Lisa (BLACKPINK) Profile 2026: Bio, Age, Birthday, Career & Facts

Lisa is one of the most recognizable names to emerge from modern K-pop. As a member of BLACKPINK, she built a global career around rap, dance and performance. Since launching her independent company LLOUD in 2024, she has also expanded into solo music, acting, fashion design and large international entertainment projects.

Born Lalisa Manobal in Thailand, Lisa became a YG Entertainment trainee before debuting with BLACKPINK in 2016. Her solo career began with LALISA in 2021, followed by the 2025 studio album Alter Ego. In 2026, she has entered another busy chapter, including the FIFA World Cup opening ceremony, the single “SaWaDiKa,” her upcoming PRESS PLAY EP, the documentary Always Lalisa, and her first Las Vegas residency.

Who Is Lisa From BLACKPINK?

Lisa, whose full name is Lalisa Manobal, is a Thai rapper, singer, dancer and actress and one of the four members of BLACKPINK. YG Entertainment’s historical BLACKPINK material identifies Lisa as one of the group’s original four members and records the group’s debut on August 8, 2016.

Her importance to BLACKPINK goes beyond vocals or rap. Dance has been a major part of Lisa’s public identity since before her debut. YG introduced her in 2016 as a highly skilled dancer who had trained at the company for around five years and was fluent in Thai, English, Japanese and Korean.

The interesting part of Lisa’s career is how naturally her work has expanded outside the traditional K-pop idol model. Her solo releases now operate through LLOUD Co. and RCA Records, while her acting work, fashion collaborations and independent projects have created a broader entertainment career.

Lisa Age and Birthday

Lisa was born on March 27, 1997, in Thailand. YG Entertainment’s official BLACKPINK profile lists her birth date as March 27, 1997. As of September 2026, she is 29 years old.

Her original birth name was Pranpriya Manobal, and she later became known legally as Lalisa Manobal. A 2026 Vanity Fair interview reported by People revisited the story of her name change, explaining that she changed it at age 13 after a fortune teller suggested Lalisa, a name associated with being praised.

Lisa Early Life in Thailand

Lisa was born and raised in Thailand and developed an interest in performing while she was still young. Her background was strongly connected to dance, and she participated in dance activities and competitions before moving toward a professional entertainment career.

Her former school, Praphamontree II, publicly celebrated her after the release of LALISA and identified her as an alumna who had been active in singing, dancing and school activities. Thai media also reported that she completed secondary-level education within the Praphamontree school system.

That early performance experience mattered later. When YG Entertainment introduced Lisa to the public in 2016, the company specifically highlighted her dance background and multilingual abilities.

Lisa’s YG Entertainment Audition and Trainee Years

Lisa’s path to BLACKPINK began in Thailand. She auditioned for YG Entertainment in 2010 and subsequently became a trainee in South Korea. YG’s pre-debut material described her as having trained for roughly five years before BLACKPINK debuted.

The transition was significant because Lisa moved away from Thailand at a young age and entered a demanding Korean trainee system. In an interview about her trainee years, she recalled the experience of arriving in a new environment and being introduced to the dance-room culture at YG.

Lisa was eventually introduced as one of BLACKPINK’s four members alongside Jisoo, Jennie and Rosé. The group officially debuted on August 8, 2016, with SQUARE ONE, featuring “BOOMBAYAH” and “WHISTLE.”

Lisa’s BLACKPINK Career

BLACKPINK became one of the defining K-pop groups of the global streaming era. Lisa’s role within the group has been particularly associated with dance, rap and stage performance.

The group has released major projects including SQUARE UP, KILL THIS LOVE, THE ALBUM and BORN PINK. Most recently, BLACKPINK released its third mini album, DEADLINE, on February 27, 2026, marking the group’s first full-group album in approximately four years.

Lisa therefore occupies an unusual position: she is simultaneously a BLACKPINK member and the founder of her own entertainment company.

