In its September 6, 2026 report, Sports Kyunghyang says BLACKPINK’s Lisa tearfully recounts in the documentary Always Lalisa that she arrived in Korea as a 14‑year‑old trainee and “did not dare to speak up.” The article reports she describes strict monthly evaluations and dating restrictions under the K‑pop system and says that after founding her independent label LLOUD she is finally living on her own terms. The documentary is scheduled for a world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 11, 2026.
