Big Bang’s G-Dragon surprises fans of his latest Instagram Story with the Elvis director Baz Luhrmann and BLACKPINK’s Lisa. As the Australian filmmaker recently hinted at his plan to do a cover of Elvis Presley’s “Can’t Help but Falling in Love,” are their outing hints at a possible collaboration?
Luhrmann is reportedly in South Korea to promote his new movie Elvis, whose lead star, Austin Butler, has a connection with BLACKPINK. His girlfriend, Kaia Gerber, is a CELINE model and the brand recently held a fashion show in Paris that Lisa attended.
While in the country, Luhrmann seemed to meet some of K-pop’s biggest stars, like G-Dragon and the “LALISA” hitmaker. So, what does it mean?
G-Dragon, Lisa Join Baz Luhrmann
In the G-Dragon’s Instagram story photo, he shared a snap of him, Lisa and Luhrmann lounging on a couch.
The Big Bang member put two Elvis stickers on the picture and an image of Mona Lisa on Lisa’s face.
Though the post had no context, Koreaboo noted that it seemed to hint at possible music collaboration between the three.
Lurhmann recently shared he had discovered a cover of Presley’s hit song, “Can’t Help Falling in Love,” and it inspired him to ask his friends and different artists to do the cover of the track to release at a later date.

He even revealed that it could be part of Elvis's musical score album.
To add more fuel to the fire, G-Dragon posted a cover art of the song twice on Instagram—once on his story and the other as an actual post.
G-Dragon also seems to hint at his return this year, often posting photos while working at his studio. Alternatively, BLACKPINK has been formally announced to make their much-awaited comeback this year.
So, are these enough hints that they will be working on new music together?

G-Dragon’s Solo Return
On the other hand, fans believe G-Dragon is working on his solo comeback, as hinted by his Instagram posts, AllKpop noted.
He recently shared photos on his Instagram Story taken at a studio. In one of the snaps, he was seen wearing headphones and recording/producing music at 4:33 a.m.
