Lisa of Blackpink uploaded a video showing herself receiving a plaque from Spotify to mark the milestone of 1 billion streams on the music platform.
Opening the box to reveal the plaque, she read the message from the platform: “Congrats on being the first female K-pop artist to have a track reach 1 billion streams in Spotify history!”
The video also showed the K-pop star doing her own interpretation of a Thai dish called Khai Jiao, which is said to be a “Thai shrimp omelette.”
“Every house in Thailand has to have this. It’s like, the best,” she wrote, while noting that the recipe includes green onions, liquid seasoning, eggs and shrimp.
Speaking in Thai, Lisa admitted that being recognized for her recent feat is an “unbelievable” achievement which, in turn, makes her “proud” of herself. “It makes me want to keep making music,” she continued.
She achieved the feat on her own with her solo song “Money,” which entered the streaming platform’s official Billions Club playlist. “Money” is a B-side track from her first solo single “Lalisa,” which came out in September 2021.
Spotify hailed her onto the list, tweeting in September: “Welcome Lisa to the Club!”
