From foreign idols being discriminated against to "international little sisters"

After becoming a trainee of YG Entertainment, Lisa spent 5 years practicing hard. In 2015, she was accepted as a model for fashion brand Nona9on, then cosmetics brand Moonshot.

In August 2016, Lisa officially debuted in the group BLACKPINK with 4 members including Lisa, Rosé, Kim Jisoo and Jennie. With the debut single album, Square One, has achieved more success than expected. The group's debut songs are all shocking and each member's name has been shining since then.

As a foreign member, Lisa BLACKPINK is always at a disadvantage compared to other members. Especially Korean netizens are very strict with foreign idols. Therefore, in order to "earn rice" in the land of Kimchi, Lisa had to endure a lot of hardship and criticism.

Debut as a part of YG's popular girl group, but the Thai member doesn't seem to receive proper attention from the management company. She seems to be more disadvantaged than the other 3 girls, from performance costumes, personal activities to advertising... There have been times when Lisa fans around the world and especially in the countryside. The family felt extremely dissatisfied, they wrote together loving words of encouragement for Lisa, pushing the hashtag "Respect Lisa" to become a trend in Thailand but also in Korea and many other countries.

The biggest scandal of my career when advertising alcohol

In addition to talent, it is her clean private life that helps Lisa attract many fans around the world. However, in March 2022, she was suddenly caught in the biggest scandal of her career.

Specifically at that time, Thai and Korean media simultaneously reported that Lisa was allegedly involved in the investigation of Thai authorities into the act of spreading alcohol advertising images online.

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention of the Ministry of Health of Thailand has directed the Alcohol Control Commission (OACC) to investigate those who spread Lisa's alcohol advertising images and videos on social networks.

Lisa has become the face of a global alcohol brand, causing fans to constantly share images of the female idol. However, Thai law prohibits all forms of alcohol advertising, so it is illegal to share photos of Lisa holding a wine bottle by many fans.

According to Thai media, the OACC has looked into whether Lisa's alcohol advertisement violates relevant regulations. Thai law prohibits alcohol advertising as well as soliciting others to drink. Violators of these two regulations can be fined 500,000 baht (VND 343 million), receive a prison sentence of 1 year or both.

According to Thai authorities, this regulation applies to celebrities and public figures, not ordinary people. This has made fans worry that Lisa will be sanctioned, she is a celebrity and has Thai nationality.

However, Lisa was exonerated because, according to Kachonsak Kaewcharat - Deputy Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Lisa's ads did not violate the regulations of other countries, because not all countries are the same. Ban alcohol advertising like Thailand.

As such, this advertisement is completely legal in Korea, Japan and some other countries. As long as the ad is not released in Thailand, Lisa will not be penalized. Some fans also gave evidence to defend Lisa. Specifically, they said that the goddess signed this agreement outside of Thailand, did not promote in her home country as well as on social media accounts, so she did not violate the law of the Golden Temple country.

A series of love rumors with the famous male cast from China to Korea

Since her debut, Lisa has been entangled in many noisy dating rumors. Perhaps also because of its popularity, every rumor related to the main dancer of the BLACKPINK group has attracted great attention from the online community.

First of all, Lisa's "young maiden" friend - male idol Bam Bam ( GOT7). The two have been close friends since childhood when they joined a dance group in Thailand. Later, both of them went to Korea to develop their careers and help each other in foreign lands.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the two are "young and old" friends and often refer to each other with nice words. 2 cult stars often hang out, cheer for each other and even wear double necklaces.

The two often talk about the latter as good friends, but if they do date, they will definitely be fully supported by the fans.

Another turbulent "love story" of Kbiz is probably Jungkook (BTS) and Lisa. Despite the fact that the fans of the two groups don't like each other, and often argue fiercely on social networks, there is a part of fans who still enthusiastically "push the boat" Kook-Lisa.

Rumors have been swirling since the moment Jungkook sneaked a glance at Lisa at the 2018 SBS Gayo Daejun final concert. After glancing at Lisa, Jungkook even smiled shyly.

Needless to say, this moment was hot at the time. Even after the two stars no longer interact with each other, they still can't make people stop hoping that the two were dating.

In addition to Korean stars, Lisa is also rumored to be dating a Chinese handsome man Tu Khon. Lisa and Thai Tu Khon used to be mentors for the TV show Thanh Xuan Have You 2 in China. If she is the top female idol in Kpop, he is no less than the most famous male idol in China.

Even during the press conference, the two also had many lovely interactions that made netizens flutter. Many sources said that both Lisa and Thai Tu Khon wanted to rely on love rumors to improve their reputation and create topics online. Therefore, until now, whether the couple is really dating or not is still a mystery.
