LISA (리사; born Pranpriya Manobal, later legally Lalisa Manobal) is a Thai rapper, singer, dancer and actress, born on March 27, 1997 in Satuek district, Buriram province, Thailand. She rose to prominence as a member of BLACKPINK, which debuted under YG Entertainment in August 2016.1

Her debut single album Lalisa (September 2021) made her the first female artist to sell 736,000 copies of an album in its first week in South Korea, and spawned the Billboard Global 200 top-ten singles "Lalisa" and "Money"; "Money" became the first song by a K-pop solo artist to reach one billion streams on Spotify. In 2024 she founded her own management company, Lloud, and signed with RCA Records, and her debut studio album Alter Ego (2025) debuted in the top ten of the US Billboard 200.
