According to Koreaboo, in a recent live broadcast on Tiktok, Mr. Nawat revealed that Lisa (Blackpink) was invited to perform at the Miss Universe 2025 finals, held later this year in Thailand.
The Miss Universe organizing committee has high expectations of inviting the famous female singer to host the event, but in reality, discussing with Lisa's management team abroad is very difficult.
According to Mr. Nawat, despite trying to negotiate, Lisa's representative rejected the offer due to not being able to arrange the schedule. The singer's group announced that they have closed their schedule for this year with many upcoming projects.
Mr. Nawat Itsaragrisil was appointed as the new CEO of the Miss Universe Organization on April 23. He was previously known as the founder of the Miss Grand International contest.
Mr. Nawat's Miss Grand International PCL company was officially authorized to organize the Miss Universe 2025 contest in Thailand in November this year. The final night of Miss Universe 2025 will take place at the IMPACT Muang Thong Thani commercial complex.
According to Nation Thailand, Mr. Nawat's company bought the copyright to organize the Miss Universe pageant for 5 years for 180 million baht (about more than 140 billion VND).
Meanwhile, Lisa - a member of the girl group Blackpink - is currently the most famous Thai Kpop female artist.
After 8 years of building a solid position as a member of Blackpink, since last year, Lisa and the other 3 members (Jisoo, Jennie, Rose) have separated to work solo, after not renewing their individual contracts with YG Entertainment (still maintaining their group contracts).
Lisa founded her own company LLOUD, signed a contract with the famous American record label RCA Records.
She released the singles "Rockstar", "New Woman" (featuring Rosalia), "Moonlit Floor (Kiss Me)", "Born again" (featuring Doja Cat, Raye), followed by her debut studio album "Alter ego" released at the end of February this year.
The Thai singer expands the influence when she has the opportunity to appear on many big stages such as the famous French charity concert event "Yellow Pieces Gala", Global Citizen 2024 Music Festival in the UK, MTV Video Music Awards 2024 in the US, VAVY's Secret 2024 Hematology Ceremony, Oscar 2025 Cinema and the latest Music Festival Coachella 2025.
Lisa is currently the Kpop idol with the largest number of followers on Instagram with 106 million followers.
After her solo album, this year, Lisa will return with Blackpink with a new album and a world tour.
