Rosalía has released new music after a year, and she’s done it with the best company. The artist behind ‘Motomami’ has finally surprised her fans with what they’ve been asking for months, ‘New Woman,’ a collaboration with LISA. But who is this popular K-pop star who has a good relationship with the Catalan artist?

Lalisa Manobal, professionally known as LISA, was born on March 27, 1997, in Buriram, Thailand. From a young age, she exhibited exceptional talent in dance and music, which led her to participate in various competitions and TV programs in her home country. In 2010, her life took a turn when she was selected by YG Entertainment, one of South Korea’s largest entertainment agencies, to join their training program.

Their unique style, which blends pop, hip-hop, and EDM, has been key to their success.

Since her debut, LISA has achieved numerous milestones both with Blackpink and in her solo career. In 2021, she released her first single on her own, ‘Lalisa,’ which broke YouTube view records and topped the charts in several countries. Her second single, ‘Money,’ was also a huge success, solidifying her status as one of the most influential K-pop artists.
