true global superstar.

The When Life Gives You Tangerines cast melted fans’ hearts once again — this time off-screen!

On April 15, the VIP premiere of the film Yadang took place at Megabox COEX in Samseong-dong, Seoul, and it quickly turned into a Poksak reunion.

The event was already buzzing with big names like Uhm Tae Woong (who made his first appearance in 8 years), Lee Min Ho, Ha Ji Won, Lee Joo Young, Hyeri, Lee Yu Bi, Kim Sung Kyun, and even Single’s Inferno 4's Lee Si An.

But the surprise appearance of severalWhen Life Gives You Tangerines cast members made fans super emotional.

IU, who played Gwansik’s daughter Geum Myeong in the Netflix series, was spotted quietly entering the theater wearing a mask. A fan who noticed her shared a photo, writing, “Poksak daughter Geum Myeong is here!”

Kim Seon Ho also showed up and quickly got attention. Fans recognized him despite the mask and commented, “Chung Seop is here too!” and “Park Hae Joon’s son-in-law came!” Kim Seon Ho made a special appearance in the series as Geum Myeong’s husband.

Kang Yoo Seok, who played Eun Myeong Yi (Gwansik’s son), also came to support his on-screen dad. Fans left sweet comments like “The son is so thoughtful!”

And of course, Choi Dae Hoon — better known as “Hak Ssi Ahjussi” — made fans smile with his bright energy. People couldn’t stop talking about him, saying things like “He came to see his in-laws’ movie,” and “The whole When Life Gives You Tangerines family is here!”

Before the event, Park Hae Joon shared in an interview with Xports News that he wasn’t sure who would show up, saying, “Everyone’s really busy, so it depends on the situation. But I’d be really happy if we could meet again after a long time.”

Well, they did meet again — and fans couldn’t be happier.
