LISA – “DREAM” w/ Kentaro Sakaguchi | Deep Dive, Language Breakdown & ONE Mystery (K-Pop Solo Reaction)
If you’ve been watching my Blackpink reaction series—from Rosé to Jennie, Jisoo’s “Your Love” collab with Singapore Tourism Board—then you’re in for an emotional dive. Today, I’m reacting to Lisa’s new short film “DREAM” featuring Kentaro Sakaguchi, and there’s so much layered meaning to uncover.
Here’s what I break down in this video:
I translate and explain the Korean and Japanese dialogue—perfectly clearing up nuances you won’t find in textbooks. I talk about my experiences with Spanglish, Caribbean-influenced Spanish, Indonesian, and even Chinese from my own family. Language is meant to be felt, not just memorized.
I mention how slow, vulnerable songs from artists like Lisa hit different—the boat scenes reminded me of The Notebook, my top-tier romance film.
The short film depicts a grieving widow releasing her husband’s ashes into a lake, with Lisa singing lines like: “Whenever I close my eyes… like it’s 2019, baby.” This lyric is thought to reference 2019, the last time Lisa’s rumored ex, rapper One (Jung Jae-won)—also known as 1Punch and a former YG artist—was seen publicly. He abruptly disappeared after leaving YG and hasn’t been heard from since, making the reference feel intensely real.
Fans have pointed out parallels between Lisa’s lyrics and his 2019 track “Last Cigarette”, suggesting this song might be Lisa’s goodbye—he’s the “someone” she can’t get through to, and his disappearance in 2019 haunts the lyrics of “Dream.” The short film even includes subtle visual callbacks, like Kentaro’s blonde hair—echoing One’s look from back then.
The funeral aspects of the video reminded me of Katy Perry’s “Thinking of You” music video, adding another layer of emotional resonance.
Lastly, I dig into the emotional weight of all this. Mandatory military service in South Korea might have made him vanish; Lisa’s short film could be her way of quietly honoring or closing that chapter. I got teary eyed—this hit deep.
This reaction is part of my K-pop artist series—focusing on how music, film, language, and unspoken stories intersect in Lisa’s art. If you’re a fan of global pop, language immersion, and emotional artistry—you’re going to feel this.

Jiwon stated in a media interview before 2019, that he wanted to be water when he died.
I think this vid is Lisa finally letting go. Lisa probably mad that he wouldn't communicate, so he is dead to her now.
Ultimately this could be an mv to him, saying goodbye, its over.
