During the show, the K-pop singer reflected on her 2025 Oscars performance, admitting it left her feeling uncomfortable.

Lisa felt uncomfortable while being suspended in a harness
On Tuesday, Blackpink’s rapper Lisa appeared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” The talk show host initiated a conversation about the Thai singer’s spectacular performance during the 2025 Oscars. The performance was part of the event’s tribute medley to James Bond as she sang “Live and Let Die.” She also shared the stage with Doja Cat and RAYE, delivering a flawless show. Kimmel praised her for looking “elegant and graceful,” but acknowledged it was “kind of scary.”
The musician promptly took this as an opportunity to confess the untold story to Kimmel. She said, “I was like, ‘I am not comfortable doing this!'” When the host asked if she had a choice to avoid the stunt, Lisa shared that her producers checked in on her to ensure she was okay with it. However, the reassurance did not help once she was in mid-air during the performance.
The “scary” moment showed the K-pop idol hovering over a group of dancers in a dramatic black and red outfit. She looked breathtaking as a red light surrounded the stage, intensifying the cinematic experience. Despite the terrifying aerial stunt, Lisa maintained a poised composure and delivered a powerful performance that ended in thunderous cheers from the crowd.
Jimmy Kimmel then shared his experience during one of his hosting stints at the Oscars. He talked about being suspended in a harness and joked, “Gravity squishes everything down.” However, Lisa’s discomfort went beyond the pressure of gravity. She cried how “you can’t really feel your legs” during the act, which lasted for “more than two or three minutes” when she performed.
Nonetheless, the K-pop star delivered a show-stopping performance – a testament to her bravery and ability to act under pressure. Besides the milestone of performing at the Oscars, the segment touched upon her upcoming album, “Alter Ego,” and her role in “The White Lotus,” proving Lisa’s versatility and professionalism as a singer, rapper, dancer, and actor.
