Lisa and her childhood immersed in the arts
Lisa, who hails from Thailand, is the only child in her family with a Thai mother and a Swiss stepfather. Lisa’s mother’s name is Chitthip Brüschweiler, and her stepfather is Marco Brüschweiler, a renowned chef currently working in Thailand. Lisa completed her secondary education at Praphamontree School I and II. It is known that during her childhood, Lisa had a great passion for singing and dancing. While studying in her homeland of Thailand, she participated in numerous competitions.
According to Ratchadaporn Ruengrit, one of Lisa’s former teachers who was close to her, as well as many other children, Lisa was cheerful, generous, and joyful when she was young. However, Lisa also displayed a mature side, as she was “determined and responsible” even at a young age. The Thai teacher also recounted that Lisa loved participating in various activities. “Whenever there was a performance or competition, she would join them all.” She was famously close friends with Bambam (GOT7) and together they competed in various dance battles in their hometown. Teachers at the school also revealed that Lisa was always sweet, enthusiastic, and enjoyed helping others, just like she is now. Even back then, they could see that Lisa had the qualities to become a shining star with her friendly personality.
At the age of 11, Lisa participated in a talent competition representing her school and secured the second-place position. In September 2009, the group took part in the LG Entertainment Million Dream Sanan World competition, which was broadcasted on Channel 9, and received the “Special Team” Award. Furthermore, Lisa had a special interest in the Korean entertainment industry. She greatly admired the music groups Big Bang and 2NE1 and aspired to become an idol herself one day. Therefore, in 2010, when Lisa wanted to seek Ruengrit’s opinion on whether she should go to South Korea to become an idol, Ruengrit immediately supported her. Despite leaving her homeland, Lisa never forgets where she comes from. Ruengrit revealed that Lisa occasionally visits her old school during her trainee days.
“She will never forget Thailand. If there’s an opportunity, she will always find a way to connect with her family and childhood friends.” She firmly stated, “Lisa is an inspiration for many young people in Thailand.” It can be said that despite leaving her homeland at an early age and having a short childhood due to her trainee days in South Korea, Lisa remains passionate and determined. More importantly, she always has her homeland, her family, and her fans’ support. This serves as a significant motivation for her to continue developing her career.
Artistic Activities of Lisa from BlackPink
In 2010, Lisa auditioned for YG Entertainment in Thailand. Out of 4,000 applicants, she was the only one to pass the audition, which led the CEO at the time, Yang Hyun-suk, to offer Lisa the opportunity to become a trainee at YG Entertainment. In 2011, Lisa moved to South Korea to begin her formal training as a trainee, which lasted for five years. She officially joined the company as the first foreign trainee on April 11, 2011. In November 2013, she appeared in Taeyang’s song “Ringa Linga” alongside IKON and Winner, as one of the backup dancers.
In March 2015, Lisa became the first representative model for the street fashion brand Nona9on, and later for the Korean cosmetics brand Moonshot in 2016.
On August 8, 2016, Lisa made her official debut as one of the four members of the music group BlackPink, along with Jennie, Rose, and Jisoo. The group debuted with their first single album, “Square One,” featuring the lead singles “Whistle” and “Boombayah.” “Whistle” achieved a perfect “all-kill” by topping all major Korean music charts upon release. Lisa was selected as the main member for the military variety show “Real Man 300” by MBC, starting from September 21, 2018. This marked her first main cast role on a television program since her debut. She received the unofficial award for “Person of the Year” at the 2018 MBC Entertainment Awards.
On November 5, 2018, Lisa launched her own YouTube channel, Lilifilm Official. As of August 2021, her YouTube channel has gained over 9 million subscribers and more than 314 million views, earning her the YouTube Gold Play Button. Notably, one of her dance performance videos went viral in 2020, with screenshots of her legs being edited onto the bodies of public figures, accompanied by the caption “Did it work?” Celebrities such as Dolly Parton, Stephen Colbert, James Corden, Luke Evans, and Lil Nas X also participated in the meme by sharing photos of themselves with Lisa’s legs.
In March 2020, Lisa served as a dance mentor on the second season of the show “Youth With You” produced by IQiyi. In March 2021, she continued her role as a dance mentor on the third season of the show.
On April 19, 2021, an official from YG Entertainment revealed to the Korean media outlet The Korea Herald that Lisa would debut as the third solo artist from the group, with the official schedule to be announced through a notice. On July 12, through Star News, her company revealed that the filming for her music video was underway. On August 25, Lisa released her debut solo single album, “Lalisa,” with the title track of the same name on September 10. The music video for “Lalisa” became the most-watched solo artist’s music video within 24 hours, with 73.6 million views, breaking the previous record held by Taylor Swift and Brendon Urie with “Me!,” which received 65.2 million views in 24 hours.
“Lalisa” and the B-side track “Money” both reached the second and tenth positions on the Billboard Global 200, giving Lisa her first two global top 10 hits. The single album sold 736,221 copies in its first week in South Korea, setting the record for the highest first-week sales by a female artist and making Lisa the first solo artist to sell.
Lisa’s Personal Life
Lisa is admired for her clean personal life. In addition, her friendly personality and willingness to help others are highly praised. The idol rarely gets involved in scandals or dating rumors, except for fan-generated pairing speculations. There have been two instances where she was suspected of dating, namely with Taeyong (NCT) and Park Bo Gum. However, as of the current time, the representatives of those involved have not made any official statements regarding these rumors.
Lisa is also known for being hardworking, professional, and always giving her best on stage. Additionally, as a Thai individual, she is engaged in various charitable activities, providing assistance to the people in her homeland, the Land of Smiles.
Despite her fame and admirable career, Lisa is still known as a beloved daughter within her family. She is the only child in a family with a Thai mother and a stepfather who is a renowned Swedish chef. Despite this, the relationship between Lisa and her stepfather, Marco Brüschweiler, is excellent. He considers her as his own daughter and showers her with love and affection.
