BLACKPINK’s Lisa to Make History as the First K-Pop Artist Performing at the Oscars

Lisa from BLACKPINK to Make Historic Oscars Debut

In a groundbreaking moment for K-pop, Lisa, the globally celebrated member of the iconic group BLACKPINK, is set to become the first K-pop artist ever to grace the stage at the prestigious Academy Awards. This landmark performance will take place during the 97th Oscars ceremony on March 2.

Collaboration with International Stars

Joining Lisa on stage will be American rapper Doja Cat and British singer Raye. The trio has recently teamed up for the new song, Born Again, which will feature on Lisa’s highly anticipated debut album, Alter Ego. While the specifics of their performance remain under wraps, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has teased that this will be “a showstopping celebration of cinema.” Should they choose to perform Born Again, it will mark the track’s live debut, adding to the significance of the event.

A Groundbreaking Moment for K-Pop

Lisa’s appearance at the Oscars is particularly notable as it signals a major milestone for the K-pop genre in the realm of traditional Western entertainment. This moment comes just days after the release of her first full-length album, Alter Ego, which heightens the anticipation for this historic performance.

Lisa’s Stellar Career

This upcoming performance adds yet another achievement to Lisa’s impressive portfolio. Since joining BLACKPINK, she has broken through numerous barriers in the music industry, including an unforgettable performance at Coachella and collaborations with luminaries like Lady Gaga. In 2021, her solo debut Lalisa smashed records, including the title for the most-viewed music video by a solo artist within the first 24 hours according to Guinness World Records.

What to Expect at the Oscars

The Oscars will feature a remarkable lineup of performances, including appearances by other notable artists such as Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, and Queen Latifah. This year’s ceremony will be held at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles and will be broadcast live by ABC starting at 7 p.m. ET. Viewers can also stream the event live on Hulu, with Conan O’Brien hosting the Academy Awards for the first time.
