BLACKPINK’s LISA is officially the subject of a full-length documentary, and Sony Music Vision just announced the news that fans have been waiting for. The film, titled“Always Lalisa,”will make its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival this September in the gala program. Directed by Sue Kim and produced by Sony Music Vision alongside RCA Records, the documentary captures one of the most transformative years in LISA’s life—her first solo venture away from BLACKPINK since childhood.
The timing couldn’t be more perfect. LISA’s 2026 has been absolutely stacked with major moments that the documentary will chronicle. She performed at the FIFA World Cup opening ceremony, headlined Coachella, made her acting debut on HBO’s The White Lotus, became the first K-pop artist appointed to the Met Gala host committee, and landed two Netflix projects including an action film and a romantic comedy. Oh, and her debut solo album“Alter Ego”debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart. She’s also headlining a sold-out four-show Las Vegas residency at Caesars Palace this November called“VIVA LA LISA.”
The documentary goes deeper than just celebrating her wins, though. It shows the vulnerable side of stepping out on your own for the first time after being part of a global phenomenon. The film focuses on the fear, pressure, and internal conflict of launching a solo career while also juggling acting opportunities and brand building, all while knowing you’re on a clock before returning to the group. No release date has been announced yet for theatrical or streaming platforms, but after its Toronto premiere, this documentary is going to be a must-watch for anyone who follows pop culture. What aspect of LISA’s journey are you most excited to see explored in the film?