Lisa and LLOUD

In February 2024, Lisa announced LLOUD Co., her own artist management company. She described the company as a platform for expressing her vision in music and entertainment and for pushing beyond conventional boundaries.

LLOUD later partnered with RCA Records for Lisa’s solo music. Her first single under that partnership was “Rockstar,” released in June 2024.

This arrangement is separate from BLACKPINK’s group activities. YG Entertainment announced in December 2023 that it had renewed its agreement for BLACKPINK’s group activities while the members would not sign separate individual activity contracts with YG.

That distinction is important when discussing Lisa’s career: BLACKPINK group activities remain tied to YG, while Lisa’s independent solo activities are handled through her own business structure and partners.

Lisa’s Solo Career

Lisa’s first solo single album, LALISA, arrived in 2021. The project included the title track “LALISA” and “MONEY,” establishing her as a solo performer rather than simply a BLACKPINK member working separately. Vogue’s 2021 interview showed that Lisa was closely involved in the identity of the project and emphasized the importance of maintaining physical strength for her solo performances.

The next major stage arrived in 2024 with “Rockstar,” followed by “New Woman” featuring Rosalía and “Moonlit Floor.” “Rockstar” debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart and No. 4 on the Billboard Global 200, while reaching No. 70 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Lisa then released her first full-length solo album, Alter Ego, on February 28, 2025. The 15-track album was released through LLOUD Co./RCA Records and featured collaborations with artists including Rosalía, Doja Cat, RAYE, Tyla, Megan Thee Stallion and Future.

The album debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard 200 and No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart, giving Lisa her first solo Billboard 200 entry.

Lisa’s 2026 Music Era: PRESS PLAY

Lisa’s solo story continued in 2026.

On September 4, she released “SaWaDiKa,” a Thai-rooted single that serves as the lead song from her upcoming EP PRESS PLAY. The official Sony Music announcement says the song returns to Lisa’s Thai roots and uses the Thai greeting “SaWaDiKa” as part of its identity.

PRESS PLAY is scheduled for release on October 23, 2026. The official Lisa store identifies the project as a six-track EP and describes it as a personal continuation of the story begun with Alter Ego.

This release gives Lisa an opportunity to reconnect her international career with her Thai identity rather than treating her background as simply part of her biography.

Lisa at the 2026 FIFA World Cup

One of Lisa’s biggest 2026 international appearances came at the FIFA World Cup.

She performed “Goals” with Anitta and Rema as part of the 2026 FIFA World Cup opening ceremony in Los Angeles. FIFA announced the performance as part of the tournament’s opening celebration, placing Lisa alongside a globally diverse lineup of performers.

Sony Music later described Lisa’s appearance as making her the first female K-pop artist and first Thai artist to perform in that World Cup opening-ceremony role.

Lisa’s Acting Career: The White Lotus

Music is no longer Lisa’s only major creative field.

Lisa made her acting debut as Mook in the third season of HBO’s The White Lotus. HBO’s official press material confirms her inclusion in the Season 3 cast, which premiered in February 2025.

The role was meaningful because Season 3 was set at a luxury resort in Thailand, allowing Lisa to work on a major international television production while also appearing in a project strongly connected to her home country.

Lisa’s TYGO Film

Lisa has also moved into feature-film acting.

Netflix announced TYGO, a Korean action thriller set within the Extraction universe, starring Don Lee, Lee Jin-uk and Lisa. Netflix describes it as Lisa’s first major film role following The White Lotus.

The film is being directed by Lee Sang-yong and is being produced through Big Punch Pictures and AGBO, with Netflix distributing it.

As of September 2026, TYGO remains an upcoming project rather than a released movie, so it is more accurate to describe it as Lisa’s upcoming feature-film role.

Lisa’s Upcoming Netflix Romantic Comedy

Netflix also confirmed another acting project for Lisa in 2026: a new romantic-comedy feature inspired by Notting Hill. Yonhap reported that the film’s title and release timing had not yet been finalized when Netflix announced it.

