Each member found their distinct color and revealed the change: "I've become more confident in expressing my voice."

BLACKPINK's Lisa shared her reflections after each member pursued individual solo activities. She stated that walking their own paths made their unique colors more distinct and clearly visible.

Rolling Stone Canada released an interview on the 18th (local time) regarding Lisa's documentary "Always Lalisa," set for theatrical release on October 12. The documentary premiered globally at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) on the 11th, directed by Sue Kim, closely documenting Lisa's year preparing for her solo activities.

In the interview, Lisa reflected on the time BLACKPINK members spent pursuing individual activities: "During that break, we each gradually discovered ourselves more."

Lisa specifically shared her feelings upon listening to Rosé, Jennie, and Jisoo's solo albums.

She said, "While listening to their albums, I thought, 'Wow, this is truly Rosé; this is truly Jennie; this is truly Jisoo.'" This illustrates how each member developed a clearer personal identity through their music compared to before.

Lisa added, "I think we all found more of ourselves during this time. So when we reunited, our energy increased, and we were able to bring positive energy to the team."

In 2023, beyond group activities, each member's individual pursuits intensified. Rosé released "rosie," Jennie released "Ruby," Jisoo released "AMORTAGE," and Lisa released "Alter Ego," each showcasing their unique musical worlds. Lisa's documentary "Always Lalisa" follows her solo music, acting, and fashion activities during this period. The film is scheduled for theatrical release on October 12.

The changes Lisa described extended beyond music. She noted that the way each member expresses their opinions has also evolved.

Lisa stated, "In the past, I tended to just say 'okay' to everything, but now I express my opinions more frequently." This includes confidently voicing her thoughts on styling and decisions related to group creativity.

She said, "I've become able to voice my opinions more confidently. I think everyone has changed this way. I respect that, and I believe the other members respect me equally."

Rolling Stone Canada did not attribute Lisa's changes solely to growth on stage. Sue Kim, director of "Always Lalisa," explained that this period marked a time when Lisa experienced "growth" she had previously postponed while becoming a global pop star.

However, Lisa cautioned against portraying this as "taking initiative from others." She emphasized that BLACKPINK's decision-making remains a process of dialogue where mutual respect is maintained to find "middle ground." "We know each other too well to judge one another," she said. "Through conversation, we simply seek points where everyone can be satisfied."

The documentary also captures Lisa's moments behind the glamorous stage. The director focused on the minutes just before Lisa takes the stage—not the Lisa performing globally, but the nervous Lisa moments before stepping onto the stage.

Indeed, the documentary includes a scene where Lisa sits on a sofa with her sweater pulled over her head immediately after learning about the 2025 YG information leak incident, composing herself. Although this was not a scheduled interview, director Sue Kim stated, "It wasn't a planned interview; it's a moment where she spoke freely as her feelings flowed." The director captured that moment, and Rolling Stone Canada reported that Lisa did not request the removal of scenes showing her vulnerable side.

Lisa also mentioned that before going on stage, she recalls her childhood dance teacher and her grandfather. She explained that thinking of them as guardian angels watching over her gives her confidence to perform.

"Always Lalisa" is a documentary recording Lisa's year spent temporarily stepping away from BLACKPINK to work as a solo singer and actress. It captures her preparation for the solo album "Alter Ego," her acting challenge through HBO's "The White Lotus" Season 3, and her process of preparing for the 2025 Coachella solo performance.

"Always Lalisa" is scheduled for worldwide theatrical release on October 12, followed by availability via YouTube Premium.
