The global entertainment industry was sent into a frenzy in early 2026 when news broke that Lalisa Manobal, famously known as Lisa from BLACKPINK, was spotted not on a concert stage, but on rugged film sets across Indonesia.
Following her highly anticipated acting debut in HBO’s The White Lotus Season 3, Lisa has officially entered the “Extraction” universe.
Filming for the Netflix original movie titled Extraction: Tygo, Lisa has spent the last few months immersed in the diverse landscapes of Indonesia—specifically the historic streets of Jakarta, the exotic Bali, to the dramatic terrains of Bandung.
Part 1: Lisa BLACKPINK Spotted Enjoying a Night Out in Uluwatu, Bali
Amidst her busy international filming schedule in Indonesia, BLACKPINK’s youngest member, Lalisa Manobal—better known as Lisa Blackpink—has once again surprised fans. This time, the global superstar was spotted relaxing at a luxury beach club in the scenic Uluwatu area of Bali.
A Relaxed Moment in Uluwatu
Lisa’s presence on the Island of the Gods began making waves in late February 2026. In videos circulating widely on social media, Lisa appeared in casual attire, fully immersed in the music during a set by DJ Disco Lines.
In stark contrast to her grand stage persona, Lisa looked incredibly relaxed, dancing and enjoying the atmosphere without heavy, visible security.
She was reportedly visiting Savaya Bali, one of the island’s most iconic cliffside venues known for its spectacular views of the Indian Ocean.
Part 2: The Tactical Terrain of Bandung (Karst Citatah)
The production began with a bang—literally—in the Karst Citatah area of West Bandung. While Bandung is often associated with cool cafes and colonial architecture, the film crew chose the Cipatat District for its raw, prehistoric aesthetic.
Why Citatah?
The limestone cliffs of Citatah provided the perfect backdrop for what rumors suggest is a high-stakes “extraction” gone wrong in a mountainous region. The sharp, jagged rocks and the vast open quarries offered a “war zone” vibe that is difficult to replicate in a studio.
The Experience on Set
Locals and lucky fans reported seeing massive pyrotechnics and military-grade vehicles being transported to the site. Lisa was reportedly seen performing some of her own stunts, utilizing the agility she developed as BLACKPINK’s main dancer to navigate the rocky terrain.
For Bandung, this isn’t just a movie; it’s a showcase. The Stone Garden and the Pawon Cave area, which are usually quiet geological heritage sites, briefly became the center of the Hollywood-style action world.
This choice of location highlights Indonesia’s potential as a premier destination for international film productions that require “otherworldly” natural landscapes.
Part 3: The Heart of Old Jakarta (Kota Tua & Beyond)
As the production moved to the capital, the vibe shifted from rugged nature to “Noir Jakarta.” The historic Kota Tua (Old Town) became the primary playground for Lisa and the Tygo crew.
Gedung Jasindo and Jalan Cengkeh
If you walked through Kota Tua in late January or early February 2026, you might have encountered roadblocks and heavy security. The production took over the Gedung Jasindo area and the surrounding streets like Jalan Kunir and Jalan Cengkeh.
In the film, these colonial-era buildings serve as the backdrop for a gritty urban chase. The contrast between the Dutch-style architecture and modern tactical gear created a unique visual language for the film. Jakarta’s Governor, Pramono Anung, even voiced his support, stating that Jakarta is a “global city” ready to host world-class talent like Lisa.

The Kemang Incident and Privacy
Filming wasn’t limited to historic sites. The crew was also spotted in Kemang, South Jakarta, a trendy neighborhood known for its nightlife and cafes. It was here that a minor controversy erupted when a local cafe accidentally leaked CCTV footage of Lisa ordering food.
While the “Lisa Effect” is real—with fans flocking to any place she visits—the incident served as a reminder of the importance of privacy for international stars. However, the outpouring of support from Indonesian BLINKs, who condemned the leak, showed the world that Indonesian fans are protective and respectful of their idol’s personal space.
Part 4: Embracing the Culture (Nasi Goreng and Sate)
One of the most heartwarming aspects of Lisa’s stay in Indonesia was her genuine appreciation for the local culture. In viral clips and social media updates, Lisa didn’t shy away from praising Indonesian cuisine.
“Nasi goreng and mie goreng are so delicious. I really love sate!” Lisa shared in a recent interview clip.
For many Indonesians, seeing a global superstar enjoy a simple plate of Sate Ayam or Nasi Goreng at a local spot (like the ones she visited in South Jakarta) felt like a bridge between two worlds. It wasn’t just about the work; it was about the experience.
She was also seen visiting the Vault Automotive Museum, showcasing her interest in car culture, which aligns perfectly with the high-speed nature of the Extraction films.
