LISA of BLACKPINK Hints at New Project With Cyberpunk Teaser & Cryptic Countdown
Something LISA this way comes — but fans aren’t exactly sure what it is yet.
That will all change soon, however, according to a mysterious untitled countdown that has appeared on the BLACKPINK star’s solo website. By Billboard‘s math, the clock will finish ticking down on Nov. 19 — the possible release date of new music from LISA.
LISA also shared a cinematic teaser on X Tuesday morning (Nov. 12), featuring the Thai singer-rapper in an edgy black bodysuit striking poses and playing guitar in a desolate cyberpunk landscape. At one point, she looks up to the sky and summons a neon purple light from the heavens, after which she stares down the camera as magenta sparks fly behind her on a rocky sculpture.
The clip is paired with an instrumental of LISA’s June single “Rockstar,” which reached No. 70 on the Billboard Hot 100 and kicked off the performer’s new solo era. She’s since dropped “New Woman” with Rosalía and “Moonlit Floor (Kiss Me).”
And though they can’t know for sure yet what LISA’s new teaser and countdown are building up to, fans are hopeful a solo album announcement is on its way. “LETS GOOOO ALBUM IS COMING!!!” one person commented on the video, while another fan replied, “im gonna faint we need the album.”
Some BLINKs are also certain they’ve decoded the project’s title: “Alter Ego,” the phrase printed on a faux magazine starring LISA on the cover in her August music video for “New Woman.” “ALTER EGO????” an excited fan commented under the star’s new teaser Tuesday.
As fans prepare for a new project from LISA, the star is also gearing up to make her acting debut in White Lotus. The 2025 third season of the HBO show will feature the musician as Mook, a resort manager at a hotel in Thailand, as seen in a new trailer, in which LISA greets guests with, “Welcome to The White Lotus in Thailand, ka.”
