Excited, proud, happy—these are all words you may expect an idol to use when describing what it was like to finally go solo. With the release of “LALISA,” however, BLACKPINK‘s Lisa had a very different description: “It’s kinda like being pregnant!” Here’s how she explained her comparison.

To celebrate the release of her debut single album, Lisa appeared on Woody Show — a licensed Thai version of The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Naturally, host Woody wanted to know just how Lisa felt about starting her career as a soloist, but Lisa had a very unexpected description.

First and foremost, Lisa gushed, “I’m very excited.” But by the end of her answer, she was surprised the host be stating, “It’s kinda like being pregnant.” Why? Judging by Lisa’s full response, it was all down to the anticipation.