Because production and release details can change, KpopBio should update this section when Netflix publishes additional official information.

Lisa’s Always Lalisa Documentary

Lisa’s solo journey is also the subject of the documentary Always Lalisa.

Sony Music Vision announced that the film would premiere at the 2026 Toronto International Film Festival. The documentary follows a pivotal year in Lisa’s life as she develops her solo career, pursues acting and builds her own brand outside BLACKPINK.

The theatrical release is scheduled to begin worldwide on October 12, 2026, before a later YouTube Premium release.

For a profile article, this documentary is particularly valuable because it documents the exact transition from BLACKPINK-centered fame to Lisa’s independent career.

Lisa’s Workout Routine

Lisa has spoken publicly about exercise, but there is no reliable evidence for an official, permanent “Lisa workout plan” that fans should copy day by day.

One of the clearest sources is Lisa’s 2021 Vogue interview, in which she explained that she worked out every day and practiced Pilates regularly while preparing for her first solo release. She connected the routine to maintaining energy and strength for solo performances.

That gives us a useful picture without turning it into an invented fitness schedule:

Activity	What Lisa has publicly confirmed
General exercise	She said she worked out every day during her 2021 solo preparation
Pilates	She practiced Pilates steadily
Main purpose	Strength, stamina and stage performance
Exact current schedule	Not publicly confirmed

The important editorial distinction is that Lisa’s documented routine should not be presented as her current 2026 daily workout unless she confirms it herself.

Does Lisa Follow a Diet Plan?

There is no verified public source showing that Lisa follows a strict named diet plan.

What is publicly known is much simpler. In a Harper’s Bazaar interview, Lisa discussed enjoying meals with people she loves, admitted she was not a particularly good cook, and identified truffle fries as her favorite food.

That is much more useful than repeating online “K-pop diet” claims. Fans may see detailed diet schedules attributed to Lisa online, but those should not be presented as official unless they come from Lisa or a reliable interview.

Lisa’s Skincare Routine

Lisa has given some surprisingly practical beauty details.

In Vogue’s “In the Bag” feature, she said that on the day filmed for the video she used face wash, essence, eye cream, moisturizer, lip balm and a hydrating mist. She also explained that she has dry skin and uses a mist during frequent flights.

For a major event, she has also mentioned another simple habit. Before the 2025 Met Gala, Lisa told Vogue that she uses a Korean face mask the night before a major event.

Lisa has also said she prefers a minimal makeup look at times, describing a “makeup-no makeup” approach with blush and lips in Vogue’s 2025 feature.

So the verified picture is not an elaborate secret formula. It is a relatively simple routine centered on hydration, basic skincare and light makeup.

Lisa’s Daily Routine

There is no publicly verified complete 24-hour daily schedule for Lisa in 2026.

Her professional schedule is highly variable because of music releases, BLACKPINK activities, recording, filming, fashion events, travel and live performances. Rather than inventing a morning-to-night timetable, it is more accurate to describe the recurring parts that she has actually discussed.

Her public interviews show that she travels frequently, protects her voice while flying, works out for performance strength, spends time with her pets and maintains close connections with family, friends and BLACKPINK members.

Lisa’s Airport Fashion and Personal Style

Airport fashion has become part of Lisa’s public image because her work requires constant international travel.

Lisa’s own description of comfortable clothing is revealing: in a Vogue interview, she said she likes cropped tops and sweatpants for dance practice and also enjoys vintage styling, necklaces and accessories.

Her professional wardrobe is much more expansive. Vogue’s 2025 reporting on BLACKPINK’s tour wardrobe showed that Lisa’s stylists used custom and luxury pieces from different designers, with Lisa participating in the creative process behind the looks.

