Lalisa Manoban, or widely familiar as BLACKPINK’s Lisa (리사) is no stranger among K-pop fans. The Thai beauty has been gaining massive traction ever since she made her debut in the showbiz.

The Top 10 Most Beautiful Faces 2020 in Asia winner hails from Buri Ram, Thailand. Born on 27th March 1997, she is the youngest member (maknae) of the all-female ensemble. Many of us just can’t seem to get enough of Lisa? If you’re a fan too, let’s dive into her journey in K-pop so far:

In case you weren’t aware, Lisa’s birth name is actually Pranpriya Manoban. She eventually changed her name to Lalisa which means “one who is praised”, and now, she is simply known as Lisa. This talented starlet was only 14 when she tried her luck at an audition conducted by YG Entertainment.

Out of the 4,000 hopefuls who participated in the audition, only Lisa successfully passed the initial stage. After training for 5 years, Lisa, along with her BLACKPINK bandmates, made their official debut on 8th August 2016.

Many would vouched that Lisa’s smashing star power was already visible during her trainee days! As shared by her fellow member, Jennie, she would always excel in the group’s evaluation. This include various aspects like singing, dancing and even rapping.

That’s not all! Lisa also made history as the K-pop idol with the most followers on Instagram! Her official account, @lalisa_m, has accumulated 41.9 million followers and that number has only continue to increase over time.

Apart from that, this stunning bombshell is also known as a fashion icon. In this case, many fans have noted this group is not only talented, but they’re also famous for their breathtaking appearance. Thanks to their appealing features, the girls have managed to work with iconic brands like Chanel, Dior, Yves Saint Laurent and Celine.

Interestingly, Lisa was said to have been personally chosen by Celine as the fashion label’s muse! Most recently, she became the first ever K-pop star selected as the Mac Cosmetics global brand ambassador.

Armed with a complete package as a K-pop idol, the girl who aspired to be a singer as a child, is now the lead dancer and rapper for the sensational group, BLACKPINK. This shows that dreams do come true when you put in the hard work. 😉
