95
but girl vacation i know lisa calls you answer please so
96
and we made it happen yeah where do you live in thailand still oh i my parents still in thailand
97
so i go back and forth a lot and as you know
98
because of the white lotus i was there for like six months back it must have been
99
so nice that must have been amazing every day in the morning i have fresh coconut water
100
pad thai yum so good you were so good in
101
that television show thank you you were amazing you were you know what's
102
so funny is i obviously listen to your music but and obviously you are So famous.
103
But it is so amazing when I don't feel like I'm watching Lisa.
104
Like that's what acting is.
105
That's an actress.
106
And you completely slipped into this role.
107
I believed it.
108
I was like, she works at the hotel.
109
I totally believed it.
110
It was really, it was amazing.
111
Thank you.
112
You were wonderful.
113
How'd you get that?
114
How'd you book that?
115
How did Mike White just call you?
116
No, I auditioned for it.
117
Okay, I feel better about my career.
118
When Lisa has to audition.
119
I auditioned for it.
120
I feel better.
121
Like I film myself a self tape.
122
No, you did a self tape.
123
I'm being.
124
Yes.
125
Me and my manager, Alice.
126
She's the one who like back and forth with my all the lines and like, yeah.
127
And in L .A., I film it in L .A.
128
Wow.
129
Yeah.
130
I was so bad.
131
I watched it recently.
132
No. I rewatched it.
133
I was like, oh, my God, that self tape.
134
Like, I don't want anyone to see it.
135
My self tape for a show that I'm on called Adults.
136
I watched the original self -tape and it truly, I actually think they should fire me.
137
Truly, I'm like, did anyone see this?
138
It's horrible.
139
I think because you're finding the role, you don't know what they want.
140
It's so much easier to be with the director or the creators and like talk to them about the role.
141
And it's so hard to just like read lines and be like, what do you, what do you, what do you, and just imagination, do whatever.
142
But I think that's what they want.
143
Right, of course.
144
Right. Of course.
145
So I was like, yeah, same, it's so bad.
146
And even though like I have to fly in and like audition in front of Mike White again,
147
I'm like, oh, I think I was like shaking.
148
I said something wrong.
149
Like my line is like not the right one.
150
That always happens.
151
That always happens.
152
I remember during an audition that I had this this guy.
153
It was supposed to be like an intimate scene with me and this guy.
154
And he is supposed it was a callback and he was supposed to touch my face.
155
And he touched my face.
156
And I literally was like, I said out loud i was like god
157
you're kind of hot out loud i didn't mean to say it it just came out
158
and then i was like oops sorry sorry can't help i was like literally sorry
159
that slipped out but of course it's you're it's awkward it's awkward to be in front of someone and and
160
or i'm sure it was more than just him i'm sure it was i was basically like him and
161
and i told my mom to like oh can you wait outside like i don't want
162
you to be in this room totally totally oh that's
163
so sweet are you sure i'm like yes that is so sweet
164
and then you booked the role yes the day after um the one of the team called me
165
and congrats me
166
and they said like oh mike white really want to congrats
167
you by himself like let's do a meeting like assume
168
and i'm like oh my gosh that's emotional that's crazy
169
i cried did you know what the white lotus was like i guess
170
it had yes there have been multiple seasons yes by this point
171
but it just your season had such weight it was
172
so fun it was amazing I know I know like I didn't want to read
173
the whole script yeah of course like I was just trying to read only mine
174
because I don't want to like
175
because you don't want to know I want to watch with everyone else did you at the same yes
176
I didn't know how it ends
177
no you're lying no I'm being serious
178
so what yeah I told I told my co
179
I told my co -actor um gaitok the one who played gaitok tame amazing don't don't tell me anything
180
but he kept like say something and i'm like so mad at him every single time i'm like team stop
181
you're ruining it for me i know oh my god
182
so you didn't know what happened so you had to watch with everyone else
183
and you actually watched it every week yes yes
184
so i mean no so because because i have to check everything before it goes totally oh so you watch the screeners.
185
So we have like a little special link and then I was like You're shocked.
186
Yeah.
187
Except the last one.
188
I think the last one we didn't watch it.
189
The finale.
190
Yeah, the finale.
191
I think we didn't watch from the special link.
192
And you watched it with everyone.
193
Wow.
194
That's actually amazing.
195
See, I'm if I don't know, if I had the scripts to the White Lotus I would.
196
Oh my god, I'd be devouring it.
197
I'd be literally posting it.
198
I'd be going on live.
199
I'd be like, you guys
200
Because you never know what happened.
201
I cannot believe you had the self -restraint to sit there with Mike White's writing and just be like,
202
I want to be present and find out what happens with everyone else.
203
It probably actually helped your role, though, to not know what happened.
204
Yeah, because I don't really know what
205
Sky Talk going, like they're doing.
206
Exactly.
207
The whole thing is that you don't know.
208
Whoa.
209
That's crazy.
210
So where are you in acting now?
211
Do you want to keep acting?
212
I found it fun, actually.
213
You're amazing.
214

