Introduction to Lisa’s Documentary
The global superstar Lisa, famous for being a part of Blackpink and now pursuing a successful solo recording career and acting, is the subject of a new documentary produced by Sony Music Vision and directed by Sue Kim. This announcement was made on Thursday evening during a pre-Sony music vision event in Hollywood, where several music film projects were discussed.
The Documentary’s Production
Kim was present at the event to talk about her film on Lisa, along with other directors like BAZ Luhrmann, who discussed his recently announced Elvis Presley documentary, and Frank Marshall, who showcased some footage from his Barbra Streisand documentary-in-progress.

The documentary promises to give fans a unique insight into Lisa’s life, showcasing her journey as a solo artist and actress.
