It looks like Jisoo (김지수) isn’t the only BLACKPINK member to release a music video in recent days. On 14th August 2025, the group’s lead rapper and dancer Lisa (리사) dropped her new short film for “DREAM,” the final track from her debut full-length solo album “Alter Ego”, which debuted earlier this year.
The short film, which the idol has been artfully teasing over the course of a series of Instagram stories and posts, invites audiences to experience a cinematic journey of love and loss. Let’s learn more about the new project:
1. It stars Japanese actor Kentaro Sakaguchi as her love interest
Ever since Lisa teased fans about the video’s release, many had speculated that she was collaborating with Kentaro Sakaguchi, recognising him from the BLACKPINK member’s series of Instagram Stories and spotting him at one of the group’s concerts. In the film, the actor plays her love interest, whose character appears to have passed away, with Lisa’s character shown processing his death throughout the story.
2. “DREAM” is Kentaro Sakaguchi’s 5th music video appearance
Kentaro has starred in numerous films and television series, but he has also made several appearances in artists’ music videos. Lisa’s “DREAM” marks the 5th music video appearance of his career.
3. It was directed by OJun Kwon
The “DREAM” was written and directed by OJun Kwon, who has worked on numerous idol music videos, including ALL DAY PROJECT’s “WICKED”, BTS Jungkook’s “3D”, Henry Lau’s “Real Love Still Exists (featuring Yuna)”, and BTS’s “Butter (Performance Video)”.
4. Lisa is seen wearing a Dilara Findikoglu outfit
Shortly after the video was released, fans instantly recognised one of the pieces worn by Lisa. During the funeral scene, the singer is seen wearing a piece from Dilara Findikoglu’s Fall 2025 Ready-to-Wear collection.
