BLACKPINK member Lisa celebrated her 29th birthday with groundbreaking news, marking a historical moment for K-pop.
▲ Just like Bruno Mars… First K-pop Artist to Headline Las Vegas
On the 30th (local time), Deadline exclusively reported that Lisa will hold a residency show titled ‘Viva La Lisa’ in Las Vegas, Nevada.
According to the report, Lisa’s performances are set for the Colosseum at Caesars Palace on November 13 and 14, and again on the 27th and 28th.
Tickets for the residency will be available through Ticketmaster. Fans who register in advance between April 1 and 19 can purchase advance tickets on the 22nd, with general sales starting on the 23rd.
This makes Lisa the first K-pop artist to headline a Las Vegas residency.
▲ From BLACKPINK to Solo Activities… A Decade of Lisa’s Journey
A residency involves an artist performing multiple times over an extended period in one city. Stars with strong ticket sales, such as Bruno Mars and Jennifer Lopez, have held Las Vegas residencies.
Lisa released her first full album, ‘Alter Ego,’ last February. She also embarked on BLACKPINK’s world tour, ‘DEADLINE,’ from last July to this January. BLACKPINK recently released their full album, also titled ‘DEADLINE.’
Born in 1997, Lisa debuted as a BLACKPINK member in 2016 and renewed her contract for group activities with YG Entertainment in December 2023.
She began her solo endeavors through LLOUD, founded in February 2024, and released the digital single ‘ROCKSTAR’ in June of the same year, marking her official debut.
▲ From Actress to Producer… Lisa’s Bold Moves
Continuing her musical releases, Lisa debuted as an actress in HBO’s ‘White Lotus’ Season 3 last February, becoming the third group member to venture into acting, following Jisoo and Jennie.
Her impressive debut earned her a submission for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series at the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards, though she did not receive a nomination.
Instead, she participated as a performance artist in a tribute to the ‘007’ series at the 97th Academy Awards. Her performance earned a nomination for Best Choreography in the Entertainment category. Following this success, she was invited as a presenter at the 83rd Golden Globe Awards, where she walked the red carpet.
Reports also suggested Disney considered her for a role in the live-action film ‘Rapunzel,’ but she did not make the final shortlist, which brought some disappointment.
▲ Connected with Ma Dong-seok and Lee Jin-wook… What’s Next for Lisa?
Recently, Lisa confirmed her role in the Netflix original film ‘Tygo’ alongside Ma Dong-seok and Lee Jin-wook. She is also involved in the production of ‘Roco,’ further expanding her acting pursuits.
Lisa continues to showcase her multifaceted talents through both BLACKPINK and her solo endeavors. Fans are eager to see what she does next.
