“Thank you Mike White for trusting in me to fulfill the role of Mook and bring her character to life,” LISA continued, sharing a slew of photos taken on set in her home country of Thailand, where the third season of the hit Max series was filmed. “It was the greatest honor to be part of this show as my first acting gig alongside such incredible actors. And I’m so proud to be able to share my culture and show the beauty of Thailand to the world.”

“Mook has changed my life in a way where I am learning more about myself and my capabilities,” added the K-pop star. “My Sunday nights may feel a lot emptier but closing out The White Lotus with a full heart.”

LISA’s post comes two days after the final episode of White Lotus season three premiered on Max. On the show, the “Rockstar” singer played an employee of the fictional hotel chain’s Thailand location and starred opposite Tayme Thapthimthong — whose character Gaitok had a big crush on Mook — in many of her scenes.

In one of the photos LISA posted, Thapthimthong lies on the floor in a staging area behind the scenes of White Lotus, smiling at the girl group star’s camera. In other pictures, LISA — wearing her khaki White Lotus uniform — sits on the beach in a director’s chair, watches back one of her scenes on a tablet on set and hangs out with an adorable dog. She also included a video of herself mastering driving Mook’s scooter with the help of a few crew members, hilariously letting out an anxious screech before riding down the street.

LISA’s turn on White Lotus was just one of a few major projects she worked on during BLACKPINK’s hiatus over the past year or so. She also dropped her debut solo album, Alter Ego — which debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard 200 and featured collaborations with Doja Cat and RAYE, Megan Thee Stallion, Rosalía and more — in February.

Now that her first solo album is out and White Lotus is wrapped up, LISA will now gear up to reunite with her BLACKPINK bandmates this summer. The girl group is currently working on new music and will embark on a world tour kicking off in July, marking the foursome’s first trek since 2022-23’s Born Pink World Tour.
