What's not to like?  She's Thai and she's a superstar. 

[Why Me]

Gorgeous and talented and already worth millions in her 20s. Ah, well.

What, exactly, is her “talent?”

 

I’m guessing that whatever it is, it’s not something anyone would be taking seriously if she were 40.

[siftasam]

What luscious lips!

 

Good luck to you, gal!

They are puppets, living a life full of sacrifices...I don't think they are very happy to be what they are.

Possibly would not have had the opportunity, success or income here. Churning out turgid ballads for the dinosaurs clad in a yellow costume...

A question you could answer yourself, since you were the first to pay attention to this news and feeling the urge to comment.

Here comes Mr Negative.

She is in one of the world's biggest girl bands in Korea.  They are Korean.  In Korea.  So that is why she lives there.  Pretty simple really.

Incidentally she won an audition with a Korean record label when she was 13, the only one out of 4,000 applicants and was offered a position with them by their CEO.  So she moved there to study at 14 and became very successful.

But Mr Negative can't stand successful Thais so he has to criticise.  And the best you can do is "She doesn't live in Thailand"?  Pretty pathetic really.

[Jeffrey346]

Her mother is Thai her father is Swiss. She worked her butt off to get where she is today.  You have Movie, Music, TV stars living all over the world. I don't hear anyone saying they should be living in the country they are from.

I congratulate you Lisa and wish you continued success.

She's a global superstar.  I'm sure she has homes all over the world.   Maybe she'll retire to Buriram when the Blackpink bubble bursts ????

Sort of a bandwagon appeal.

 

”Successful” or “popular” =/= good.

Pre-fab/poseur pop “stars.”

 

Prior to the age of Pro Tools and live backing tracks, they wouldn’t have even been a blip on the radar.

Freed1948 why should a man be jealous of the attention a girly pop star is getting and look for reasons to deny her that attention?

[DJ54]

What would the world be like without haters for cause…. Fantastic…

Exactly my point... she has no real interest in working or living in Thailand other than the odd visit back to perform.

Todays fad  tomorrows  nobodies.......they of course write  all their  own music, play all the instruments and  will be remebered in 5? 10? 20 years......no didnt think so.

Manufactured drivel for the mass  market  teenyboppers,  no doubt successful currenty like the brief fad of The  Spice  Girls  but  long term  nothing, No creative abiltiy such as Lennon MCartney, Brian Wilson, George Michael . Mozart Bach etc

What I remember of the Spice Girls in their heyday was seeing them perform live on a TV show --a 5 girl group -- but they still had on stage and used back-up singers.

but maybe "preform" is better.

They were  just  more manufactured krap. They get  little  respect from me   unless they can write and play the instruments, Im sure that worries them though. I dont rank Elvis either for that reason, popuar as they may have been.
