Media Outlet Seemingly Criticizes “The White Lotus” For Disappointing Use Of BLACKPINK’s Lisa Ahead Of Premiere
On February 16, The White Lotus premiered. It wasn’t long before netizens got a first look at Lisa’s acting as Mook. In the episode, Mook is waiting by the road, and it seems like her bike has broken down…
So she got some help, while showing off the sassy nature of her character.
The clip was shared online by the HBO account.
Gaitok to the rescue.

When the video was posted, netizens couldn’t hide their shock at how good Lisa was, considering it was her acting debut. Although it wouldn’t be uncommon for Lisa fans to praise the idol, non-K-Pop fans and those watching the show alone also couldn’t stop praising Lisa.
