From a small Thai town to the Golden Globes stage-the extraordinary journey of the world's biggest K-pop star!

In January 2026, Lisa of Blackpink made history as the first K-pop artist to present at the Golden Globe Awards. But this wasn't just another milestone for the most-followed K-pop idol on Instagram. It marked something unprecedented: the transformation of a pop star into a global entertainment force.

Lisa: The Unstoppable Rise of a Global Icon tells the story of how Lalisa Manobal-born in rural Thailand, trained in Seoul's brutal K-pop system, and now commanding stages from Coachella to Cannes-built a career that defies every category the entertainment industry tried to put her in.
