RE: "Why is Lisa the most popular?"

  • I’m just surprised as she’s not ethnically korean, and not a great singer at that. Is it sheer charisma, is she the hottest, does she have all the i fans?

    • Southeast Asians see her as representation
    • Westerners see her as representation because she looks western
    • Thai people see her as their source of pride, their first big idol in K-pop
    • Her English rap verses, even on Blackpink's early songs, definitely stood out
    • She's popular among dancers all around the world. You don't have to like K-pop to appreciate good dancing.


    Replying to:

    OP
  • Representation being a big factor is only cool to a certain point... there were sea idols before and after her and not everyone has the representation clicking for them...


    When I first saw Lisa in boombayah I didn't even noticed she looked different than the others or what country she was from... I was simply like " omggggggg who is she"... She got me and a lot of people into kpop singlehandedly. Lisa just pops off of the screen in a lot of blackpink mvs... Blackpink music and vibe also helps BP members stardom. I absolutely love rapper and dancer Lisa and u can genuinely see how well she carries herself professionally.


    Her offscreen persona even though totally different to her onscreen bad ass persona just make her so unique... she has this bright positive vibe about her that grounds her superstar persona...She has that Star quality but also feels approachable.

  • As somebody from the UK, I never followed Kpop until Miss Jennie Kim mentioned Dua Lipa's New Rules back in 2018. I checked out D4 and the girl with the katana caught my eye, watched more mvs and her performances in Whistle and Boombayah blew me away.


    Antis can keep shouting SEA representation, but truth is she's a charismatic performer. She knows how to control the stage and dominates it. She has the IT factor that very few people have and that is why she has so many fans all around the world.

    Incredible dance skills, check.

    Deadly eye-catching stage presence, check.

  • She speaks English fluently. She recieves support from Thai fans who see her as an inspiration or someone who represents them. She's attractive not only looks-wise but presence-wise, she just draws you in when she's on stage; you can inmeditely tell she's talented by one stage or one MV. Off stage she's bubbly and sweet which makes her more relatable as a casual fan, so she's also biased a lot

  • She just gas soooo much star power and charisma

    I feel like out of all the members she fits the Girl crush concept the most.


    Her raps and dancing skills make her stand out alot even when performing with a stage full of talented dancers she still stands out.


    She's also a mix of evething great

    Great dancer

    Great stage presence

    Great rap

    Great visuals

    Great personality

    Literally nothing to not like.


    Her being foreign and fluent in English definitely helped as well but not as much as people would like to think.
