This marks a historic achievement as she becomes the first K-pop idol inducted in the Asian Hall of Fame. Being named a "cultural icon" in the Asian Hall of Fame is a groundbreaking achievement, highlighting Lisa's remarkable influence on Asian culture and K-pop.

The Asian Hall of Fame, founded by the Robert Chinn Foundation in 2004, functions as a platform to honor visionary leaders who have achieved remarkable advancements within underrepresented sectors. Its primary objective involves the illumination of Asian contributions, the mitigation of biases, and the cultivation of cross-cultural comprehension.

In this lineup of inductees, Lisa’s presence underscores her profound impact in music and entertainment, alongside legends like Freddie Mercury and Ryuichi Sakamoto. The upcoming October 21 induction ceremony at Los Angeles’ Biltmore Hotel is a pivotal moment for Lisa, tracing her journey from YG entertainment’s first global trainee to a recognized K-pop icon.

Born Pranpriya Manobal, Lisa's journey from her Thai origins to becoming an integral part of Blackpink demonstrates her remarkable determination. Lisa started with the band in 2016 after training. She debuted with Jennie, Rose, and Jisoo. In her seven-year career, Lisa made history and became a global cultural icon and ambassador for luxury brands like Celine, Bulgari, Mac, Adidas, and more. As a rapper, dancer, and youngest member of the group, her talents have propelled Blackpink to the global stage. Lisa's achievements resonate beyond her musical prowess, as she represents a beacon of cultural diversity and innovation.

Lisa's induction into the Asian Hall of Fame mirrors the emotions of her passionate audience, known as BLINKs.
