K-pop girl group Blackpink's Lisa has revealed that her fortunes might have been very different if she had stuck with her birth name.

The 24-year-old, who is of Thai descent and grew up in Thailand, was named Pranpriya Manobal, meaning beloved soul, when she was born but changed it to Lalisa on the advice of a fortune teller when she was about 13.
