BLACKPINK’s Lisa has once again become a topic of discussion online, this time for her rumored upcoming acting role in a Netflix action movie titled “Extraction: Tygo.”
The project is reportedly a spin-off of the popular Extraction series and would mark another step in Lisa’s burgeoning acting career following her Hollywood debut in HBO’s “The White Lotus” Season 3.
Fans were initially excited at the prospect of seeing the K-pop idol expand her portfolio beyond music and showcase her acting skills on a global platform.

Casting Controversy Arises
However, excitement quickly turned into concern when news circulated that actor Lee Jin Wook would also appear in the film.
Lee Jin Wook has previously faced accusations of sexual assault, which, although later dropped, continue to cast a shadow over his reputation.
Social media users expressed discomfort at the idea of Lisa being associated with him in the project.
Comments on X (formerly Twitter) reflected widespread unease and criticism, with some users outright rejecting the casting:
“Putting them in the same action movie is crazy.”
“Not fawkass Lee Jin Wook.”
“That problematic guyyy dawggg.”
Other fans were more focused on the contrast of pairing Lisa with established actors like Ma Dong Seok, expressing mixed feelings about the inclusion of a controversial figure alongside respected performers.
Netflix Confirms Information is Unverified
Adding to the uncertainty, Netflix has clarified that the film has not been officially confirmed, and details about the cast and production remain unverified.
The streaming platform released a short statement urging audiences to wait for official announcements to avoid misinformation and confusion.
