On February 26, KST, the girl group finally unveiled their special collaboration with the National Museum of Korea and Spotify, kicking off their full-album listening sessions for select fans.

On this day, fans noticed that the voice commentaries had been made available on Spotify in two versions — Korean and English. However, Lisa‘s commentary tracks were missing from this list. She is expected to narrate the descriptions of Korea’s historical treasures in English and Thai.

Neither YG Entertainment nor the National Museum of Korea has offered any explanation on this situation as of yet.
Meanwhile, the group’s new album seems to be facing major hiccups ahead of its release.
