On November 11, a new teaser for Season 3 of the HBO drama “The White Lotus” was unveiled, drawing massive attention with the appearance of BLACKPINK’s Lisa.
In this teaser, Lisa, who plays the hotel manager named “Mook” (meaning “pearl” in Thai), appeared with a broad smile as she seemingly greeted the guests while dressed in the hotel uniform. The female idol’s light make-up and simple clothing presents a stark contrast to her usual “rock-star” get up, boasting a friendly “girl-next-door” vibe.
As this new teaser was dropped, many viewers have made speculations about Lisa’s role in the 3rd season of “The White Lotus”.
In particular, according to people that have watched the previous seasons of this series, all characters in “The White Lotus” will have their own focus and stories, with no characters more major than the other, so Season 3 may be no exception.
Nevertheless, the role of hotel manager was the most crucial in the previous two seasons, particularly as the source of all drama in Season 1 and a main villain in Season 2.
As a result, viewers started to speculate that Lisa will also be a major character, if not even a main villain in “The White Lotus”, raising expectations for her acting debut to higher than ever before.
On the other hand, Lisa recently won “Best Collaboration” at the 2024 MTV EMA for her single “New Woman”, which also featured famous pop-star Rosalía, making the female idol the 1st Asian female artist to secured such a prize. The female idol also secured the Biggest Fans awards at the ceremony.
It seems that Lisa is not only winning on her music career, but also prompting her acting path with a great start as well!
