‘I was too shy to tell Bieber how much I loved him’: Lisa from Blackpink’s honest playlist
The K-pop superstar on the pop hit that kickstarted her music career, and why she can no longer listen to one of her band’s biggest songs
The first song I fell in love with
I’m an only child. My older cousin would come round to play at my house, and she was a big fan of Britney Spears. She put on … Baby One More Time and I was like: “What is this song? I love it.” I watched the music video and fell in love with her.
The first record I bought
I was a big fan of K-pop band BigBang before I moved from Thailand to Korea. I bought Taeyang’s first solo album Solar from Myeongdong, Korea’s famous shopping and fashion district where all the tourists go.
