During an appearance on a radio show in the US, Lisa (Blackpink) was asked about the country she considers her homeland. Thai media outlet Diva Phoenix reported the singer's answer and attracted great discussion.
The host asked Lisa: As a solo artist, you are active globally and travel around the world. Which place makes you feel like your home the most, Thailand or Korea?". The female singer did not hesitate to answer: "It's definitely Korea".
Thai netizens had a multi-dimensional reaction to Lisa's answer. However, many people expressed their understanding of the singer's choice.
Lisa is a foreign member of Blackpink, from Thailand. It is reported that after many years of working and living in Korea, the female singer now has the right to permanent residence in this country as a legal permanent resident.
She couldnt have become a world-class artist without coming to Korea; She grew up and spent most of her life in Korea, so thats understandable; If she had chosen Thailand, it would have been considered a sign-off for YG and Korea; She answered very well. Thais don't need to be too emotional. I still support her because she is Thai - some comments from Thai audiences.
In 2010, Lisa passed the audition round of YG Entertainment. A year later, when she was only 14 years old, she moved to Korea, becoming an official trainee of YG.
After 5 years of training, Lisa debuted as a member of Kpop girl group Blackpink in 2016, along with Jisoo, Jennie and Rose. She took on the role of rapper and main dancer in the group.
Blackpink has continuously reaped success over the past 9 years, now in the position of a world-famous girl group. Lisa herself has also built a brilliant personal career, as one of the most successful solo idols in Kpop.
Lisa has been highly appreciated since she was a trainee. Although having to go to another country and go through many difficulties and language disagreements during her internship, the female idol always shows her tireless efforts and affirms her talent.
Jennie once revealed that Lisa is the one who always scores A for all skills in the monthly internship test.
A former YG creative director also praised Lisa, saying that for the Thai female idol, the monthly test was never a competition, but her own personal stage, making everyone enjoy and admire her.
Recently, a teacher who taught Lisa Korean praised the singer's diligence and intelligence.
"Lisa studies 4 classes of Korean/week. She went from elementary to intermediate school in just 6 months. This is great, because for Thai people, learning Korean is more difficult because there are few similarities in words, grammar and structure.
At that time, Lisa must have been working very hard because of 4 textbooks, 4 notebooks, dictionaries and homework...", Lisa's teacher shared.
