Thai Children Say "We Want to Meet BLACKPINK and BTS on Children's Day"
Thai Ministry of Culture Survey... 3 of 5 K-pop Groups in Singer Category
Preferred Gift 'Cash' · Urgent Issue 'Drugs'
Thai children were surveyed to most want to meet K-pop groups BLACKPINK and BTS on Children's Day.
On the 14th, the local media Bangkok Post reported that in a survey conducted by the Thai Ministry of Culture to celebrate Children's Day, children in the country responded that they wanted to meet BLACKPINK, Thai member Lisa, BTS, and others. This survey was conducted by the Thai Ministry of Culture through the polling agency Suan Dusit Poll, with 21,627 children participating.
Thai children answered that they most wanted to meet singers, and among the five groups (individuals) listed in the singer category announced by the Ministry of Culture, three were K-pop artists: BLACKPINK, BTS, and BLACKPINK's Lisa. The other two were Thai singers Three Man Down and Rachanon Suwannaket.
The most common answer for the gift they wanted to receive on Children's Day was cash. Also, the most urgent issue that Thai children thought needed to be addressed was drug problems.
Lisa, a member of BLACKPINK, was born in Buriram Province, Thailand, and grew up in the capital Bangkok. Her real name is Lalisa Manoban. Earlier this month, she was also selected as the most influential person in Thailand in another survey. Especially, Lisa is receiving greater love as a self-made model star who became a global star from a commoner background in Thailand, where generally only the aristocratic class becomes entertainers.
Recently, she also attracted attention due to dating rumors with Fr?d?ric Arnault, the third son of Bernard Arnault, chairman of the luxury brand LVMH (Louis Vuitton Mo?t Hennessy), who alternates between the world's richest and second richest positions. Both Lisa and Fr?d?ric Arnault have not made any particular statements regarding the dating rumors.
