CANTIKA.COM, Jakarta - Lisa Blackpink successfully held a Fan Meetup event at Beach City International Stadium, Ancol, Jakarta on Friday night, November 15, 2024. In addition to singing several songs, she also shared various surprising things with her fans, Lilies.
The fan meeting event resembling a concert was delayed by 50 minutes. Fans who had filled the venue since the afternoon patiently waited for Lisa to take the stage.
If according to the schedule, the event should have started at 7:00 PM local time, but the national anthem 'Indonesia Raya' which is usually played before the concert started resonated at 7:50 PM. During the nearly one-hour wait, the audience was presented with non-stop Lisa's songs.
Nevertheless, Lilies' wait finally paid off with Lisa slowly emerging from under the stage with a hydraulic system. The Thai singer opened her performance with the song 'Lalisa,' which is also the title of her solo single album in 2021.
The song is very meaningful for Lisa as it marks her solo debut and won the Best K-Pop award at the MTV Video Music Awards 2022.

Lisa appeared wearing a metallic red outfit with a short black skirt, accompanied by several dancers. The spotlight, fireworks, and bursts of fire around the stage made her stage performance even more festive. Not only 'Lalisa,' she also presented the songs 'Moonlit Floor,' 'Money,' 'New Woman,' and 'Rockstar'.
Interaction between Lisa and Host Indra Herlambang
In addition to Lisa, the presence of Indonesia's famous TV presenter Indra Herlambang as the host was also enthusiastically welcomed by the audience. As known, Indra Herlambang has often hosted Korean artists' events in Indonesia and undeniably became a favorite of K-pop fans in the country.
The 48-year-old man deliberately wore a suit and yellow socks, Lisa's favorite color. The singer named Lalisa Manobal appreciated Indra Herlambang's dedication that successfully caught her attention.

Indra Herlambang livened up the atmosphere by discussing Lisa's new project in the acting world, learning Lisa's pose style, and showing his yellow socks. "Do you want (yellow socks)? I will buy them. Don't take these because they smell, I've been wearing them for two days," joked Indra Herlambang, making Lisa laugh.
Before saying goodbye, Indra Herlambang once again praised Lisa and said it was the best day of his life. Lisa then hugged Indra Herlambang on stage. "Speechless. I haven't been able to sleep since last night because of this... Now, the dilemma, should I shower or not?" wrote Indra Herlambang about the moment he was hugged by Lisa on Instagram on Saturday, November 16, 2024.
Lisa Tastes Rendang
In the 'Welcome Lisa' session, the woman born on March 27, 1997, was served Indonesian traditional food, rendang. Lisa immediately sensed the strong aroma of rendang. She was confused about the proper way to eat rendang.
"Should I eat it directly like this? Without rice?" said Lisa. Indra Herlambang then explained that the typical dish from West Sumatra is usually consumed with hot rice. Intrigued by Indra's statement, Lisa then tried to mention "hot rice" in Indonesian.

Not saying much after tasting rendang, Lisa made Indra Herlambang worried. "Is this too spicy for you?" Indra said before giving her a bottle of mineral water. "Is there black pepper in this? The sauce is very strong," said Lisa.
However, this did not stop Lisa from eating rendang. She started scooping again and seemed to enjoy the beef-based dish even more.
Unique Costumes at Lisa's Fan Meetup
Lisa held a competition that could be joined by fans who purchased Big Diamond category tickets in the 'Red Carpet' session. Five lucky people with the most unique and matching yellow-themed costumes were selected. They were all called on stage to show their outfits to Lisa.
All of them wore ornaments that were identical to Lisa, such as stars, wings, and even Thai-style clothing like in music videos. They all received a signed album from Lisa, while one winner chosen by the audience got the chance to take a photo with Lisa using a polaroid camera.

"I was inspired by Lisa's 'Lalisa' music video, with a gold nuance, but I added a twist to include an Indonesian touch with wings to make it more dramatic," said Giming, the best costume winner, as quoted from Antara.
Additionally, Lisa also randomly distributed other special prizes to the present audience in the form of t-shirts. She threw three neatly packaged shirts to the audience seating area around the stage.
Lisa Talks about New Album
Interestingly, Lisa also revealed details about her new album in the 'Lilies or Truths' session, resembling a truth or dare game. Firstly, Lisa picked a black ball, indicating she had to do a challenge, which was to pose funny or sweet three times.
Next, Lisa took a white ball containing a question where she had to answer honestly. Lisa was asked to mention a song that is currently in her playlist. "A song from my (new) album. I can't say it now. I have been listening to that song continuously," said Lisa.
To slightly satisfy the audience's curiosity, Indra Herlambang asked Lisa to perform a movement or choreography that represents the song. After getting permission from her team, Lisa proceeded to do it. She nodded her head back and forth, hinting that her new song is a rock genre.
