Lisa, a singer and rapper from the K-pop group BLACKPINK, is slated to appear in the upcoming third season of the acclaimed U.S. television series "The White Lotus," as reported by Variety on Monday.

The specific details of Lisa's role in the show have not been disclosed. Season 3 of "The White Lotus" is scheduled to commence production this month in various locations in Thailand, including Koh Samui, Phuket, and Bangkok, according to Variety.

As a prominent member of BLACKPINK, one of the most popular girl groups in Korea, Lisa's participation in the U.S. series could potentially elevate her profile with American audiences. Last week, Lisa announced the establishment of her own music and entertainment company, named Lloud.

Lisa's bandmate, Jennie, previously ventured into acting, starring alongside Lily-Rose Depp and The Weeknd in the HBO drama "The Idol" in 2023, credited under the moniker Jennie Ruby Jane.

All four members of BLACKPINK renewed their contracts with YG Entertainment, a Korean entertainment company, late last year, resulting in a significant boost in the company's shares. Earlier this year, BLACKPINK achieved a Guinness World Record for having the most-viewed music channel on YouTube, amassing over 90 million subscribers.
