Lalisa Manoban, whose full name is Lalisa Manobal, is a Thai rapper, singer, dancer, and actress who is now one of the most famous people in the world of entertainment. Lisa was born on March 27, 1997, as Pranpriya Manobal. She went from being a teenager with dreams in Thailand to an international superstar who connects the entertainment industries in the East and West.
BLACKPINK and World Fame
Lisa is in the South Korean girl group BLACKPINK, which YG Entertainment put together in August 2016. She has helped make K-pop a major force in world music as part of this powerful quartet. Lisa is the main dancer and lead rapper for BLACKPINK, which has become one of the most successful girl groups in history.
The group’s popularity around the world has been amazing. They have broken many records and were the first K-pop girl group to play at big Western festivals like Coachella. Lisa’s unique rap style and magnetic stage presence have helped BLACKPINK become popular all over the world.
Breakthrough in Solo Career
Lisa’s solo debut really helped her art grow as a person. Lisa’s first single album, “Lalisa,” came out in September 2021. It made her the first female artist in South Korea to sell 736,000 copies of an album in its first week. This success showed how popular she is as a solo artist, apart from BLACKPINK’s success as a group.
After “Lalisa” did well, she kept working on her own projects. At the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards, Lisa made her first solo appearance. She sang her new songs “New Woman” and “Rockstar,” which showed how much she had grown as an artist. She is currently signed to LLOUD and RCA Records for her solo work, which shows that she is serious about building a successful solo career in addition to her work with her group.
Getting Into Acting
2025 is a big year for Lisa’s career because she will be doing more than just music. In 2025, she made her acting debut on the HBO show The White Lotus, showing that she wanted to do more than just music. Lisa’s decision to try her hand at acting shows her determination to become a multi-talented entertainer, following in the footsteps of many successful artists who switch between music and acting.
Business Sense and Brand Strength
Lisa has an impact that goes far beyond entertainment. She is now one of the richest young entertainers in the world, with a net worth of $40 million. Her business sense is clear from the strategic partnerships and endorsements that have helped her reach more people around the world.
Recently, Lisa was named a global ambassador for Louis Vuitton. This made her a fashion icon and showed how her influence goes beyond music to include high-end brands. She has a lot of followers on social media as well. On Instagram, she has 107 million followers, making her one of the most followed K-pop artists on the site.
The effect on culture and future projects
Lalisa Manoban is more than just a successful musician; she is a symbol of how Asian entertainment is becoming more popular around the world and how cultural barriers are being broken down in mainstream media. She is a Thai artist who became famous in South Korea and then in Western markets. She is now a symbol of Asia’s growing cultural power around the world.
Lisa keeps pushing herself to learn new things. A solo documentary film about Lisa is in the works, and it will probably give fans a better understanding of her journey and how she creates art. The Thailand-born triple threat has a lot of work planned for 2025, including music, acting, and business projects.
The Phenomenon Goes On
Lisa’s story is one of amazing change and impact on the world. She started out as a little girl in Thailand with big dreams of becoming one of the most important entertainers of her generation. Since then, she has always pushed the limits and changed what Asian artists can do in the global entertainment industry. She is more than just a performer; she is a cultural phenomenon whose influence will likely last for years to come because she is good at music, business, and building bridges between cultures.
Lisa is still at the front of the Korean Wave’s global growth as she grows as both a solo artist and a member of BLACKPINK. This shows that talent, hard work, and smart planning can really make a difference in the world.
