Today is the worldwide theatrical release of “Always Lalisa” and like so many years-long undertakings, it took a small army of wonderful and mega-talented people to help create this film. Firstly, I have to thank the one and only @lalalalisa_m for inviting us into her world and for bravely allowing herself to be seen. It was an honor to witness your year of expansion and metamorphosis, and I have so much admiration for the person and icon you are today. So many thanks also to our incredible collaborators Sony Music Vision, Team LLOUD, and Tremolo Productions. And last but definitely not least, thank you to all of the brilliant team members below who not only are the best in the business, but made this mammoth production of jet-setting around the world for a year so memorable and so much fun ✨ The film opens theatrically today but will also be available on YouTube Premium later on this year. I hope you all enjoy Always Lalisa! xo.

Today is the launch day of The Last of the Sea Women, the film I’ve spent much of my life dreaming of making and the last three years actively making. It’s hard to know what to say now that the actual day has arrived. Some moments in life feel too full, too fragile to properly put into words.
So I’ll just say this… telling the story of the haenyeo has been the honor of my life. They have shown me how to walk through life with grace, grit and courage. They have cared for me and the film team as they would their own family. They have strengthened my conviction in how we pass this planet onto our children and grandchildren. They have, since childhood, been my personal heroes and they remain my heroes. This film is a plea and a prayer that their culture and their legacy will continue on forever.
And to the incredible, wonderful, talented, amazing team that made this film alongside me, you have become my family for life. Thank you for pouring your hearts and souls into the telling of this story. This film wouldn’t exist without you.
Okay, that’s it. I hope you all like the film. Thank you for watching. xo

I meant to post something the day the film came out… and then it launched, and the texts, DM’s, press, emails, etc started pouring in and in true introvert fashion, I immediately became overwhelmed and crawled back into my cave.
.
But now that the film has left the nest, I can’t let this moment pass without sending out all of my gratitude, love, and admiration to the two extraordinary people and their incredible families at the center of the film. For those of you who have seen it, you know that Max and Feliks represent the best of what humans can be when we choose to reach in the direction of grace and compassion and empathy and connectivity. There’s so much more that binds us than separates us. I firmly believe that, and my greatest hope for this film is that by watching it, you can believe that too.
.
Thank you to everyone who has sent me messages, posted about the film, recommended it, watched it, shared it, and loved it. But most of all thank you @maxfast23 and @fzemdegs for trusting me to tell the story of your incredible friendship and for showing all of us the beauty and the wisdom that can be found in the hard places.
.
Okay, this is probably my last post about the film, now that it’s out in the world and hopefully living its best life. I’ll be going back to the only thing we should be talking about these days - #blacklivesmatter ✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿

SPOTLIGHT on Sue Kim, Filmmaker, ALWAYS LALISA
Sue Kim came to directing by way of a record label, an ad agency, and a house full of Rubik’s Cubes, and she arrived with a clear eye and a rare gift for earning trust. Female filmmakers are too often asked to prove themselves again and again, and Kim has done it by following her curiosity. She has surrounded herself with the best people for the work, who are almost always women. With ALWAYS LALISA, she took on a subject surrounded by one of the biggest publicity machines in the world, and made a film that is patient, empathetic, and human. We celebrate her work, and we can’t wait to see what’s next. As for our readers, we hope you’ll see ALWAYS LALISA. It offers the unique portrait of a famous female performer from a woman’s point of view.

How much influence should fans have over their favourite idols’ personal lives? 🤔 Always Lalisa's Sue Kim (@suebacca) unpacks the complicated relationship between fandom culture and K-pop’s strict rules.

Was it fate that sent Lisa (@lalalalisa_m) into the global spotlight? 'Always Lalisa,' Sue Kim’s documentary on the global superstar, starts with the K-pop idol-turned-actress and her mother recounting her visit to a fortune teller that ended with a suggestion to change her daughter’s name to Lalisa. It would be a name loved by many, the fortune teller told her mother.
Lisa, whose real name is Lalisa Manobal, remembers the change well. “I think I was 13,” the singer tells The Hollywood Reporter. It’s been a whirlwind year since the cameras stopped rolling for #AlwaysLalisa, which chronicles the singer’s year away from the record-breaking girl group Blackpink.
The pop star explains in the documentary that she and the rest of Blackpink — Jennie, Jisoo and Rosé — promised each other that they’d take a year away from the group to pursue solo endeavors. Throughout that year away, Lisa released her first full-length album, 'Alter Ego,' starred in 'The White Lotus' and snagged herself a Coachella solo lineup spot.
At the link in bio, THR's Nicole Fell speaks with Lisa and Kim about 'Always Lalisa,' which chronicles the K-pop idol's most unguarded year yet.

