BLACKPINK’s Lisa has been named to the Top 20 of the World’s Most Admired Women list by British research organization YouGov, citing another outstanding achievement of 2021. This achievement adds to the BLACKPINK member’s impressive list of accomplishments since she is the only female K-pop idol on the list.
Lisa, a Thai rapper from BLACKPINK, is one of six new women named to the World’s Most Admired list in 2021. YouGov is a global internet-based marketing and data analytics company located in the United Kingdom. The company publishes a top 20 list of the world’s most admired people every year.
