Variety named BLACKPINK's Lisa one of its International Film and TV Breakouts of the Year for her role as Mook in The White Lotus, noting the impact of her performance despite limited screen time.

The publication praised Lisa for boosting the show's global reach and highlighted the broader trend toward globally minded casting in entertainment.

Beyond acting in The White Lotus, Lisa is slated to appear in the Netflix film Tygo alongside Don Lee, expanding her portfolio within the Extraction universe.

Meanwhile, Lisa will continue performing with BLACKPINK, with a full-length album expected in 2026, signaling ongoing musical activity alongside her acting career.

Her casting in The White Lotus positioned her within a prestigious, scrutinized series and served as a low-risk entry point into acting for her career shift.

The magazine emphasized that HBO’s casting of Lisa was a strategic move that broadened The White Lotus’s international audience and broadened Hollywood casting norms.

Lisa's rising television prominence builds on her success in the K-pop industry and underscores her growing impact on international audiences.
