Lisa, the Thai member of the Korean group “BLACKPINK”, boasts over 100 million IG followers. According to UK social media analytics firm Hopper HQ, each of her posts holds a commercial value as high as 930 million KRW (about 2.45 million MYR), making her one of the world’s top-earning female stars. However, she recently shared that while reading the novel Pachinko by Korean-American author Min Jin Lee, she was using a Minnie Mouse mug from Korea’s DAISO, priced at only 2,000 KRW (about 5.2 MYR). This stark contrast wowed fans, who exclaimed, “Anything Lisa uses looks like a luxury item!”
On the 17th, Lisa posted on IG showing a relaxing afternoon, reading Pachinko and enjoying tea time. Yet fans were fixated on the Minnie Mouse cup in her hand. After investigation, they discovered the cup was from Korea’s DAISO, priced at only 2,000 KRW—a very affordable everyday item. The post immediately sparked discussion online. Many joked, “I thought it was some kind of luxury brand collaboration.” Others commented, “With Lisa holding it, DAISO instantly turns into a high-end label.” Even with her astonishing net worth, Lisa still uses affordable everyday items privately, enamoring even more fans with her “contrast” appeal—prompting shouts of, “The richer, the more down-to-earth!”
