Global sensation from BLACKPINK, Lisa is famous for being so talented, stylish, and charming. But behind the public persona, there are some less known aspects of her life which fans might not of heard of. These are facts that might change how you look at the beloved rapper and dancer.
1. Traumatic Childhood Experience of her
Lisa, a Thai national, has lead a hard life. She was the only child in her family and was under pressure right from the get go to succeed. Lisa’s journey was definitely harder because her mother had high expectations. It was a juggling act: on the one side her love of dancing; and, on the other side academic demands.
2. A Secret Struggle with Mental Health
Lisa had been bubbling with buoyancy and bitting resilience on stage, but off screen she’s struggled with mental health issues. The pressures of being in a globally successful girl group can sometimes leave her feeling overwhelmed; she's spoken about this. She has struggled with anxiety and depression her whole life, but kept quiet so she wouldn't let her fans down.
Lisa is famous for her slim body and fantastic skills at dancing. But she has had problems with body image — particularly during her training days. Lisa was underage when she joined YG Entertainment, and was compared with other trainees, skeptical about her self value. Although many of the pressures involved in K-pop would be enough to break many artists, she has been able to work herself up and learn to love her body type.
4. Her Strict Training Regimen
Lisa’s performance on the stage has always been an admiration from fans, but not quite the grueling training suffered to join BLACKPINK. Lisa spent almost five years training before her debut — physically and emotionally it was brutal. It could take over four hours of rehearsals and she would feel like quitting.
5. Conflicts with BLACKPINK Members
Like most girl bands, the members of BLACKPINK are close friends despite their tension. Lisa has long been at the heart of arguments, most on the topics of choreography and performance style. The underlying conflicts lead to an intense passion for dance and perfection that sometimes clashing with the other members.
Fans have often wondered what it might be like to date Lisa, but she is a very private woman. Rumors have been going around that she is dating different K-pop idols and celebs, but have yet to confirm any of these rumors. Lisa is known as a fierce guard for her personal life and it’s reported she does not let unnecessary attention into her relationships.
7. Racial Discrimination Issues
Racism is something BLACKPINK's Lisa — as a non-Korean — has also dealt with in the business of K-pop. K-pop fans have also criticized her for not being 'fully accepted' as a ‘true K-pop idol' because she's Thai. These experiences have worked in subtle ways on Lisa and sometimes she has felt isolated from the others.
8. Lisa’s Love for Luxury Brands
Fans know Lisa as a humble, grounded person but she loves luxury fashion and brands. She is notorious for showing off big name fashion pieces, and her adoration of the luxury lifestyle has people arguing. Some accuse her of being too materialistic, others attribute it to success.
Lisa’s always portrayed the perfect idol but haven’t we all seen people with flaws? Years of hard work, sacrifice, self control, made her ‘perfect’. Fans don’t often see the moments of self doubt and hardship she has. She fights on but continues to shine and inspire millions even with all of these struggles.
Lisa’s career has been a rollercoaster of highs and lows but she has always remained someone the K-pop world loves. Fans may not know her secrets, but her strength being strong and having to go through so much while being pretty in front of millions of people makes her even more admirable.
