In a surprising twist that proves the singer’s popularity, her reposting of the teaser on social media appears to be more popular than the trailer itself.
The famous singer is seen in character at the beginning of the trailer, wearing a modest hotel uniform.
She is also seen later in the preview in a more glamorous outfit, which is more in line with her familiar K-pop image.
The third season of the hit series was filmed on location in Lisa’s home country Thailand and follows a group of high-flying tourists who want to enjoy a stay in the exotic White Lotus hotel.
Based on the trailer, fans can expect plenty of intrigue as the characters try to connect with a new “spirituality and well-being.”
Few plot details are revealed in the preview, but at one point a narrator suggests that the characters might be in for a rough ride.
“Everyone runs from pain to pleasure, but when they get there, all they find is more pain,” the voice says.
Elsewhere in the video, a gun flashes on screen, followed by steamy scenes of characters falling into bed.
Longtime fans of the show will be pleased to see the return of Natasha Rothwell as spa manager Belinda Lindsey.
