BLACKPINK‘s Lisa, one of the most well-known faces in K-pop, recently sat down with W Korea for a candid interview. The conversation touched on Lisa’s experience at Coachella, her love for fashion, her passion for photography, and her personal growth as she navigates her “quarter-life crisis.”

Lisa’s relationship with fashion, particularly the brand CELINE, was a major theme in the interview. She spoke about her affinity for rock music during photoshoots and how CELINE’s clothing makes her feel like a “cool kid.” Lisa’s first designer bag, a black CELINE belt bag, symbolized her love for fashion even before she debuted. Lisa’s good relationship with CELINE’s Heidi Slimane goes beyond fashion; they share a love for photography and dogs, often exchanging stories about their pets.

Photography is another passion that Lisa has nurtured over the years. She owns more cameras than bags and prefers using high-quality cameras instead of her phone. Lisa’s love for photography aligns with her desire to preserve important moments, such as her unforgettable experience at Coachella. She says her journey at Coachella, from her group’s career-defining first appearance at the festival in 2019 to their stint as headliners in 2023, changed her life. Lisa says Coachella is much more than another event to her. It was a turning point in her life that broadened her horizons.

No to negativity

Lisa‘s growth as an artist and an individual was also something they touched on in the interview. She spoke about how her attitude towards the stage has evolved. She also said she feels more confident these days. She has a new motto that reflects her positive approach to life.

“I try not to feel trapped by negative thoughts or emotions. I also try to break negative thoughts, like ‘Why do I feel so bad today?’ or ‘Things would’ve worked out better if I was in a better mood.” Even when things don’t go well, I just tell myself, ‘Well, bad things can happen’ or ‘I’ll do better next time.’ So, my life motto is ‘let it be,’ and I feel more comfortable thinking this way,” she said. “Even when I feel bad, I consciously make myself feel better. I don’t want others to feel uncomfortable because of my bad mood. If it happens, I’d feel so bad for them.”

Lisa on this new season of her life

The interview also delved into Lisa‘s reflections as a 26-year-old navigating this new season of her life. She expressed a desire to live for herself and prioritize her happiness. Her newfound boldness to try new things and be honest with herself marks a significant change in her life. Her biggest ambition, she revealed, is to be happy, staying true to her happiness without harming others.

“Whenever I have something that I want to try, I always do it. I’ve finally become more honest with myself. These days, I think about my happiness more than anyone else’s. I stay true to my happiness as long as it doesn’t harm others. I want to live for myself. I don’t know why. Maybe it’s a puberty thing. I guess I am in my quarter-life crisis,” she laughs.
