BLACKPINK's Lisa has been recognized as the most influential figure in Thailand. 

On January 2nd, according to local media Nation, the results of a survey conducted by Suandusit University over an 8-day period from December 20th to 27th revealed that Lisa was chosen as the top influential personality.

Lisa, whose real name is Lalisa Manoban, is originally from Thailand. She debuted as a member of BLACKPINK in 2016, where she serves as a rapper and the main dancer. BLACKPINK has gained immense popularity not only in the domestic music scene but also in the global music market.

Lisa, in particular, has garnered overwhelming support in her home country, Thailand. When Lisa expressed her longing for street food "meatballs" from her hometown of Buriram in the past, the sales of street vendors surged, sparking discussions.

Moreover, when Lisa shared photos taken at the tourist destination Ayutthaya on her social media, the number of visitors to that area significantly increased.

Thais have also taken note of the fact that Lisa is not from the upper class 'High-so' but rather from a humble background 'Low-so.' Fans are enthusiastic about Lisa's journey, starting from passing the YG Entertainment Thailand audition, undergoing a 5-year and 3-month training period, and growing into a global star.

In response to this support, Lisa incorporated Thai traditional costumes and performed traditional Thai dance in the music video for her solo song "LALISA." The video also features scenes shot at the Phanom Rung Historical Park in her hometown of Buriram, showcasing statues and traditional Thai crafts, creating a buzz among fans.
