BLACKPINK’s Lisa is stepping into the world of emotional storytelling with Japanese actor Kentaro Sakaguchi, confirming their much-speculated collaboration. After months of dating rumors and curiosity about their bond, the duo will now share the screen in a short film based on Lisa’s solo track Dream, from her 2024 album Alter Ego.
Lisa and Kentaro Sakaguchi’s Painful Love Story Unfolds
The official trailer, released on August 12, offers a glimpse into a bittersweet romance that ends in heartbreak. Earlier promotional material showed Lisa embracing a man wearing a matching couple ring — a hint now confirmed to be Kentaro Sakaguchi.
Speaking in Japanese, Kentaro delivers an emotional farewell in the teaser:
“We ended, just like that. All good things must come to an end, and so did we. Nothing in this world can rewind time. So all I could do was to just look at you. One last time. I couldn’t do anything.”
The visuals show Lisa and Kentaro as a blissfully happy couple, sharing tender and joyful moments. But as the story progresses, their relationship transitions into silence and distance. Despite his desire to stop her from leaving, Kentaro’s character is powerless — marking the core of the heartbreak portrayed in the short film.
Dream Short Film Release Date and Expectations
Fans believe the storyline may have been inspired by personal experiences, adding to the intrigue surrounding the project. The cinematic trailer hints at a deeply emotional narrative that pairs Lisa’s poignant track with striking visuals of love lost.
Set against a dreamy backdrop, the Dream short film captures the progression of a relationship from passion to separation, reflecting themes of nostalgia, longing, and acceptance. Lisa’s performance, paired with Kentaro’s emotional depth, is already drawing praise from fans across the globe.
Dream is scheduled for release on August 13 at 11 PM ET, and anticipation is high among BLINKs and drama lovers alike. Whether inspired by real life or purely fictional, this short film looks set to become one of the most talked-about K-pop visual projects of the year.
