BLACKPINK's Lisa is a powerful celebrity that represent Thailand in the K-Pop world!
Kianna, Staff WriterBLACKPINK has revolutionized the K-Pop world in many ones. They are one of the girl groups who have broken many records and received many firsts for K-Pop groups in the industry. They have solidified their position as one of the top girl groups in Korea, being the first to perform at the famous festival Coachella and the first group to reach 1 billion views on a YouTube video.
One of the members that has gained quite a following inside and outside of Korea is the group's very own Lisa. Lisa is a fierce, incredible talent who always reminds us why she is in one of Korea's top girl groups. Inside and outside the group, Lisa shines in ways that make her one of the hottest celebrities. We will look at some history of Lisa and why you should know all about her.
When it comes to Lisa, it's a no-brainer that she is one of the top idols when it comes to her dancing skills. Having trained from a young age in Thailand, she excels at the craft and knows many fundamentals of the talent. Her dancing makes her stand out from the crowd and she shines vividly when on stage. Her famous performance video to the song 'Tomboy' garnered much attention from people inside and outside of the K-Pop world. Her confident, sharp dancing made many people fall in love with her instantly.
Besides her famous 'Tomboy' performance, Lisa also has many other videos on her YouTube channel titled LiLi's Film. Her dance performances showcase that she can do it all. Hip-Hop, Contemporary, Vogue, and more, she powerfully dances in her dance series videos, leaving us shocked every time we watch. Another thing that makes her stand out is her expressionism. She uses her whole body and facials to truly emulate what the dance is all about. Lisa's dancing continues to captivate many and she improves every time she hits the stage.
Lisa's music video for 'LALISA' was sensational and received much popularity for her first solo release. She trended a lot for a particular scene in her video. In the music video, Lisa can be seen wearing Thailand's traditional wear and there's another surprise that comes with it, the outfit was made by Thailand fashion designers! Her full traditional outfit was made by different Thailand designers and she wanted to show off her love for her home country. In BLACKPINK's music video for 'How You Like That', the stylist even incorporated Thai traditional wear into Lisa's outfit as all the members were wearing Korean traditional wear.
Outside of music videos and performances, Lisa also posts herself sporting Thai traditional wear during her various travels. Thai idols are not new to the K-Pop industry but still, there are a few of them and their skills deserve attention. Seeing Lisa represent her country worldwide is refreshing and shows how proud of her country she is. Thailand shows their pride for Lisa as well, having many of them supporting the idol in her group and solo projects.
Lisa does what she wants, wears what she wants, and goes where she wants! Her confidence is out of this world and we admire her greatly for it. It is not easy being a non-Korean idol in the K-Pop world. She has faced discrimination and received her fair share of hate from the internet. Lisa has shown that no matter what, she expresses who she is and no one can stop her! She has shown her beautiful personality and amazing resilience in the K-Pop world. She'll post herself bare-faced, sporting different fashion wear, and attractive performances not caring what others think! When it comes to unshakeable confidence, Lisa is the standard.

Dance studios are all the rage in Korea! Here's how to sign up for them.
Kianna, Staff WriterIf you're a fan of the Korean entertainment scene, surely you've heard about how amazing the dance community is in the country.

JUSTJERK Dance Academy is a prominent and respectable studio in South Korea. Its reputation is widely known in and outside of Korea due to its lineup of teachers. The academy was on the popular series "Street Man Fighter" where they placed first! The famous choreographer Bada Lee resides at JUSTJERK and she has made many choreos for groups such as NCT, aespa, and THE BOYZ.

Class tickets must be purchased in person, costing around 30,000 won for one class. Be warned, if you want to take a popular teacher's class you should come early! Their tickets normally sell out.
If you're a K-Pop fan, you might be familiar with 1MILLION Dance Studio. Probably one of the biggest studios in Korea, 1MILLION has made numerous K-Pop choreographies for groups like MAMAMOO, aespa, and TWICE.

Here are some of the foods that were all the rage in Korean in 2023.
Kay Sesoko, Kpopmap EditorKorea is a trendsetting nation in every sense of the phrase. For instance, Korea is known for its nearly unmatched food culture and it seems that a new food item is released or trending every other day.
Would you try mint-chocolate-flavored fried chicken? Are you curious about the endless varieties of croffle that seem to be available in Korea? These are some of the food trends that took precedent in Korea in recent years. As we've said, however, the food trends in Korea are always changing. As such, we've decided to look at some of the most recent ones.
In case you missed it, we've listed some of the foods that went viral in Korea in 2023 and were endorsed by some of your favorite celebrities.
Tanghuru (탕후루 in Korean) is a Chinese traditional snack that has taken Korea by storm. The snack, which is made from fruits covered in a sugar coating, can be found at almost every corner of the city. Some of the fruits used to make tanghuru include grapes, cherry tomatoes, tangerines, strawberries, pineapples, kiwiㄴ, etc.
K-Celebs have been showing their love for this snack throughout the year as it has gained popularity. It has become trendy content to show yourself eating tanghuru for the first time, 새ㅐ.
For example, when Chuu tried tanghuru for the first time, she explained how she had never eaten it before because of how unhealthy it looked but ended up saying it was delicious.
Recently, model Han HyeJin also went viral for her reaction to the super sweet treat considering that she's a health fanatic. Despite not usually eating sweet things, even Han HyeJin was surprised at how much she enjoyed this treat.
Even BLACKPINK's JiSoo and Jennie are known for loving the snack and making it at home. In this video, the duo expertly speak about how important the sugar ratio of good tanghuru is. This video was taken 3 years ago, before tanghuru became extremely popular. Trust the trendsetting icons to be ahead of the trend!
Yakgwa (약과 in Korean) is a Korean traditional dessert in the form of a honey cookie. It has a coated sweet exterior and a warm slightly gooey texture on the inside that tastes like honey delight.
2AM's Jo Kwon did a detailed review of the different kinds of yakgwa treats that are available at the moment. This includes the original yakgwa, financiers, cookies, pretzels, cake, and more. He truly showed how delectable the dessert is with some honest and entertaining commentary. Jo Kwon's video also highlighted how the yakgwa trend spread as the traditional dessert took on numerous modern adaptations. These days one can even find yakgwa ice cream at the convenience store!
Sogeum bbang (소금빵 in Korean) is literally translated to 'salt bread' and is a combination of different bread styles to create a salted butter roll. It has been all the rage with different versions of the bread being sold all over Korea.
In an episode of "I Live Alone", famous golfer Park SeRi ventured to a popular bakery in the Seongsu neighborhood of Seoul in search of sogeum bbang. Unfortunately, the hot item was already sold out. This only shows how popular this pastry is.
Other K-Celebs have also shown their love for their bread, posting it on their social media feeds. For example, DAVICHI's Kang MinKyung has posted several times on her Instagram (both on her Instastories and her feed) about the bread. She even took to her Instastory, sharing a photo of sogeum bbang and asking why there are so many delicious things to eat in this world. Well, that's a question that we're all asking ourselves!
Last but not least, we have mara tteokbokki. If rosé tteokbokki and maratang were the food trends in Korea in 2022... 2023 is all about mara tteokbokki which combines the classic tteokbokki with mara sauce. Mara sauce gives off a spicy but slightly tangy and flavorsome taste. This tteokbokki combines the mara sauce with the usual offerings that go into a maratang such as meat, tofu ingredients like noodles, and more.
OH MY GIRL's Mimi ate mara tteokbokki on her famous mukbang channel quite recently. Despite the dish being super spicy, Mimi kept emphasizing how tasty the dish was. It's no wonder that it has become so popular, especially among fans of spicy foods.
