Lalisa “Lisa” Manoban has thanked her fans for their birthday wishes, after the K-pop star celebrated by returning to Thailand for the first time in three years.
“This year I’m so happy that I am spending my birthday with my family and friends. Thanks everyone for making my birthday special for another year,” the Blackpink star posted on Instagram on Sunday.
The post, which was accompanied by photos of Lisa wearing a blue pompom dress and posing with her birthday cake, drew likes from over 4.6 million netizens. Thai-French actress and model Diana Flipo, a friend of Lisa’s, featured in one of the pictures.
Lisa returned to Thailand last Tuesday after three years away to celebrate her 25th birthday on March 27. She was spotted at a barbeque shop in Bangkok on Tuesday night.
Millions of Blackpink fans, known as BLINK, wished Lisa a happy birthday on Twitter and Instagram on Sunday, as the hashtags #SuperstarLalisaDay, #LovingLisaDay, and #오늘쁘생일인데어쩔릴리 top-trended across the globe.
Born on March 27, 1997 in Buri Ram, Lisa developed a passion for K-pop culture and dancing at an early age. She honed her childhood talents in singing contests before eventually joining the 11-member dance crew We Zaa Cool.
In 2010, aged 13, she auditioned for South Korean music label YG Entertainment and beat competition from 4,000 applicants to become a trainee.
She launched her career with Blackpink six years later in August 2016.
In 2021 she made her solo debut with the album “Lalisa”, which scored over 76 million views in its first 24 hours of release on YouTube – a world record for a solo artist.
Though Hollywood comedians are known for their insensitivity on stage, Chris Rock may have gone one step too far during the Oscars on Monday.
In fact, his joke about Jada Pinkett Smith’s decision to shave her head was so insensitive that it won him a slap across the face from actor Will Smith.
When Rock joked about Pinkett Smith, comparing her to the character Demi Moore played in the film “G I Jane”, in which she had shaved her hair, Smith walked on stage and slapped Rock in what appeared to be a scripted joke.
The mood however turned sour when Smith shouted: “Keep my wife’s name out of your f**king mouth.”
Smith, who won the Best Actor award for his role as Richard Williams in “King Richard”, later apologised for his outburst during his acceptance speech.
Pinkett Smith chose to start shaving her head in 2018 to deal with hair loss issues and has spoken in the past about her battle with alopecia.
Rock has reportedly said he will not file a police complaint against Smith over the slap.
The hashtag #SuperstarLalisaDay was ranked the top Twitter trend in the world on Sunday, as fans of the girl group Blackpink celebrated Lalisa “Lisa” Manoban’s 25th birthday.

Users of other social media platforms also joined the party, as Facebook buzzed with birthday greetings for the 25-year-old Thai member of the popular South Korean girl group.

Lalisa “Lisa” Manoban of renowned K-pop band Blackpink was spotted leaving a barbeque shop in Bangkok on Tuesday night.
In a viral clip, Lisa was seen surrounded by a few young women as she stepped out of the three-storey air-conditioned shophouse in Soi Chokechai 4. She wore a hat and a face mask and was driven away in a white vehicle.
Lisa, who has not returned to her homeland for almost three years, landed in Thailand on Tuesday to celebrate her birthday with her family at her Buri Ram home. She turns 24 on Thursday.
Her fans commented on the posts sharing the clip that Lisa was “down-to-earth” and “did not hire bodyguards like other international artists”. Many of the fans also said they would try out the barbeque shop.
On September 11 last year, roadside fried fish-ball shops became all the rage after Lisa revealed that she liked the fish balls sold behind Buri Ram railway station. Many of her fans subsequently swamped the shop there for a taste.
Nipa Wiriyanuparp, 37, the owner of a shop in Buri Ram, said her fish balls had become popular following Lisa’s comment. She said she had opened as many as 100 branches across the country.
Nipa said she would love to welcome Lisa on her birthday and would allow the singer and her fans to eat fish balls for free on the day.
News of K-pop band BlackPink’s only Thai member Lalisa “Lisa” Manoban returning home to celebrate her 25th birthday went viral on Tuesday.
The news also gave birth to two top trending Twitter hashtags: #มีนาแล้วมีลิซ่าด้วย and #WELCOMEHOMELILI.
A tweet via BlackPink’s Blink Union account said Lalisa had landed at Suvarnabhumi Airport at around noon on Tuesday.
Before heading home, Lalisa had reportedly gone to France and Italy to participate in promotional activities for Italian luxury brand Bulgari, which is known for its jewellery, watches and other luxury goods. The K-pop star is Bulgari’s global ambassador.
Lalisa sparked controversy last week when she was chosen as the brand ambassador for Scotch whisky Chivas Regal. Many of her fans wondered if she would be charged under Section 32 of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Act.
According to Section 32, “no person shall advertise or display, directly or indirectly, the name or trademark of any alcoholic beverage in a manner showing the properties thereof or inducing another person to drink”.
However, this law cannot touch Lalisa because she is promoting the brand outside Thailand.
