Blackpink’s Lisa signs with WME for acting career after White Lotus role

Blackpink’s Lisa signs with WME for acting representation after breakout role in HBO’s The White Lotus season 3

Blackpink member Lisa has officially signed with WME for representation in her acting career, marking a major step in her expansion into film and television.

The Thai singer, rapper, dancer, and actor — born Lalisa Manobal — recently made her acting debut in the Thailand-set third season of HBO’s hit drama The White Lotus. She played Mook, a wellness professional and love interest of Gaitok, portrayed by Tayme Thapthimthong. The season, released in February 2025, earned 23 Emmy nominations, including Outstanding Drama Series, bringing global attention to Lisa’s performance.

Lisa is already one of the most recognizable global stars as part of Blackpink, the record-breaking K-pop girl group behind The Album (2020) and Born Pink (2022). She launched her solo career in 2021 and quickly broke multiple Guinness World Records, including most Instagram followers for a K-pop artist. She has also won historic awards, becoming the first solo K-pop act to secure MTV Video Music Awards and MTV European Music Awards wins.

Beyond music, Lisa founded her management company LLOUD Co. in 2024, releasing solo tracks like “Rockstar,” “New Woman” (with Rosalía), and “Moonlit Floor.” Her debut solo album Alter Ego debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard 200 and topped the Billboard Top Album Sales chart earlier this year. She also made her Coachella debut in April.

Lisa continues to work as a global fashion ambassador for Bulgari and Louis Vuitton. While WME will represent her acting endeavors, her music representation remains with LLOUD Co. and The Lede Company.
