BLACKPINK’s Lisa to Receive Special Honor

Blackpink’s Lisa is receiving a significant honor. The K-pop star was announced as the “cultural icon” of the 21 inductees of the 2023 Asian Hall of Fame on Aug. 8.  According to the official press release, the Asian Hall of Fame was established “to advance cross-cultural collaboration by celebrating Asian and Indigenous legacy in the United States and globally.” Further noted, as the representatives of 4 billion people from 33 countries and the Asian Hall of Fame Inductees and Artist Ambassadors, these inductees and ambassadors inspire courage, character, and a commitment to service for the benefit of humanity and humankind. “Asian Hall of Fame advances Asian and Indigenous leadership and service to America and globally. Inductees, artists, and leaders convene to overcome bias through cross-cultural collaboration.”

In 1997, Lisa was born Pranpriya Manobal in Buriram Province, Thailand. She later legally changed her name to Lalisa, which means “one who is praised”; a fortune teller advised her to take this name for prosperity. As an only child, she was raised by her Thai mother, Chitthip Brüschweiler, as well as by her Swiss stepfather, Marco Brüschweiler, who is a chef. After a monsoon flooded several regions of Thailand in 2019, she donated money to a disaster relief fund, and in 2021, she began collecting donations to build a cultural compound in her hometown.
