Lisa, 29, born in Thailand, is active in South Korea with the group Blackpink. She is the Asian artist with the most followers and most-liked posts on Instagram. The singer is currently the CEO of LLOUD, a company she founded, operating in fashion, film, and music.

Notting Hill was directed by Roger Michell and written by Richard Curtis. Its plot revolves around the romance between Hollywood star Anna Scott (Julia Roberts) and London bookstore owner William Thacker (Hugh Grant). Starting as strangers, they gradually fall for each other, but face numerous conflicts due to media scrutiny and differing lifestyles. The film illustrates that love can blossom anywhere, even between individuals with contrasting personalities. Its memorable dialogue contributes to a lighthearted yet touching atmosphere, captivating audiences until the very end.
