There is Lisa, the confident pop star who speaks with ease about performing, acting, and making music. And there is Lalisa, her more private self: sweet, a little bashful, yet assured in what matters most to her—her health, her family, her privacy, and maintaining a boundary between her public image and her personal life.
And yet, the star insists those two versions of herself are not so different.
“Lisa or Lalisa, it’s still me.”

Lisa became the first nonethnic Korean trainee at YG Entertainment—for all intents and purposes, pop star boot camp—when she moved from Thailand to South Korea at 14 years old:
“I had to start from zero, but I felt like I really wanted to do this.”

As Lisa delves into acting, she’s learning to find parts of herself in each character.
And onstage? “I’m not trying to pretend that I’m someone else. It’s just me, plus a little more confidence."

To much of the world, Lisa is one of the biggest stars on the planet.
But in person, her mega fame can be surprisingly easy to forget—until moments like the one ‘The White Lotus’ producer David Bernad recalls from a night out in Los Angeles.
“At some point I turned around and every single person in that club was staring at us,” he tells Vanity Fair. “Five hundred people just staring at Lisa. It was this moment in which we were like, ‘Oh yeah, she is one of the most famous musicians in the world.’”
