Lisa steps into heartbreak: Blackpink star channels grief in ‘Dream' music video (VIDEO)
According to Billboard, the five-minute clip directed by OJun Kwon sees Lisa using her acting skills — the Kpop girl group superstar starred as Mook, a a health-guru type in The White Lotus — as a heartbroken widow haunted by memories of her partner.
It opens with the singer in funeral attire placing a white flower on his casket, before the video shifts to scenes of happier days — road trips, late-night stops, and playful moments that highlight the couple's bond.
As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that her lover is gone.
Lisa is shown carrying his ashes to a lake, recalling a conversation where they shared dreams of another life together.
The video ends with her scattering his remains, symbolising both loss and longing.
Sakaguchi, known for his roles in Japanese dramas and films, currently stars in Netflix's Beyond Goodbye, where he plays Naruse Akihito, a man whose fate becomes entangled with a grieving woman.
Lisa, meanwhile, continues to enjoy solo success.
She recently picked up her third MTV Video Music Awards nomination for Best K-pop with Born Again, and is on tour with Blackpink, with the group set to perform at London's Wembley Stadium this month.

Fivio Foreign Says He ‘Can't Say a Nas Bar' Despite Them Having a Song Together
The Jim Jones vs. Nas debate—started by Capo himself—continues. On Sunday (Aug. 17), Jones debuted his new podcast, Artist 2 Artist, where he sat down with New York rapper Fivio Foreign. At one point, Jones brought up fellow New Yorker Nas, which prompted Fivio to share his own take on the venerated Queens artist. 'I'm not saying that the man is wack, he's not a legend,' Fivio said at around the 46:30 minute mark. 'I got a song with the n***a—I got a song on the album and the album got a Grammy. But I can't sit there and say a Nas bar to you or a song.' He then proceeded to name a song. 'I like 'One Mic,'' he said, referencing the 2001 Stillmatic album cut.

'I understand. That's what I want the people to know—but I can 'cause Nas was my era. … I came up fucking with Nas. I know the Nas shit. … But moving forward, I started a whole new era in a whole new genre and a generation of people. I just be doing me.' The discourse surrounding Capo and Nas began in late June, when Jones appeared on Fat Joe and Jadakiss' podcast and boasted about his achievements. 'They forget, I got a hell of a catalog. Gold records, platinum records. ... Check my track record. Then check everybody else track record," he said. "If you want to go to the Billboard entries, pull up Nas' Billboard entries and pull up my Billboard entries." Jones, as a solo artist, has had two of his songs reach the Billboard Hot 100, one of which made it into the Top 10. Nas has 27 Hot 100 entries and two Top 10 hits — though in Jones' defense, Nas was a featured artist, not the primary one, on both of them, while Jones was the sole artist on his No. 5 hit, 2006's "We Fly High." Jones has nine albums that have charted on the Billboard 200 albums chart, while Nas has 24. Of Nas' entries on the album chart, 16 landed in the Top 10, and six reached No. 1. The Jim Jones/Nas debate continued days after the Dipset capo's initial statement. On Shannon Sharpe and Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson's podcast, Nightcap, Sharpe challenged Jones. 'Were you smoking when you said you were better than Nas?' Sharpe asked, which prompted Jones to declare that he's 'way more influential than Nas.' Jones was once again asked about the comparison on the BagFuel podcast, where he said he made Nas go 'viral.' Jones added, 'He's never been talked about like this ever in his life." As Fivio pointed out, he and ASAP Ferg appeared on Nas' song 'Spicy' from his 2020 album, King's Disease, which won the Grammy for Best Rap Album in 2021. Fivio also recently hopped on Jones' 2024 song, 'Cinema,' alongside Dyce Payso and Keen Streetz.

