BLACKPINK’s Lisa Showcases Her Duality In New “The White Lotus” Previews
Previously, it was announced that BLACKPINK’s Lisa would make her acting debut, joining the cast of HBO‘s The White Lotus. The White Lotus originally premiered as a limited series, but due to its popularity, it has expanded and is entering its third season.
An all-star cast heads to a resort to unleash their worst, most privileged impulses. The series is a sharp social satire following the exploits of various guests and employees of the fictional White Lotus resort chain, whose stay becomes affected by their various dysfunctions. A week in the life of vacationers unravels as they relax and rejuvenate in paradise; with each passing day, a darker complexity emerges in these picture-perfect travelers, the hotel’s cheerful employees, and the idyllic locale itself.

On November 10, a first look at Lisa’s anticipated role was given, much to fans’ excitement. Lisa’s character, Mook, appeared to be greeting the hotel guests, and it is assumed she is playing some sort of service industry worker.
Some netizens who viewed the preview spoke negatively about her role, voicing their disapproval of Lisa playing a maid or another resort employee.

"Maid" will never be a drag because if you have watched the white lotus then you know the hotel manager is the one greeting the guests. So lisa is most likely the hotel manager and the hotel manager is one of the main characters of the show pic.twitter.com/JMZEWcIuty

BLINKs also couldn’t help but compare the clip of Lisa in her traditional Thai costume to a childhood photo of her.
