Lisa

Lalisa Manobal, known professionally as Lisa, is a Thai rapper, singer, dancer, and the main dancer and lead rapper of BLACKPINK. Born on March 27, 1997, in Buriram Province, Thailand, she is the only non-Korean member of the group and has become one of the most followed K-pop idols worldwide.

Lisa began dancing at a young age, training in various styles before auditioning for YG Entertainment in 2010 at age 13, becoming the first Thai artist to pass the company's auditions. After six years of training in Seoul — during which she learned Korean from scratch — she debuted with BLACKPINK in August 2016.

Known for her razor-sharp dance technique, commanding rap delivery, and magnetic stage presence, Lisa has been widely recognized as one of the best performers in K-pop. Her dance practice videos routinely accumulate hundreds of millions of views, and her choreography has influenced dance trends globally.

In September 2021, Lisa released her solo debut single album LALISA, with the title track breaking the record for the most-viewed music video by a solo artist in 24 hours on YouTube. In 2023, she founded her own management company LLOUD, and in 2025 released her debut full album ALTER EGO, featuring collaborations with Doja Cat, Rosalía, Future, Megan Thee Stallion, and Tyla.
