BLACKPINK's Lisa, the renowned K-Pop sensation, has once again made headlines, this time for her impressive social media influence. The 26-year-old idol has secured a spot in Hopper HQ's "2023 Instagram Rich List," making her the sole K-Pop artist to grace the list.
Lisa, with her Instagram handle @lalalalisa_m, boasts a staggering 95.8 million followers. This massive following translates to an estimated earning of $575,000 per post, placing her at the 26th position among the top 50 of the 100 personalities featured. Her inclusion is a testament to her global appeal and the power of K-Pop in the digital age.
While Lisa is the only K-Pop idol on the list, she isn't the sole representative from South Korea. Actor Lee Min-ho, known for his role in "Boys Over Flowers," ranks 55th with a cost per post of $200,000 on his account, which has 33.3 million followers. Additionally, actress Song Hye-kyo, star of "The Glory," occupies the 93rd spot, earning $100,000 per post from her 16.6 million followers.
Lisa's Instagram prowess doesn't stop at her earnings. She also holds the Guinness World Record for the most-followed K-Pop star on the platform. As of March 24, 2023, she had amassed 90,739,796 followers, surpassing any other K-Pop act and even outdoing many international musicians outside the Americas.
Beyond her social media achievements, Lisa is set to receive another accolade. She is among the seven music inductees for the "Asian Hall of Fame Class 2023." This recognition is for her significant contributions to Asian culture and society. The induction ceremony, scheduled for October 21st in Biltmore, LA, will see Lisa becoming the first K-Pop idol to be honored in this manner.
The Asian Hall of Fame, established by the Robert Chinn Foundation in 2004, aims to elevate Asian leaders in areas where they are underrepresented. This year, the foundation will honor 20 inductees from various sectors, including business, government, and entertainment. The festivities will kick off with the Seattle Founders Gala on September 29, leading up to the main Induction Ceremony in October.
Lisa's achievements, both on and off social media, underscore her influence and the growing global impact of K-Pop. As she continues to break records and set new standards, fans worldwide eagerly await her next move.
