Why Lisa Changed Her Name
Lisa, born Pranpriya Manobal, changed her name based on the advice of a fortune teller, a practice common in Thai culture. Her mother took her to the fortune teller because she was concerned about Lisa's lack of success. The fortune teller recommended changing her name to bring good luck, and thus, she became Lalisa, which roughly means "one who is praised." This change coincided with her being invited to train in Seoul by YG Entertainment.
Hobbies and Interests: In her free time, Lisa enjoys visiting Pop Mart, an international toy-store chain, to collect adorable characters. She also loves traveling to different locations to find rare figurines.
Culinary Preferences: Lisa has a strong preference for Thai food and often seeks out the best Thai restaurants wherever she is. She prefers Ruen Pair in Los Angeles because it reminds her of the authentic taste of home.
