👨‍👩‍👧 Family

Lisa was born Lalisa Manobal in Buriram, a province in northeastern Thailand. Her biological father is Thai and her mother remarried a Swiss-Belgian chef, Marco Bruschweiler, who became her stepfather and is reportedly very supportive of her career. She moved to South Korea alone at age 14 to audition for YG Entertainment, leaving her family behind. Her family, particularly her mother, is known to attend her major performances and she frequently expresses love for her Thai roots.

Closest family member: Mother — Lisa has spoken about missing her mother most during her early years in Korea and frequently posts about her family during visits back to Thailand

⏮ Before Debut

Lisa (Lalisa Manobal) grew up in Buriram, Thailand, and began dancing competitively from a very young age, winning multiple regional and national dance competitions. In 2010, at age 13–14, she auditioned for YG Entertainment when YG held auditions in Thailand — she was the only applicant from thousands who passed that day. She moved alone to South Korea in 2011, not speaking Korean, and trained at YG for approximately 5 years. The story of a Thai teenager navigating Korea alone, learning the language from scratch, and becoming the most-followed K-pop idol globally is central to her inspirational narrative.
