BLACKPINK's Lisa made history at the 2025 Academy Awards as she became the first K-pop idol to ever perform at the Oscars. She paid a special tribute to the legendary James Bond franchise, alongside British singer Raye and American rapper Doja Cat.
Dressed in a long black gown, Lisa delivered a powerful performance on the song Live and Let Die from the 1973 James Bond film of the same name. It was originally sung by Paul McCartney and Wings. Take a look:
