Lisa

Lisa (ลิซ่า, Lalisa Manobal; born March 27, 1997, Buriram, Thailand) holds the title no one disputes: the most followed K-pop artist on Instagram, with over 104 million followers. As BLACKPINK's main dancer and lead rapper since 2016, she built a reputation on choreographic precision and stage presence that translates without subtitles. After the group's 2023 contract renewal, she launched LLOUD, her own management company, in February 2024, and signed with RCA Records. "ROCKSTAR" became her first number-one on the Billboard Global Excl. US chart and introduced her solo era to audiences well outside K-pop's standard perimeter. "New Woman" (2024, with Rosalía) and "Moonlit Floor (Kiss Me)" added momentum before debut album Alter Ego (2025) landed in the top ten in the US, Australia, France, and Germany. "Born Again" (2025, with Doja Cat and RAYE) is a feature that confirms her status as an artist collaborators seek rather than accommodate. Her 2025 acting debut as Mook in HBO's The White Lotus Season 3 proved the range extends well beyond the stage, landing her in conversation with Western entertainment on its own terms. Celine and Bulgari hold her global ambassador position for obvious reason: she turns every campaign into content audiences redistribute voluntarily.
