Guiness also lauded Lisa for breaking the record of K-pop supergroup BTS, who were previously the only recipients of Best K-pop Video since 2019 in the VMAs.
Born as Pranpriya Manoban in March 1997, Lisa debuted as a member of Blackpink in August 2016 as the main dancer and lead rapper. The K-pop idol legally changed her name to “Lalisa” later on, after receiving advice about prosperity from a fortune teller.
Lisa debuted as a solo artist in September 2021 with her first single album “Lalisa”, which includes the title track of the same name and “Money”. EDV
