LISA In Louis Vuitton For VOGUE Korea
Lisa “New Woman is about confidence” by Son Eun-young , Kim Na-rang
Lisa, who is currently the most ‘rock star’ and ‘new woman’, has entered the photoshoot. Lisa has been with since Blackpink’s debut, but this is her first time gracing the cover of as a soloist. She is the most influential artist right now, but if you meet her in person, you will feel instantly friendly from her innocent smile and shy but polite speech. In other words, Lisa off stage resembles the pink slippers with Murakami Takashi Studio’s brightly smiling flower (Super Flat Flower) that she wore to the photoshoot. In a word, she is lovely. Lisa’s biggest goal is not first place or an award, but ‘happiness.’
“Everyone has a different way of finding happiness. I’m the ‘small but certain happiness’ type, so even if I find just a small part of happiness, I’m happy and say, ‘Wow!’” What’s Lisa’s happiness today, during a photoshoot at a studio in Seongsu-dong on a Saturday evening? “I’m glad that is my first pictorial since being selected as the Louis Vuitton ambassador. I’m happy even when I say hello to cats or eat salt bread. I’m grateful for the little things.” Despite her tight schedule that includes releasing the single ‘New Woman’ on August 15, Lisa is someone who can be happy every day.
In ‘New Woman,’ Lisa sings, “I’m a New Woman.” With her independent and confident lyrics, music video, and performance, she truly shows that she is the next woman. When asked who ‘New Woman’ is, Lisa says it’s not a specific ideal type, but a state of mind. “New Woman is confidence. I want this song to be with me when I wake up in the morning and reset myself to do today confidently. That’s me. Every day is busy, but when I listen to ‘New Woman,’ I move on again.” In a past interview, Lisa often gave advice to “believe in yourself.” I asked her if that really works. “Yes. But it’s very difficult to keep pushing forward alone. My staff, family, and friends who I work with helped me a lot because they believed in me.”(READ MORE HERE)
