BLACKPINK member Lisa is diving into the realm of emotional storytelling along with Japanese actor Kentaro Sakaguchi. The singers officially confirmed their highly rumoured collaboration.
Following months of dating speculations and interest in their relationship, the pair will next share screen space in a short film based on Lisa's solo song Dream from her 2024 album Alter Ego.
The official trailer, which dropped on August 12, gives her fans a preview of a bittersweet love affair that goes in the wrong direction. Previous teasers had given a glimpse of Lisa hugging a man clad in a matching couple ring, a hint now revealed to be Kentaro.
The photos showcase Lisa and Kentaro as a radiantly happy couple, whose tender and joyful moments are only interrupted by eventual silence and distance as their relationship changes. Even though he yearns to prevent her departure, Kentaro's character is powerless, reflecting the heart of the story's central heartbreak.
Fans speculate that the story is possibly based on real-life experiences, and this adds mystery to the project. The film trailer blends Lisa's emotional song with dramatic imagery, tracking the path of love from desire to departure and navigating nostalgia, yearning, and acceptance.
Against a hazy backdrop, Dream showcases the chemistry between Lisa and Kentaro, with both performances garnering praise from fans all over the world. DREAM will drop on August 13 at 11 PM ET, and there is much anticipation from BLINKs and drama fans alike.
