Lisa (BLACKPINK) is making waves beyond the music industry. The talented idol has been officially submitted for Emmy consideration for her role as Mook in the third season of HBO’s acclaimed anthology drama, The White Lotus.
Portraying the character Mook, Lisa impressed audiences with her natural screen presence and professionalism. However, critics and fans alike voiced disappointment over her limited screen time and the lack of depth given to her character. Outlets such as The Guardian described the decision as “casting Lady Gaga as an extra,” suggesting that Lisa’s talent was underused in the storyline. Still, some viewers noted that Mook subtly influenced key plot developments, particularly in shaping the decisions of the character Gaitok.
According to Gold Derby, HBO submitted The White Lotus in 39 categories for this year’s Emmy Awards, showcasing strong confidence in the series and its ensemble cast. Among these submissions, Lisa has been put forward in the “Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series” category for her compelling performance.
This submission represents a significant milestone not only for Lisa personally but also for the broader presence of K-pop idols branching into international television. BLACKPINK’s ongoing dominance in music and global tours is now complemented by Lisa’s promising acting debut on a major American network, earning her positive reviews and industry recognition.
While the final nominations have yet to be announced, Lisa’s Emmy submission alone signals an exciting new chapter in her multifaceted career, underscoring the growing global influence of K-pop talent in Hollywood.
