Lisa shares her love of Singapore food

LISA FAN MEETUP IN ASIA 2024 SINGAPORE Singapore Indoor Stadium Nov 11 The first member of K-pop girl group Blackpink to hold a solo fan meet in Singapore, Lisa sparkled with her electric performances and charming personality at the sold-out event.

The Thai rapper-singer had performed here as part of the super-star quartet during two concerts at the National Stadium in 2023.

Dressed in a bejewelled black outfit which showed her taut midriff, she opened with her debut single Lalisa (2021), flanked by 12 backup dancers and accompanied by bursts of pyrotechnics.

It was a stunning curtain-raiser befitting of a star who has captured the public imagination. She clinched a Guinness World Record in 2023 for being the most followed K-pop star on Instagram, and recently opened the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in New York in October.

During the 105-minute fan meet, she performed five numbers, including the empowering pop-electronica track New Woman and her latest single Moonlit Floor (Kiss Me).
