LISA's Solo Year Gets the Documentary Treatment: What We Know About "Always Lalisa"

BLACKPINK’s LISA is stepping into the spotlight in a major way, and Sony Music Vision is documenting the whole journey. A new film titled“Always Lalisa”will premiere at the 2026 Toronto International Film Festival this September, capturing what might be the biggest year of her solo career. Directed by Sue Kim and produced by Sony Music Vision in partnership with RCA Records and other production companies, the documentary follows LISA during her first year away from BLACKPINK since childhood, exploring the pressure, fear, and determination that comes with independence.

The timing couldn’t be more perfect. LISA’s had an absolutely incredible solo year packed with accomplishments that most artists only dream about. She performed at the FIFA World Cup opening ceremony, headlined Coachella, appeared on the cover of Vanity Fair, became the first K-pop artist on the Met Gala host committee, and made her acting debut in HBO’s The White Lotus. Her debut solo album“Alter Ego”debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart in March 2025, and she’s already working on a follow-up. If that wasn’t enough, she’s got two Netflix projects in the works: an action film called TYGO and an untitled romantic comedy where she’ll star and executive produce. Then there’s her sold-out four-show Vegas residency“VIVA LA LISA”at Caesars Palace coming in November.

The documentary promises to give fans and viewers a genuine look at what it takes to launch a solo career when you’re one of the biggest pop stars in the world. It’s not just about the glamorous performances and red-carpet moments, but the real work, the doubts, and the determination behind the scenes. While no release date has been announced yet for theaters or streaming platforms, the September premiere at Toronto is going to be a major moment. Are you planning to follow LISA’s documentary journey when it arrives?
