While the trio recently collaborated on the track “Born Again,” sources suggest they will not perform this specific song at the Oscars. Instead, the Academy has hinted at a "legendary" performance that promises to captivate global audiences.

Lisa's participation marks a significant milestone as she becomes the first-ever K-Pop artist to perform at the Oscars. This achievement solidifies her status as a global icon and trailblazer in the music industry.

The news has sparked enthusiastic cheers from fans worldwide eager to witness Lisa’s historic moment. However, some netizens have expressed reservations about the fit of K-Pop at such a prestigious event. Nonetheless, anticipation is high on both sides to see the trio's unique contribution to the Oscars stage.
