Mike White did not know who Lisa was
In the interview, Lisa told Publications that she had been performing in a blackpink for a long time and was looking for a new opportunity when she got a chance to audition for white lotus. Because she was nervous, she also took a lesson of acting and took her mother with her to Thailand.
Mike said he knew about Jenny Kim from Idol, but he did not know who Lisa was and she did not want to cast her. He said, “I did not know who Lisa or Blackpink was. I knew that there was a blackpink girl in the idol, and I was doing it, we are not doing so. Then I came to know that there may be security issues, and I was just like, not, not. They were liked, he would audition.”
While the producer admits that his audition was ‘amazing’ and that Lisa is ‘good and simple’, “… but I still didn’t want to cast him. I just had so much attention. We don’t need it. We don’t need it. But I wanted to be respectable towards Thailand. I was investigating, so this is a good part,” he said.
