A Surprise Guest Lights Up the Red Carpet
Fans expected glitz, but not Lisa. When BLACKPINK’s Lisa showed up unannounced at the 30th Busan International Film Festival (BIFF) on October 17, the red carpet transformed into a runway moment worthy of Vogue’s front page. The global K-pop icon appeared as the surprise guest of the night, and the audience erupted instantly.
From L.A. to Busan in 3 Days
Lisa’s film festival cameo comes hot on the heels of her U.S. appearance at the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards. There, she walked the red carpet as part of the cast for HBO’s “The White Lotus” season 3—yes, your favorite K-pop star has entered actor mode.
Just three days later, she was dazzling at BIFF, proving she’s not just globally booked and busy—she’s teleporting in style.
A Dress That Broke the Internet
Lisa’s gown? A visual symphony. The form-fitting floral dress married nude tones and gold hues with dreamy pastel lace. Its corset-inspired silhouette highlighted her iconic proportions—yes, that doll-like figure K-pop fans worship. From neck to toe, she was wrapped in elegance, with delicate jewelry to complete the look.
She quite literally looked like she was walking through a field of flowers—and the crowd couldn’t get enough.
Social Media: Instant Frenzy
Within hours of her surprise appearance, Lisa’s red carpet moment had gone viral. We’re talking hundreds of thousands of posts flooding social media, with Blinks (BLACKPINK’s fandom) and fashionistas alike analyzing every angle of her look.
BIFF organizers couldn’t have picked a better surprise to kick off their milestone year. With 241 films from 64 countries screening until October 26 at the Busan Cinema Center in Haeundae, Lisa’s guest appearance was the kind of headline that sets the tone for a star-studded event.
What’s Next for Lisa?
From music to high fashion to acting, Lisa’s journey is starting to look more like a cinematic universe than a traditional career. With her “White Lotus” acting debut ahead, fans are bracing for Lisa 2.0—and we’re here for it.
Question is: where will she surprise us next?
