Born in Bangkok, Thailand as Pranpriya Manobal on March 27, 1997, Lalisa Manobal (ลลิษา มโนบาล) is a member of South Korean girl group BLACKPINK, which was formed by YG Entertainment in 2016.

She grew up in the Buriram Province and was raised by her mother and stepfather. During her childhood, she was a member of a Thai dance group titled We Zaa Cool along with BamBam of GOT7 and Ten of NCT 127.

In 2010, she auditioned for YG Entertainment in Thailand because she wanted to become an idol in South Korea. She later visited a fortune-teller with her mom and they told her to change her name to Lalisa, which means “one who is praised.” A week later, Lisa got the call and became a YG trainee in April 2011, making her the first international trainee of the company.

She was revealed to the public a year later through a dance cover of Chris Brown’s “Turn Up The Music.” The video was uploaded to YG’s YouTube channel with the title Who’s That Girl?, which was the catchphrase used for all the teasers of YG’s new girl group members. Its debut was delayed several years until June 8, 2016, when Lisa was confirmed as the second member of BLACKPINK.

On September 10, 2021, Lisa made her solo debut with the release of her self-titled single album, LALISA. The title track “LALISA” broke two Guinness world records with its music video, which got 73,6 million views the day of release. The first record was for the most-viewed YouTube music video in 24 hours and the second record was for the most-viewed YouTube music video in 24 hours by a solo K-pop artist. Besides that, both tracks in the single album made it to the Billboard Hot 100, Billboard Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts.

A month after LALISA, she continued with her solo career and collaborated with French producer DJ Snake on “SG” with American-rapper Megan Thee Stallion and Puerto-Rican singer Ozuna.
