Key takeaways 5
  • Acting Auditions: Lisa admits her initial self-tape for The White Lotus was 'horrible' and she felt she should be fired, but emphasizes that auditioning is a normal part of the process even for top stars. She also mentions an awkward callback where she accidentally complimented an actor's appearance.
  • Language Acquisition: Lisa learned Korean in 2-3 years through daily two-hour lessons and support from bandmate Jisoo, who stayed in the dorm to help her practice when others went home.
  • Music Production: For her solo track 'Swadika', Lisa acted as a creative producer by providing specific ideas and direction (e.g., wanting to reconnect with her Thai roots) rather than producing the audio herself.
  • Fan Interaction: Lisa watches herself on TikTok and Twitter, noting that mirrored videos often confuse her dance moves. She has developed a mindset to ignore hate comments, viewing them as natural and not reflective of her worth.
  • Personal Style: Lisa prefers comfort over glamour in daily life, often wearing pajama sets and hoodies to get coconut water from a local shop, where staff recognize her despite her lack of makeup.