A year apart gave @blackpinkofficial the space to find themselves individually. For @lalalalisa_m, it also gave her the confidence to speak her mind. “I think we all found ourselves more and more during that break time,” she tells exclusively to Rolling Stone Canada. “And that’s why when we’re back together, we just bring good energy to the team.”
Ahead of the #TIFF premiere of Always Lalisa, Lisa and director Sue Kim open up about the intimate new documentary, burnout, acting, her solo career and what changed when BLACKPINK came back together.

To many, @lalalalisa_m is larger-than-life persona. But at her core, she’s just Lalisa, a singer from Thailand who worked tirelessly for years, joining one of the world’s biggest K-pop girl groups: @blackpinkofficial.
In @suebacca’s ‘Always Lalisa,’ which had its world premiere at @tiff_net over the weekend, the global superstar takes centre stage, opening up about her one-year break from the girl group to reflect on her whole journey, including an early-career controversy.
“Everything I said is the truth,” she tells Billboard Canada. “I just want anyone who’s watching this documentary to understand me a little bit more. Where I'm coming from, or what my background is and what I go through to be me today.”

Pour beaucoup, @lalalalisa_m est une personnalité extraordinaire. Mais au fond, c’est simplement Lalisa, une jeune Thaïlandaise qui a travaillé sans relâche pendant des années pour intégrer l’un des plus grands groupes de K-pop au monde : @blackpinkofficial. Dans Always Lalisa de @suebacca, dont la première mondiale a eu lieu ce week-end au @tiff_net, la superstar mondiale occupe le premier plan et se confie sur la pause d’un an qu’elle a prise au sein du groupe pour faire le point sur tout son parcours, y compris une polémique survenue au début de sa carrière.
« Tout ce que j’ai dit est la vérité », confie-t-elle à Billboard Canada. « Je veux simplement que tous ceux qui regardent ce documentaire me comprennent un peu mieux. D’où je viens, quel est mon parcours et ce que j’ai dû traverser pour devenir celle que je suis aujourd’hui. »

First look at Always Lalisa! This doc follows a year in the life of @lalalalisa_m of @blackpinkofficial and it’s getting its world premiere next week at @tiff_net 🍿
I was honoured to get the first interview with the film’s director @suebacca in today’s @thetorontostar 🗞️
I first met Sue with @malala when they brought The Last of the Sea Women to TIFF, which is brilliant. This doc is very different! It’s for the Blinks and anyone interested in modern day fandom. What is the role of an artist-driven documentary in today’s world, where celebrities can livestream from their phones at any time? What do you wish you knew about Lisa and what can she reveal?
Read more in the Toronto Star and watch for the doc in cinemas worldwide in October ✌🏼

I’m thrilled to announce that Always Lalisa, a feature length documentary about rapper/singer/performer/dancer/actress LISA that I directed and produced, will be having its world premiere at the 2026 Toronto International Film Festival.
I’m so grateful to all of my extraordinary and uber-talented collaborators on this project. I will have so much more to say about the incredible gang of co-conspirators I was blessed to work and travel the world with as we share more details about the film. But for now, I’d like to thank the amazing programming team at TIFF for including us in this year’s Gala Presentation lineup, as well as our friends and partners at Sony Music Vision, RCA Records, @tremolodocs and Team @wearelloud See you in Toronto! #TIFF #AlwaysLalisa

Last night, I had the honor and privilege of presenting a short teaser of my upcoming film documenting LISA’s epic solo year at Sony Music Vision’s Inaugural Upfront to announce their latest slate of music film projects. I’m thrilled to partner with Sony Music Vision, RCA Records, LLOUD CO, Tremolo Productions and my own company, Salt Water Productions on this special project. I’m so excited for everyone to see it!
The third slide is a photo of the directors presenting their projects at the event. That is little me standing in between two absolute LEGENDS of cinema, Baz Luhrmann and Frank Marshall 👀 They were two of the nicest people you could ever imagine and didn’t even ask why this strange girl who clearly got lost on her way to the bathroom was eating their cookies in the green room 💗

Director Sue Kim follows a declining community of women in South Korea—most of them now in their 60s or older—who dive to the ocean floor without oxygen tanks to harvest seafood to feed their community.
