Watch: Lisa says goodbye to Kentaro Sakaguchi in 'Dream' short film
Aug. 14 (UPI) -- Lalisa Manobal, better known as K-pop superstar Lisa, is back with a new music video. The Thai singer and actress, 28, released the official short film for "Dream" featuring Japanese actor Kentaro Sakaguchi on Thursday. Lisa portrays a grieving widow in the music video, which opens with a funeral service for her fictional husband (Sakaguchi). She reflects on moments they shared together as she sings "I know a place where we can be us. I know it ain't real, but it's real enough. From sun going down to sun coming up, it's like you're here with me, whenever I close my eyes." She remembers a moment in particular when she asked him what he wanted to be in his next life. After she said she wanted to be a tree, he said, "Then I want to become a lake in front of that tree. There's something magical about the way trees reflect on the lake. So I want to be the lake." The film ends as Lisa spreads his ashes in a lake. Lisa described the song as "an emotional, beautiful story," in a previous post promoting the music video. The song is featured on her album Alter Ego, which dropped in February. Lisa is also a member of Blackpink, alongside Jisoo, Jennie and Rose. The South Korean girl group is on tour through January. They released "Jump," their first single of the year, in July. Solve the daily Crossword

"What ring of Hell is this?" Wednesday asks upon seeing her. Weems had died in Season 1. "This isn't hell, Miss Addams," Weems says. "But I understand the confusion." "If I'm not dead than why are you here?" Wednesday asks. "Because I am your new spirit guide. Surprise." The trailer shows Wednesday contending with her new companion and Tyler (Hunter Doohan), who is planning to kill Wednesday and Enid (Emma Myers). An earlier trailer for Season 2 showed Wednesday navigating a disturbing vision upon her return to Nevermore Academy. "She learns that her best friend and roommate Enid Sinclair will die -- and that she's somehow responsible," an official synopsis reads. The sophomore season also stars Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzman and Isaac Ordonez as Morticia, Gomez and Pugsley Addams, respectively.
