Lisa, a member of the girl group BLACKPINK, became the first K-pop star to appear on the Oscars stage, captivating fans around the world.
Lisa drew attention by attending the 97th Academy Awards held at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles on the morning of the 3rd (Korea time) as a guest on the celebratory stage.
On this day, Lisa was the first K-pop star to be named a guest on the Academy Awards celebration stage, drawing much anticipation. Lisa, who appeared on the red carpet wearing a unique dress with a tuxedo motif, showed a completely different charm on the tribute celebration stage of the '007' series, which took place in the middle of the ceremony. Lisa dominated the stage with her second part, following Margaret Qualley Performance, who received attention for the film 'Substance' (directed by Corraly Parza).
After Margaret Qualley finished her dance performance, Lisa came down to the stage on a wire from the ceiling to open the celebratory stage. Lisa, who wore a black dress with colorful beaded decorations and impressive frill designs, caught the eye at once with a look reminiscent of a Bond girl. Hollywood stars were also fascinated by Lisa's performance with elegant dance and stable live performance, boasting her angular beauty with a deep-cut side slit dress. Lisa sang the original sound track of '007 Live and Let Die'(73, directed by Guy Hamilton) to further boost the enthusiasm of the Academy Awards.
Following Lisa, American rapper Doja Cat sang 'Diamonds are Forever' and British singer-songwriter Ray sang 'Skyfall'. Lisa, Doja Cat, and Ray went back on stage together after the celebratory stage and received a lot of applause for congratulating Hollywood actors.
Meanwhile, this year's Academy Awards received a lot of attention, with Sean Baker's work 'Anora', which tells the story of a sex worker. 'Anora' is a story about Anora, who works as a stripper in New York, when she meets the second generation of a Russian conglomerate as a customer. Before the award ceremony, 'Anora', which was considered a leading candidate for the award, was selected as the best work representing Hollywood this year without any unexpected changes, and received many congratulations. 'Anora' took home five trophies, including the Best Picture, Best Actress, Best Director, Best Screenplay, and Best Editing.
In addition, 'Anora' became a new Academy Award ceremony 'Cinderella' when the main character Mikey Madison beat Demi Moore, a strong favorite, to win the Best Actress Award. Mikey Madison, who won acclaim for her role as stripper Anora in `Anora,' is 26 this year, becoming the second female lead in her 20s after Jennifer Lawrence of"Silver Linings Playbook" (directed by David O. Russell), who won the youngest actress award at the age of 22 at the 85th Academy Awards in 2013.
The best actor award was also a twist. This year's Academy Award for Best Actor went to Adrian Brody from 'Brutalist' (directed by Brady Kobe). Adrian Brody is the youngest actor to win the best actor award at the 75th Academy Awards in 2003 when he was 29. He won the Best Actor Award by beating Timothy Chalamet of 『Complete Unknown" (directed by James Mangold), who played Bob Dylan, a leading candidate for the award.
The first Oscar nomination for supporting actor Kieran Culkin, brother of Dominican-American immigrants Joe Saldana and Macaulay Culkin, also received a lot of applause.
