The Hollywood Reporter(@THR):'Always Lalisa' director Sue Kim had hoped to include more Blackpink songs and music videos in her documentary about global star Lisa, but it didn't logistically work out. “Despite our best efforts, we were not allowed to license the music or the footage, so that was it,” Kim says. “That was our only interaction with her previous label and the small amount of the K-pop lore that I wanted to bring into it, we weren’t able to.”