444
Like we stay at the same dorm for how long?
445
Like six years, six, seven years.

448
I could not take it.
449
I dropped out of college after two weeks.
450
You're like, I can't do that.
451
I could not do it.
452
That's amazing.
453
And it's like a conservatory.
454
It's nonstop dancing and singing.
455
And what happened when you realized that you guys were probably the biggest K -pop group in the world?
456
You weren't just big in Korea.
457
You were big everywhere.
458
How was that?
459
Still can't believe that.
460
I mean, it's amazing.
461
Did it feel real?
462
Did it feel fake?
463
No, not really but i think the 2019 coachella was the like the turning point for every single of us
464
that like oh wow like we're like they
465
so many people love our music that's how
466
when we start to like oh this is real yeah like before
467
that we're just like okay okay we're doing great
468
but like we don't see the amount but you know but like
469
when we were there on stage 20 uh 2019 it's just like oh no the crowd was unbelievable
470
and you're in la this isn't this
471
and everyone knew all the lyrics to every song yeah
472
and the dances
473
and everything even though it's korean in korean
474
they like they still like yeah it's really amazing wow okay i love blackpink i love blackpink i love blackpink
475
so kind of piggybacking off of this was there a moment when you're like oh my god i'm famous
476
oh my god oh my god i'm famous
477
i don't know was there ever like i mean you're lisa like it's pretty crazy like you're what

484
but it's just like it's this is this is just
485
it yeah you're like i'm this is what i would do even
486
if there was one person in the audience oh yeah i would have like a private show for my mom

491
i would love i would literally love to be that um okay
492
so you didn't speak any korean at the time no
493
so you had to you learned all korean in korea how many years did
494
that take um i think like one uh two to three
495
years two to three years to learn a whole language yeah
496
but like i feel like jisoo helped helped me a lot
497
oh yeah like she she didn't go back to her place
498
when like every weekend usually like all the girls like go back to their parents you know
499
but jesus stayed she's like i'm gonna hang out with you lisa i'm like sure

625
and we were like okay like why don't we just you know reconnect to who i really am you know
626
and i'm like sure because i spend a lot of time in thailand these days yeah
627
and i feel like it's
628
so great to be back home being surrounded with your you know your family
629
and your best friends from since you're little you know it's like it's
630
so nice and then i i feel like i found myself again like i'm back to my root
631
so that was like that was it
632
and then they have me listen to this like you know we have like
633
so many ideas that we want to put like a a tie instrument into the song
634
or something like that we have so many stuff
635
so you know you just gonna have to wait but
636
but this song um they have me listen
637
i was like oh my god i love this wow i love this so much
638
and then i was like okay like let's talk about how
639
the second verse should be you know like i was like i contact to the writer
640
that i like i used to work with and then
641
so many ideas and then i was like oh i want to switch this i want to switch
642
that like we should keep this we should change that's producing
643
you're a producer that's a that's no i was just more like an idea
644
i don't know i get it i get it
645
but that's that's awesome i think this this is a good start for me oh i love
646
that that's a good start
647
so i'm like oh i i don't have to do the whole thing from the scratch by myself
648
because i feel like i have a good team i have a good people surrounded me
649
and definitely yeah i feel like i'm now i'm more confident little by little
650
you know give it a little idea here
651
and there it's like it's fun for me it's a fun progress yeah
652
it's amazing first of all
653
i didn't ask this before what does swatika mean swatika yeah
654
means hello in thai oh yeah wait swatika do you remember uh mook
655
you said yes welcome to the white lotus in thailand i have chills of course okay that's amazing okay
656
so you that's why you're back to your your your roots yes that's why oh i love
657
that it's really exciting yeah because you were with blackpink for
658
so long now is it like oh my god i'm on stage alone oh
659
that hits me like last year at coachella i think
660
i was like oh my god like i i did coachella with blackpink twice with them twice
661
and now it's like it's my solo stage
662
i'm like how i'm gonna survive this 50 minutes alone on stage like it's scary it's really scary it is
663
but you're born for it i was like manifest
664
i was like i can do this i can do this
665
i can you're born for it do you say something to yourself before
666
you go on stage do you say do you have like a mantra not really
667
but i'm just like pray before i go up
668
i'm just like okay like yeah okay like i'm here to like perform
669
you know it's like it's a little like simple thing
670
but definitely but that's make me like you know trying to calm make me calm
671
and then yeah it's like i don't want to pressure myself too much before
672
i go on stage you can't you can't
673
because then you put too much expectations on it yeah
674
and then you're always you're always gonna fall short of expectations always always
675
so it's like we we can do mistakes
676
it's fine like you know as long as we're we're having a good time
677
they're having a good time with me
678
then then it's all good from the outside i don't feel like you ever make a mistake
679
but do you make a mistake on stage every single time really what is it like a dance movie yeah
680
it's like what i did this for like forever
681
but like it's just wrong i don't know why maybe I watch too much TikTok
682
about and it's like it's a different side you know what I mean?
683
Usually I do like this but when you watch TikTok it's like Oh!
684
It's mirrored I got confused
685
It's mirrored Yeah I'm like damn
686
That's hilarious I need to stop yeah watch myself What?
687
I watch myself all the time
688
Can't stop No I'm obsessed I'm obsessed I'm obsessed with watching myself
689
and I name search on Twitter Do you know what that is?
690
What is?
691
Like you look yourself up on Twitter.
692
Uh -huh.
693
I do that for myself.
694
I do that too.
695
But it's never nice about me.
696
It's nice about you.
697
That's never nice about me as well.
698

699

708
This is human.
709
Yeah.
710
We love, we hate.
711
It's fine.
712
Wow, that's actually a great outlook.
713
It's okay.
714
It's okay.
715
I get so in my head about it.
716
And I start wanting to change things about myself.
717
But I guess...
718
I shouldn't.
719
It's their opinion.
720
I mean, it's really hard to make everyone loves you.
721
You know?
722
Totally.
723
It's like you can't control that.
724
And it's fine, I think.
725
I used to try to fix myself the way they want me to be.
726
Same.
727
The way they want to see me.
728
Same.
729
But I feel like that's not who I am.
730
And if they can't deal with it, it's not my fault.
731
wow that's amazing no no that is trying to like make
732
and anyone like feel bad
733
but like no feel bad sometimes you can't control you know something of course it's it's their opinion
734

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
