Lisa from BLACKPINK just opened up about a missed opportunity, and it involves Justin Bieber, awkward silence, and a lot of unspoken fangirl feelings.
In a new interview with The Guardian, Lisa, now 27 and fresh off her history-making Oscars performance, admitted that when she met Bieber for the first time, she completely froze. No screaming. No lyric quoting. Just a polite “hi.”
“I didn’t tell him how much I loved him because I’m too shy,” she said. Painfully relatable.
From ‘Baby’ Fan to Global Superstar
Lisa confessed that Bieber’s hit “Baby” was the song she knew *all* the lyrics to growing up. She even called herself a fan “like everyone else” back in the day. But when she finally met him, years into her own superstardom, she stayed silent.
“It was just a quick hi,” she said, making it clear this moment is now her biggest pop culture regret. Considering her global fame, sold-out tours, and jaw-dropping solo debut, it’s wild that *this* is what haunts her. But hey, even Lisa gets starstruck.
Rihanna Got the Love, Though
Unlike her Bieber moment, Lisa didn’t hold back when she crossed paths with Rihanna. “I did tell her how much I love her,” she said and honestly, that tracks. Her go-to party song? Rihanna’s “Work.” Naturally.
Lisa’s always had a foot in both music and fashion, so fangirling over Rihanna – queen of both – feels on brand. And if anyone knows how to fangirl right, it’s Lisa. Unless it’s Bieber, apparently.
Lisa’s Everywhere Right Now
This confession comes right after Lisa made Oscars history earlier this month as the first K-pop act to ever perform at the show. She hit the stage with Doja Cat and RAYE in a Bond-inspired performance that had tuxedos, Margaret Qualley in a red dress, and Lisa belting “Live and Let Die” like she was born in a volcano.
She also just dropped her first solo album, Alter Ego, with features from Doja, Rosalía, Tyla, RAYE, and Megan Thee Stallion. And she’s about to headline Coachella as a solo act before reuniting with BLACKPINK for a summer stadium tour.
With the world at her feet, it’s kind of comforting to know Lisa’s still kicking herself for not blurting out “I love you” to Justin Bieber when she had the chance. Pop stars, they’re just like us. But with more Grammys and better outfits.
