BLACKPINK’s Lisa Just Set These Three Guinness World Records
This is honestly super impressive.
Forget the Grammys, BLACKPINK’s Lisa is crushing world records. She just set three new ones!
This isn’t the first time her name has appeared in the records, it is, however, her first time setting new ones as a solo artist, according to the Guinness World Records organization.
Lisa released her solo debut single “La Lisa” last year, the video for which has been viewed more than 577 million times.
Her previous records with her band included the most subscribers for a band on YouTube, the first K-pop group to reach No. 1 on the UK albums chart (female), and the first K-pop group to reach No. 1 on the US albums chart (female).
Now Lisa has her own bragging rights as the first solo K-pop winner at the MTV Video Music Awards, the first solo K-pop winner at the MTV Europe Music Awards, and the title of having the most followers on Instagram for a K-pop artist. As of this writing, the pop star currently has 87.2 million followers on the social media platform.
Next up, Lisa, who is currently touring Asia with BLACKPINK, will be making history by headlining Coachella alongside Bad Bunny and Frank Ocean. This makes BLACKPINK the first-ever K-pop group to do so.
She has not publicly shared any of her relationships.
Lisa changed her birthname Pranpriya Manobal to Lisa following the advice of a psychic, because they said it would bring her luck.