Her fashion career has also moved beyond simply wearing clothes. In 2026, Lisa became guest designer for Kith Women’s Spring 2026 collection, contributing to a collection built around two concepts: “Hopeless Romantic” and “After Dark.”

Lisa’s Luxury Brands

Lisa’s relationship with luxury fashion is one of the most documented parts of her public career.

She has worked with Bulgari as a global brand ambassador, and Bulgari’s own 2024 material featured her in that role. She also appeared at the 2025 Oscars wearing Bulgari Serpenti Viper jewelry.

Louis Vuitton is another major part of her fashion profile. Caesars Entertainment’s 2026 announcement about Lisa’s Las Vegas residency describes Louis Vuitton as one of her continuing major fashion relationships and notes that the house announced her as a new House Ambassador in 2024.

Her 2026 Kith collaboration takes the relationship one step further because Lisa participated in designing a collection rather than simply modeling or appearing in a campaign.

Is Kith a “Favorite Brand”?

It would be inaccurate to state that Kith is Lisa’s favorite brand unless she personally says so. The verified description is that she has had a campaign relationship with Kith and later became a guest designer.

Lisa and Luxury Watches

Lisa’s association with Bulgari also connects her to high-end watches and jewelry.

However, fans should distinguish between brand ambassador appearances and a verified private watch collection. Public photographs can show Lisa wearing Bulgari pieces, but that does not automatically prove that she personally owns every watch she wears.

Bulgari’s current women’s watch catalogue includes major collections such as Serpenti and Bvlgari Bvlgari, but KpopBio should not turn brand-event appearances into an unsupported “Lisa watch collection” list.

Lisa’s Car Collection

Lisa’s private car collection is not reliably documented by official sources.

Various websites and social-media posts associate particular luxury vehicles with her, but photographs or sightings do not establish ownership. Therefore, this profile does not list specific cars as part of a confirmed Lisa car collection.

That distinction is important because celebrity ownership claims are frequently repeated online without reliable documentation.

Lisa’s House and Property

There is similarly no reliable public record that should be used to publish a detailed list of Lisa’s private homes, property values or exact addresses.

KpopBio should avoid converting paparazzi photographs, real-estate speculation or fan posts into claims about her private residence. Lisa’s professional connection to Seoul, Bangkok, Los Angeles and other international cities is well documented; her precise private property details are not.

Lisa’s Tattoos: What Is Actually Confirmed?

Lisa’s tattoos have received significant attention, but this is an area where wording matters.

In 2025, Teen Vogue reported on a “Dream” tattoo on the back of Lisa’s neck, after tattoo artist Gunhyo Park shared an image and identified the work. The publication also reported that the same artist had previously worked on a “LLOUD” tattoo on her ankle.

Teen Vogue also noted that Lisa herself had not publicly explained the exact meaning of the neck tattoo at the time.

So the safest wording is “publicly documented tattoo”, rather than claiming a complete official tattoo list or assigning meanings that Lisa has not personally confirmed.

Lisa’s Phone and Gadgets

Lisa has actually provided useful information about the technology she carries.

In Vogue’s 2025 “What’s in My Bag?” feature, she showed Bose Open Earbuds among her everyday items. She also showed a phone with a cat-themed case.

The article should not identify a specific phone model unless Lisa or another primary source clearly confirms it. The useful takeaway is that Lisa has publicly shown the phone and earbuds she carries, rather than that she owns a particular device based on fan speculation.

Lisa’s Pets

Lisa has spoken openly about her love of animals.

In the 2025 Vogue feature, she said she has five cats: Leo, Luca, Lily, Louis and Lego. She also discussed wanting a future cat named Lemon.

In an earlier Harper’s Bazaar interview, she also spoke about her dog Love and described spending time with her pets as an important part of her life.

Because pet situations can change, KpopBio should avoid claiming that this is necessarily her complete current pet household unless Lisa provides an updated confirmation.

