The film chronicles Lisa’s path from dance student to solo K‑pop star, featuring emotional memories and undisclosed personal details.
By Felo News Desk · Published
Elle reports that Lisa’s first solo documentary, Always Lalisa, opened worldwide on October 12, 2026, offering an intimate look at her decade‑long rise with Blackpink and the launch of her solo career.
What happened
The film follows Lisa from her childhood ambition to become a dance teacher, through a pivotal encounter with her early instructor, Teacher Nok, to her acceptance as a trainee at YG Entertainment after an open audition in Thailand. It also documents the creation of her debut solo album, Alter Ego, and the recording of the track “Dream,” which she says reflects a first love experienced at age 25.
What the reports add
Elle notes that Lisa’s mother, Chitthip Bruschweiler, recounts how Nok’s harsh encouragement – “Pokpak, are you going to stay in the back like this forever?” – pushed Lisa toward singing. The article adds that Nok later battled cancer, which led to his hospitalization and the eventual end of his mentorship. According to the piece, Lisa’s secret relationship remained undisclosed to fans, but she channeled that experience into the song “Dream.”
What was said
Lisa told Variety at the Toronto International Film Festival premiere, “I feel like it’s about time. I’m more confident now, so I want to share my story to fans who have a big dream like me,” and added, “Nobody was telling me what to do and I’m the one who has to choose the road to go down next.” Her mother said, “The turning point for my child was when Teacher Nok said… Those are the words that drove Lisa to start singing.”
How it came about
The documentary’s narrative links back to earlier Felo coverage of Lisa’s solo activities, including the October 8 report on her “SaWaDiKa” video reaching 200 million YouTube views and the September 17 feature on her upcoming EP PRESS PLAY. Those pieces highlighted her growing solo presence, setting the stage for a full‑length film that delves into the personal influences and hidden chapters of her career.
