South-East Asians have been making their mark in K-pop girl groups of late, like those from Thailand (Blackpink’s Lisa, I-dle’s Minnie, Babymonster’s Pharita and Chiquita, Kiss of Life’s Natty), the Philippines (Katseye’s Sophia, Unis’ Elisia and Gehlee) and Indonesia (Hearts2Hearts’ Carmen, Secret Number’s Dita).
Now, Malaysia also has a female K-pop idol to call its own.
