For those who are fans of the K-pop girl group BLACKPINK, we know you are all aware of your favorite member's background, and we all know that one member, Lisa is from Thailand. That explains why she isn't very fluent in speaking the Korean language.
Though she was not born in South Korea, Lisa has been practicing speaking the native language, which has improved a lot. Do you wonder how she studies the Korean language, and how does he improves it?
On the October 17th episode of JTBC's Ask Us Anything, the cast members asked Lisa how she improves her Korean day by day, to which she revealed that she learns Korean by watching K-dramas.

And ever after a few years, Lisa's love for Gong Yoo hasn't faded.
In the show, Lisa expressed her desire to take a photo with Gong Yoo and begged Seo Jang Hoon to help make her wish come true. However, it looks like Lisa's wish is beyond Seo Jang Hoon's abilities.

Though Lisa admitted that it was quite difficult to make, everyone in the show was reluctant to believe her. Lisa concluded by sharing that she's not the only person in her family that likes Gong Yoo since her mother is also the number one fan of the actor!
