Lisa is set on global domination. Not happy settling on starring in one of the world's biggest TV shows (The White Lotus), being in the biggest girlband in the world (Blackpink), and working with the most storied fashion houses including Louis Vuitton, she is now entering the music-tech space with a pair of Earbuds designed with Bose. Inspired by her own taste in ear cuff earrings, the collaboration is bringing a new music experience to her fans.

'Bose is known for their high quality sound which really is important for an artist like me, so it just felt right to do it,' she tells ELLE UK over the phone.

'I listen to my music all the time,' she says laughing. On her playlist right now? 'It’s Maroon 5's "Priceless", featuring Lisa,' she says. Naturally. Her favourite place to sit back and listen to the track is in Hawaii. 'Everything sounds better in Hawaii,' she adds.

For as much as the Earbuds prioritise an unrivalled listening experience, they also look good. Something that has long been at the forefront of this artist's output. ' I like going for a minimalistic look,' she says of the sleek design.

Despite a meteoric rise to fame that has expanded her horizons and fanbase from simply Kpop to a whole world of admirers, one thing has not changed: her approach to what she wears. 'I don't think my style has changed over the years. I prefer wearing clothes that are comfortable and that I feel good in.'

As summer draws closer, the 28-year-old star is starting to plot her plans. 'I would love to try sky diving! Hopefully, I can also take a short break in summer so looking forward to a vacation would be nice,' she admits. 'I personally love jelly shoes – they are comfortable and perfect for summer.'

You can't be a British journalist and meet with an artist in the run up to Glastonbury without posing the question on if they'd like to headline. Lisa's response? 'I would love to headline Glastonbury, for sure. I would need to think more on what the set would be like! Maybe, hopefully, it would be with some more [new] music.'

Her foresight and enthusiasm to the question proves that if anyone is loving life right now then it's Lisa. 'My favourite part of being Lisa is that I get to explore different opportunities and keep doing what I love to do.' And just like that she's off to conquer another corner of the world... whatever next?
