Inside the room: Lisa of Blackpink as race scandal erupts

A new documentary, Always Lalisa, follows Blackpink's Lisa Manobal through a 2025 racial slur controversy that resurfaced while she rehearsed for Coachella. Leaked trainee-era videos showed the group covering US rap songs with the n-word left uncensored. Lisa's label barred the members from issuing statements, so filmmaker Sue Kim filmed Lisa in her dressing room, where she said she was 15 or 16, didn't know the word was offensive because Thai is her first language, and "did wrong." The film opens in cinemas on 12 October.
