LISA

LISA, born Pranpriya Lalisa Manobal in Buriram, Thailand, is a singer, rapper, and dancer best known as a member of the South Korean girl group BLACKPINK, formed by YG Entertainment. She moved to South Korea as a teenager to train as an idol, becoming the company's first international trainee, and debuted with BLACKPINK in 2016. Within the group she is primarily recognized as lead dancer and rapper, and BLACKPINK's global success helped establish K-pop as a mainstream force in Western markets.

In 2021 LISA launched a solo career with the single LALISA, followed by MONEY, both showcasing a sound built on hard-hitting trap and hip-hop production paired with sharp, athletic choreography. She has continued to release solo material blending pop, rap, and electronic elements, often drawing on her Thai heritage and dance background, and has collaborated with a range of international pop and hip-hop artists.

LISA's rise reflects the broader globalization of K-pop, and she has become one of the most visible Southeast Asian stars in the genre, known for a distinct visual and rhythmic style that merges Thai identity with K-pop idol conventions and Western trap aesthetics.
