Lisa, whose real name is Lalisa Manoban, is 29 years old and was born in Thailand. She primarily worked in South Korea as a member of Blackpink. The singer is currently the CEO of LLOUD, a company she founded. Lisa reunited with Blackpink members for the global "Deadline" tour, which ran from July 2025 to January this year.
In recent years, Lisa has shifted her focus to the US and European markets. She has performed at major events such as the VMAs 2024, the Oscars 2025, and the Victoria's Secret fashion show. This year, she became the first female Kpop solo artist to perform at the World Cup opening ceremony.
*Always Lalisa* is a documentary directed by Sue Kim, chronicling Lisa's journey from her time with Blackpink to her individual career development. In the trailer, released on September 9, Lisa recalled her time with Jennie, Jisoo, and Rose, referring to her bandmates as soulmates. Behind-the-scenes footage captured the four members' close bond over years of activity, alongside the changes as each member pursued solo endeavors.
The artist also shared her experiences as a trainee at YG Entertainment. She recounted being asked to re-record a dance practice video after singing instead of rapping in a previous submission. During a monthly evaluation, Lisa chose to sing a Bruno Mars song. Her vocal coach praised her singing ability, but a YG advisor suggested she focus on rapping.
Fearing she would not be selected for the group, Lisa set aside her passion for singing to learn rap. These trainee experiences led the singer to doubt her vocal abilities for years, even after beginning her solo career. After developing her individual career, she regained confidence in her singing.

At a press conference announcing the project last year, director Sue Kim stated that upon meeting Lisa to discuss the script, the singer immediately invited her close friends from before her fame to participate. "It has been an honor to document Lisa's transformative journey over the past year," the filmmaker said. "I believe there will be many surprising moments for audiences, offering deep insight into her world."
