Later, Manobal appeared in the music video for her label-mate Taeyang's single "Ringa Linga."

Blackpink

Manobal rose to fame in 2016 as one of the four members of the South Korean girl group Blackpink, which was formed by YG Entertainment. Using the stage name Lisa, she was joined by Jisoo, Jennie, and Rosé. Blackpink's first release was the debut single album "Square One," which featured the hit singles "Whistle" and "Boombayah." The group subsequently released "Square Two," which launched the hit single "Playing with Fire." In 2018, Blackpink expanded its international reach with the single "Ddu-Du Ddu-Du," which became the first song by a Korean female group to enter the UK Singles Chart and to be certified gold in the United States. The song was included on the group's first Korean EP, "Square Up." Also in 2018, Blackpink collaborated with singer Dua Lipa on the hit song "Kiss and Make Up." The group continued its success in 2019 with its second Korean EP, "Kill This Love," which debuted at number 24 on the Billboard 200 and spawned the hit title track.

Blackpink released its debut studio album, "The Album," in 2020. Supported by the successful singles "How You Like That," "Ice Cream," and "Lovesick Girls," the album debuted at number one in South Korea and number two on the Billboard 200 in the US. It also reached number one in Mexico and New Zealand. Blackpink released its second studio album, "Born Pink," in 2022. An even bigger hit, it made it to number one in South Korea, the US, the UK, and Canada, and became the best-selling album by a female act in South Korean history. "Born Pink" spawned the successful singles "Pink Venom" and "Shut Down." Blackpink went on to embark on the Born Pink World Tour, which broke the record for the highest-grossing concert tour by a female group, as well as for the most-attended concert tour by a K-pop girl group. The group has broken numerous other records, including for the most-subscribed-to and most-viewed music artist channel on YouTube and the most-followed and most-streamed girl group on Spotify.

Moreover, it spawned the hit singles "Lalisa" and "Money," both of which were accompanied by hugely popular music videos. Later in 2021, Lisa had success with the single "SG," a collaboration with DJ Snake, Ozuna, and Megan Thee Stallion.

Lisa's Endorsements

Lisa Manoban has established herself as one of the most commercially influential figures in global entertainment, commanding an endorsement portfolio that spans multiple industries and continents. Her status as the most-followed K-pop idol on Instagram—boasting over 105 million followers as of 2025—has transformed her into a marketing powerhouse with unprecedented reach. This massive digital presence has made her particularly valuable to brands seeking authentic connections with Gen Z and millennial consumers worldwide.

Lisa's most prestigious partnership is with Italian luxury house Bulgari, where she serves as a global brand ambassador alongside other international celebrities. This relationship has featured her prominently in worldwide campaigns for high-end jewelry collections and exclusive timepieces. Simultaneously, her ambassadorship with French luxury brand Celine under creative director Hedi Slimane has positioned her as a fashion authority, regularly appearing in their runway shows and global advertising campaigns.

Beyond luxury goods, Lisa has secured lucrative partnerships with beauty giants MAC Cosmetics, where she launched her own collection, and Moonshot, a Korean cosmetics brand that saw sales surge after her appointment. Her commercial appeal crosses into technology with Samsung, spirits with Chivas Regal (making her the first female ambassador for the Scotch whisky brand in Asia), and athletic wear with Adidas, demonstrating her remarkable cross-category versatility.

What distinguishes Lisa in the endorsement landscape is the "Lisa Effect"—her proven ability to drive consumer behavior. Products featured in her social media posts consistently sell out within hours, sometimes minutes. This phenomenon extends beyond explicit endorsements to items she's merely photographed using. Her partnership with AIS Thailand, D&G Downy, and numerous Thai brands reflects her strategic maintenance of connections to her home country despite her global career.

Beyond traditional endorsements, Lisa has diversified into content creation through her photography books and YouTube channel, further expanding her commercial ecosystem and establishing herself as not just a celebrity endorser but a full-fledged business entity with global impact.
