(Dan Tri) - In a recent interview, female singer Lisa (member of Blackpink) shared about the pressures of being an idol star who always receives special attention from the media and fans.
Since ending her exclusive contract with Korean entertainment company YG Entertainment and establishing her own entertainment company, Lisa has changed her fashion style and promoted her artistic activities in the international market. She continuously releases new music products and attends international entertainment and fashion events.

Most recently, on March 3, Lisa performed at the 2025 Oscars and was the first Kpop artist (Korean youth music) to be invited to perform at the prestigious film awards ceremony. Lisa's career is considered to be increasingly prosperous, her opportunities to reach the international market are increasingly expanding.
However, for Lisa personally, 2024 was a challenging year. She said in an interview with WOODY FM: "I barely had time to sleep, most of my rest was on the plane. At this point, I don't know how I could get through it. In fact, I used my time effectively, trying many new things, including acting and releasing the album Alter Ego ."
Learn to deal with compliments and criticism
In 2024, Lisa continuously released new music products, with a completely different color from Blackpink. In particular, her first personal single - Rockstar - reached nearly 273 million views on YouTube. Lisa said that this single was made by her team in the US and was very different from her previous music products.

"At first, I was scared because I had never worked in an environment like this. In Korea, I was used to working with a team that understood my style very well. But in Los Angeles (USA), they didn't know me yet, so it took us time to edit and adapt," Lisa said.
In the process of building a new image, Lisa also faced many negative opinions. Her decision to perform at a strip club in Paris (France) in 2023 caused her to receive a lot of criticism from the Chinese and Korean public.
Then, her European-American music products released in 2024 also caused mixed reactions among Asian audiences. Her bold fashion trends and suspicions of lip-syncing at events also caused Lisa to lose a significant number of fans.

Talking about mixed compliments and criticisms, Lisa confided: "I always try my best, but there are still negative comments. I understand that not everyone likes me, but some comments really make me wonder: "Am I not good enough?". Although I know that opinions are very diverse, I never expected it to make me think so much."
"People can't imagine how much pressure I was under. I'm used to it. Now, I'm more confident when performing, although I still need to improve my English speaking skills," she added.
The fear of being stalked
The Thai singer also shared about her encounter with a crazy fan and the fear of being stalked. "At my home in Korea, where security is not too strict, one day I came home and saw a fan waiting outside. I told them: 'If you want to see me, come to events, not at my house'.
But it didn't stop there. One evening, when I was returning home, I saw that person again. I was alone that day because the manager was busy. When I got into the car, suddenly someone tried to squeeze in with me, they even put their feet inside to prevent the door from closing. I was very scared and didn't know what to do. From then on, I felt unsafe when I was alone."
Currently, Lisa has a female manager living with her in Korea and Los Angeles (USA).

Impressive achievements of album Alter Ego
Currently, the female singer born in 1997 is focusing on promoting her personal album Alter Ego. Lisa's album is currently at number 1 on iTunes worldwide.
On the US iTunes chart, all 15 songs from Alter Ego charted in the US. This made Lisa the first female K-pop singer to have all the songs from an album chart at the same time.
The title track of Alter Ego's album - Fxck Up The World - topped the iTunes song charts in 16 regions. Although Alter Ego 's achievements were quite good, Lisa's new album was still criticized by audiences and music critics for lacking identity and depth.
In addition, recently, the idol star also had an interesting experience in the long-running TV series The White Lotus . The Thai singer took on a supporting role in the film and received positive feedback from the audience in her first foray into cinema.

Despite the pressure of life, Lisa always tries to find joy for herself through her own hobbies and passions: "I raise several cats. Just having them by my side makes me feel better. When I'm tired, I sleep. If I can't sleep, I go shopping."
Lisa (born in 1997) is the only non-Korean member of the Korean idol group Blackpink. The female singer and her sisters have turned Blackpink into a global girl group, becoming one of the prides of Kpop in the world music market.
In addition to her musical achievements, Lisa is also a fashion icon for the global youth generation. Lisa's personal Instagram page has reached 105 million followers.
The 9X generation singer is said to be dating businessman Frédéric Arnault. The couple started dating in 2023. Frédéric Arnault's support is said to have had a big impact on Lisa's career development in the international market.
