Everyone hopes that the song will become successful, with the reality show PD predicting a Billboard Hot 100 entry. Although it's a lofty goal, it's still a dream that could be realized with hard work and immense support from fans worldwide.
Tongue Twister Game
They quickly move onto the next segment: a game of tongue twisters. Aria and Dita pass with flying colors while E.Ji is provided the most difficult challenge. Its difficulty comes in both length and the speed in which she must say the tongue twister.
E.Ji becomes a certified rapper, attempting to read out the tongue twister in twelve seconds. She does it three times, leaving everyone in the room speechless, however, is always one or two seconds away from success. Despite not reaching the desired time, you can't help but applaud her impressive efforts.

BLACKPINK 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.
Her Dance Skills Highlight Her Mad Talent
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.
She Isn't Afraid To Show Her Pride In Her Country
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.

She's Not Afraid To Express Who She Is
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.
10 Actors Who Would Be Perfect In The K-Drama Adaptation Of Webtoon "The Mermaid I Loved" [VOTE]

With all the amazing webtoons-based dramas that have been released in the past couple of years, we have only become more excited about upcoming K-Dramas linked with webtoons.
The webtoon "The Mermaid I Loved" is a special case because the story was first written as a script for a drama production. The drama production is on its way and the webtoon was pre-released. The drama's production company, Group Eight, thought that in releasing it first as a webtoon they could showcase some of the various deep sea adventures of the story and also help garner attention for the drama.

The romance fantasy adventure webtoon “The Mermaid I Loved” ("내가 사랑한 물고기," literal translation, “The Fish I Loved”), written by Cosmic Bom Bom and Bubal (우주봄봄 and 부발), tells the story of a man whose intermittent transformations into a mermaid become increasingly uncontrollable as he experiences the emotion of love and spends time with a woman who he finds himself more and more attracted to. The season 1 of the webtoon ended on March 13th with 31 episodes.
Given the webtoon’s popularity, Group Eight is looking forward the positive effect the webtoon will have on the upcoming drama’s viewership. They have built a solid portfolio with dramas based on webtoons like "Taxi Driver", "My ID is Gangnam Beauty" and "A Good Day To Be A Dog". Among their awaited projects is the reboot of the popular drama "Princess Hours" (2006).
Currently, there are no actors cast for “The Mermaid I Loved”. Fans of the webtoon are waiting for the announcement of the cast. We can already think of actors and actresses who would be perfect for the roles!
"The Mermaid I Loved" by Cosmic Bom Bom and Bubal on NAVER
We at Kpopmap have thought up a cast of actors who would suit this drama amazingly.
1. Sim Kai (심카이), a mermaid and 3rd generation chaebol
Sim Kai is the lead male character. He discovered he was a mermaid 12 years ago and he pretends to be a human.

When he shares physical touch with a woman, his fish scales begin to appear and he transforms back into his mermaid form. Because of this, he avoids all contact with women and has been single his whole life.
But due to his handsome looks, he has a lot of girls chasing after him, so he hired YaNa to pretend to be his girlfriend. However, he can’t help himself from having physical contact with YaNa even if it means he won’t be able breathe.

Kai is the son of the jewelry brand Inoroo, or 3rd generation chaebol, but he is not interested in the family business and instead prefers performing as a mermaid at the aquarium.
The actor must possess features suitable for long hair and a muscular physique to be able to portray a mermaid. He should exude charm and look dazzling in a suit, while also being capable of conveying a mix of cynicism, cuteness, and panic in his expressions. Comfort with underwater filming is also mandatory.
Moon SangMin, WEi's Kim YoHan, Baek SungChul, Kim MyungSoo (INFINITE's L), and Chae JongHyeop could be a good match.

Not only would they look stunning with long hair and looks amazing in suits, but their facial features would perfectly match the character's. Beyond their physical attributes, all five actors possess the talent and ability to convey Kai through the right facial expressions. The genre of fantasy romance suits them impeccably. Each actor would bring their unique colors and charms to the character, making him stand out on screen. Additionally, we can anticipate excellent chemistry with the lead actress.

Jung YaNa (24 years old) is the lead female character. She is a student who works a part-time job and has an easy-going personality.
She accidentally kisses Kai when she meets him for the first time, and shocked to see him suddenly fall very sick, she calls the ambulance. She ends up more shocked when she sees him put his face into a dirty bucket of water used for cleaning.

The actress should possess a mix of cuteness and strength, capable of expressing a wide range of emotions, and especially comedy. The character experiences rapid and extreme changes in emotions, so the actress should be able to show these transitions convincingly. Additionally, she should look just like a regular student, but be able to become a stunning lady with expensive clothes.
Kang MinAh, WJSN's Bona (Kim JiYeon), Chae SooBin, Girl's Day's HyeRi, and Seor InA could be a good match.
H& Entertainment / King Kong by Starship / Creative Group Ing / GOLDMEDALIST
All five actresses have demonstrated their talented acting and are well-suited for a character like YaNa. Each of them possesses the ability to portray the youthful, cute, and fiery vibes of the female lead character. Comedy and expressive acting would not be an issue for any of them, so it would be a smooth portrayal of the character without overdoing it and making viewers laugh. No need to mention that they would all bring great chemistry with the lead actor! Being a romance, it is crucial.
