Asian Junkie Asian pop. Without discretion.
BLACKPINK member Lisa is already making moves following establishing her own agency LLOUD recently, as she’ll star in the third season of the acclaimed series The White Lotus, set in Thailand.
Blackpink member Lisa has joined the cast of “The White Lotus” Season 3, Variety has learned exclusively.
She will be credited under her given name, Lalisa Manobal, in the third season of the hit HBO series. As with all castings for the third season, her role is being kept under wraps. “The White Lotus” is set to begin production in and around Koh Samui, Phuket, and Bangkok, Thailand, in February. Exact plot details are being kept under wraps aside from the fact it will follow a new group of guests at a White Lotus resort property.
How significant her role will be is unknown, but she’ll be with an extensive ensemble cast in her acting debut.
The expansive ensemble cast already includes: Leslie Bibb, Dom Hetrakul, Jason Isaacs, Michelle Monaghan, Parker Posey, Tayme Thapthimthong, Christian Friedel, Julian Kostov, Morgana O’Reilly, Lek Patravadi, Shalini Peiris, Carrie Coon, Scott Glenn, Francesca Corney, Nicholas Duvernay, Arnas Fedaravičius, Natasha Rothwell, Walton Goggins, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Aimee Lou Wood, Sarah Catherine Hook, and Sam Nivola.
There’s always the fear of a borderline insulting bit role, but if nothing else, it should be interesting, especially if she does anything remotely non-K-pop like. Though it’s hard to imagine it evoking such thorough and thoughtful analysis from me as Jennie’s role in The Idol did or her own participation in some cabaret shit. Can’t wait for the think pieces from children.