Lisa’s Hobbies and Interests

Dance is the clearest long-term interest documented in Lisa’s history. She was involved in dance before entering YG and later built a career where dance became one of her defining strengths.

She has also shown a strong interest in fashion, accessories, photography and animals. Her Vogue appearances reveal a playful attachment to cat-themed objects, while her fashion work has developed from wearing luxury labels into creative involvement with Kith.

Lisa’s Charity Work

Lisa has participated in charitable activity, but KpopBio should avoid publishing an inflated list of donations without documentation.

One clearly reported example came in 2025, when Lisa held “Welcome to Lisa’s Closet,” a flea-market event where proceeds from the sale of her personal belongings were donated to Good Neighbors. Korea JoongAng Daily reported that the money was intended to support people in Niger through access to clean water and solar-power infrastructure.

This is a strong example because the event and beneficiary were reported by a reputable Korean news organization and connected to Sony Music Korea’s announcement.

Lisa Plastic Surgery Fact Check

There is no reliable public evidence that allows KpopBio to confirm a specific cosmetic-surgery procedure performed by Lisa.

Online before-and-after photographs, facial comparisons, social-media comments and anonymous posts are not enough to establish medical or cosmetic procedures. Changes in styling, makeup, lighting, photography, facial expression and normal aging can alter appearance significantly.

For that reason, this profile does not label Lisa as having had plastic surgery without a credible primary-source confirmation.

Lisa’s Major Awards and Records

Lisa has created a substantial solo award history.

At the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards, she won Best K-pop for “LALISA,” becoming the first solo K-pop winner in that category. Guinness World Records recognizes this achievement.

Later that year, she won Best K-pop at the 2022 MTV Europe Music Awards, becoming the first solo K-pop winner at the EMAs.

In 2024, she won another MTV VMA Best K-pop award for “Rockstar.” MTV’s official results confirm the win, while Sony Music notes that it made her the first solo act to win the VMA category multiple times.

At the 2024 MTV EMAs, “New Woman” featuring Rosalía won Best Collaboration, while Lisa also won Biggest Fans.

As of September 2026, Lisa is also a nominee for Best K-pop at the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards for “Dream” featuring Kentaro Sakaguchi. The winners had not yet been decided as of September 10, 2026.

Why Lisa’s Career Is Different

Lisa’s career is notable because her international expansion has happened across several industries at once.

Her BLACKPINK career established her as a K-pop performer. Her solo music gave her greater control over her artistic identity. LLOUD gave her an independent business platform. Her work with Louis Vuitton, Bulgari and Kith expanded her role in fashion. The White Lotus introduced her to television acting, while TYGO and the upcoming Netflix romantic comedy move her further into film.

Her 2026 schedule reinforces that multi-industry identity. She performed at the FIFA World Cup opening celebration, released “SaWaDiKa,” has PRESS PLAY scheduled for October, and has Always Lalisa heading to cinemas.

Lisa’s Las Vegas Residency

Lisa is scheduled to make history with VIVA LA LISA, her first Las Vegas residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace.

The four announced dates are November 13, November 14, November 27 and November 28, 2026. Caesars Entertainment announced that Lisa is the first K-pop artist to hold a Las Vegas residency, and the company later reported that the four shows sold out in under 10 minutes.

As of September 2026, these dates are upcoming rather than completed, so this profile should use future tense until the performances take place.

Lisa in 2026: A Career at a New Stage

The most useful way to understand Lisa in 2026 is not simply as a BLACKPINK member with a solo career.

She is now operating as an independent artist with her own company, a growing acting portfolio, major luxury-fashion relationships and increasingly large global performances. The coming months are especially important because PRESS PLAY, Always Lalisa and VIVA LA LISA all represent different sides of the career she has built outside the traditional idol framework.

At the same time, she remains part of BLACKPINK. The group’s 2026 DEADLINE era shows that her independent career has not replaced the group; instead, the two tracks now exist alongside each other
