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.



Thailand designates the second Saturday of January every year as Children's Day and holds various events. Originally, Children's Day in Thailand was in October, but since it is a rainy season then, it was moved to January when the weather is better.