‘Your Labubu's Labubu needs a Labubu.' These 4 items show we might be at peak accessory
Lip balm on your phone case. A backpack on a Stanley. A Labubu for your Labubu. Cute branded accessories are nothing new. For decades, consumers have been enticed by the prospect of collecting aesthetically pleasing knickknacks, from Troll dolls to Tamagotchis. Recently, though, the accessory craze has taken a meta turn: Every accessory now needs to have its own accessory. Consider the recent excitement around Labubu dolls as a prime example. These bug-eyed elves, designed for the sole purpose of being attached to a bag or clothing, helped their parent company, Pop Mart, triple its profits in 2024 to a total of $920 million. The fever is still raging, with fans clambering to buy new colors and styles—and even potentially dangerous knockoffs. As quirky bag charms like the Labubu have taken off, the accessory's accessory has become part of the mainstream. It's been legitimized by major brands like Prada, which sells a $1,350 robot bag charm; Louis Vuitton, which offers a beaded phone strap that can only be purchased by contacting the company; and, most recently, Kendall Jenner's 818 tequila brand, which turned its mini shooters into a keychain. 'Accessory-ception' appears to be a new way for brands across a diverse range of categories to tap into the demand for collectibles—and a sure sign that accessory culture has gone too far. Here are four of the wildest accessories for accessories we've seen so far. Rhode phone case Rhode's $35 lip gloss phone cases, which debuted in February 2024, are exactly what they sound like: two custom phone cases with purpose-built slots for carrying (Rhode-branded) lip gloss. Before they even launched, both cases already had a waitlist. After they sold out and relaunched two months later, those waitlists numbered in the hundreds of thousands. The lip case inspired hundreds of TikTok reviews, DIY tutorials, and even a parody from Heinz ketchup —and its success showed other brands that the meta accessory could serve as both a popular collectible and a wearable marketing opportunity. Stanley backpacks The Stanley tumbler, which absolutely dominated the internet—and cupholders nationwide—in late 2023 and early 2024, has become perhaps the most famous canvas for the endless accessorization cycle. Stanley itself sells a backpack of sorts for its famous tumbler, as well as a keychain for said tumbler that's also shaped like, you guessed it, a tumbler. But the Stanley accessorization gets even stranger in the world of TikTok Stanley packers. Within this subgenre, social media creators have found a shocking number of ways to further accessorize their Stanleys until they're almost unrecognizable. In one TikTok with 270,000 views, creator @missyysparks shows herself packing her Stanley for Christmas shopping, a task that involves clipping a lip gloss, a container of Tylenol, and a tumbler keychain full of cough drops to the water bottle. In another video with 279,000 views, creator @nicolepamelaaa preps for a 'hot girl walk' by affixing an entire snack platter of cheese and grapes to the top of her cup, as well as tucking a tiny tumbler with a single shot of energy drink into her Stanley's backpack. 'Is the walk the Oregon Trail by any chance?' one commenter wrote. 'Why does your Stanley have a Stanley?' another asked. Our question exactly. Owala bottle charm In light of this dystopian Stanley accessorization spiral, other water bottle companies have attempted to put their own spin on the trend. This June, Owala collaborated with the jewelry company Made by Mary to create a necklace with a tiny Owala-shaped charm, accompanied by a sparkly Owala bottle with a mini version of itself attached as a charm. The bundle cost $99.99 and sold out—giving Owala superfans a meta-accessory to flex on less deep-pocketed water bottle enthusiasts. Labubu for your Labubu Generally, Labubus are the epitome of the meta-accessory trend: They serve no purpose other than to look aesthetically pleasing (debatable), and they can be dressed up in a variety of tiny outfits, which has led third-party sellers to create such necessities as Labubu wigs, jerseys, hats, and car seats. Thus, it was only a matter of time before someone found a way to give a Labubu its own Labubu. One Redditor in the subreddit r/labubu did just that by sourcing a mini version of the doll and affixing it to the original keychain-style. 'A Labubu for my Labubu,' the post's caption reads. 'It's a Lalabububu or a Labulabububu,' one commenter responded. Another added, 'Your Labubu's Labubu needs a Labubu.'
