BLACKPINK's Lisa makes Netflix debut on Hitmakers only to REJECT unfinished songs, here's what happened next
The series offers a rare behind-the-scenes look into songwriting camps, where each group collaborates under pressure to produce the next big hit. But fans tuning in especially for Lisa were in for a surprise. The BLACKPINK star doesn't make her official appearance until the final episode.
Lisa's song challenge in Hitmakers
Though her name was teased throughout the season, Lisa officially entered the Hitmakers spotlight in Episode 6. One day before the finale's release, on July 23, Netflix dropped a teaser clip of the singer. She was seen addressing the contestants via video message.
In the clip, Lisa thanks the songwriters for their efforts and lays down her challenge. 'The type of song I'm looking for... I want something catchy and upbeat. Not too slow, because I'm a performer, so I have to dance,' she says. 'And it would be nice if there's a rap verse as well. I love hip-hop. I'm so excited to see what you guys come up with.'
Her brief but enthusiastic appearance quickly went viral online, with fans eager to hear what the talented participants would deliver.
Lisa picks Eleven as favorite track in Hitmakers
Over the course of Episode 6, viewers watch the creative process unfold as teams compete to craft the perfect Lisa-style track. In the end, three original songs are presented: Eleven, Back in Business, and HOT.
The songs were presented to Lisa in their unfinished form. She turned down Back in Business and HOT, but saw promise in the third track. Ultimately, Lisa picked Eleven as her top choice. She notes that she particularly loves the energy and vibe but suggests that the chorus could use some tweaking. According to the show, Lisa is seriously considering recording Eleven, once the hook is polished to be even catchier.
Whether you're a fan of BLACKPINK, curious about how hit songs are made, or just love competition reality shows, Hitmakers has something for everyone. The show offers a unique blend of music industry insight and star power.
Lisa's presence, although limited to the finale, leaves a lasting impression. It also raises the anticipation for a possible official release of Eleven. Meanwhile, all six episodes of Hitmakers are now available to stream on Netflix.

Son of Sardaar 2 Movie Review: Not Ajay Devgn or Mrunal Thakur, it is Ravi Kishan who makes a bogus and bonkers film bearable
'Son of Sardaar 2' is back with its ensemble cast including Ajay Devgn, Ravi Kishan, Sanjay Mishra, Mrunal Thakur, Neeru Bajwa, Chunky Panday, Kubbra Sait, Deepak Dobriyal, Vindu Dara Singh, Roshni Walia, Sharat Saxena, Sahil Mehta, and a posthumous appearance by the late Mukul Dev. But is the film worth watching? read more Cast: Ajay Devgn, Mrunal Thakur, Ravi Kishan, Neeru Bajwa, Deepak Dobriyal, Kubbra Sait, Chunky Panday, Sharat Saxena, Mukul Dev, Vindu Dara Singh and Sanjay Mishra Director: Vijay Kumar Arora Sometimes, I wonder why Bollywood makes such movies? We don't need star-studded films like Son of Sardaar 2. We need good stories and good craftsmen. Filmmakers need to understand that audiences have evolved, they know what is good cinema and what is bad cinema? They are literate enough to differentiate between the two. So, do not underestimate or take your audiences for granted dear Bollywood. And let me tell you nobody, literally nobody is star-struck. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD A still from Son of Sardaar 2 You give us some good-looking faces, foreign destinations and some over age stars who don't even know what age-appropriate acting is and we will be happy? Is that what you think? Just forget it. Audiences today are way more intelligent than what you think them to be. They have got exposure to good cinema and they definitely know what you are feeding us is sheer garbage. Directed by Vijay Kumar Arora, the film is a sequel to Ajay Devgn and Sonakshi Sinha starrer Son of Sardaar which was supposedly a 2012 hit. But _Son of Sardaar 2_ is cringe, it's not even a comedy. It just shows a low sense of humour. While watching the film, I asked a well-known trade expert who was sitting right behind me as to why does Bollywood make movies like this? To which he said, 'to make us laugh.' Honestly, are sense of humour is way superior and this kind of distasteful movie, can never make us laugh. This film is just snore worthy. Ajay Devgn is in the titular role and this time he is paired with Mrunal Thakur. Looks like in Bollywood male actors refuse to age or even attempt to do age-appropriate movies. Wonder why Mrunal Thakur even agreed to sign in for this? The only actor's performance which was worth watching is Ravi Kisha. This actor truly knows his craft and makes even a badly written mindlessly scripted film watchable. But again, a man who has done such brilliant performances in the past like Kiran Rao's directorial film Laapataa Ladies and Netflix's Maamla Legal Hai, why did he even agree to be part of this project which has such a bogus storyline. Sorry to say the movie is entertaining only in some parts of it, otherwise it is just mindless. I totally hated the 'cringe-worthy' pairing of Ajay Devgn (56) and Mrunal Thakur (33). And Chunky Pandey, what were you even doing in this film? STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Rating: 1 and half out of 5
