Today, Lalisa Manobal, is a global superstar with millions of fans watching her every move, plus record-breaking sales and countless industry accolades under her belt.
When she was 15, she left her home country for a foreign land thousands of miles away to pursue a dream after getting an offer .(the only one from Thailand amongst thousands of hopefuls) from YG Entertainment, the South Korean music label and management company. After years of training, LISA, as she is commonly known, made her debut in 2016 as the lead rapper and dancer of BLACKPINK; the quartet instantly topped charts with infectious earworms like "Boombayah" and "Whistle".
Since then, it has been a meteoric rise for what is now the world's biggest girl group with two full-length studio albums, a handful of EPs and singles albums, and a series of sold-out world tours. In 2021, LISA dropped her first solo project: A two-track singles album titled LALISA, with both singles racking up massive numbers on all platforms. The project even netted her three Guinness World Records, including "Most Viewed Music Video by a Solo Artist in 24 Hours" for the title track, while the B-side track, "Money", has notched over 600 million streams and 750 million views. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, she is the most followed K-pop artist on Instagram, with 86.3 million followers as of January 2023. Now on the verge of turning 26, LISA is not just a musical sensation, she is also a fashion force. In addition to CELINE-for which she fronts campaigns, walks shows, and sits front-row-the star is also an ambassador for Bulgari. In this exclusive interview, she tells us about where she comes from, who she is today, and what's next.
