BIGBANG’s Taeyang Dishes On BLACKPINK Lisa’s YG Audition

Taeyang says he always knew Lisa is going to be a star. The BIGBANG vocalist revealed that he was present when the BLACKPINK maknae auditioned for YG Entertainment. He then confirmed that his “Shooong!” collaborator was destined for greatness.

Taeyang Shares Details on Lisa’s Audition for YG Entertainment

Taeyang was recently a guest on SBS Power FM’s “Cultwo Show” where he promoted his latest album ‘Down To Earth’. During the interview, Dong Youngbae was praised for the success of “Shoong! (feat. LISA of BLACKPINK)”. The vocalist humbly thanked the host and credited Lalisa Manoban as well.

“Thankfully, I achieved good results by collaborating with Lisa, thank you for helping me,“ he said.

He then admitted that he was present when a young Lisa auditioned for their agency YG Entertainment.

“I didn’t intend to be there. When I was working in the studio, I heard that someone from Thailand came to audition,” Taeyang shared. “After finishing working, I went down and observed the audition.”

“I don’t remember exactly, but she was an elementary or middle school student back then. She came from Thailand alone, so I felt a little bitter,” he added. “I remember the song she sang, ‘Baby,’ by Justin Bieber. As soon as I heard Lisa sing I knew right away that this young lady would be big in the industry in the future.

The BIGBANG singer continued by expressing his joy that he got to collaborate with Lisa on his new album.

“I feel excited somehow because that girl is doing amazing, she really has a name in the industry,” Taeyang said. “I’m not just talking about her fame in Korea I mean globally. I’m glad to witness her success and see her succeed.”

Lisa and the rest of BLACKPINK recently headlined COACHELLA 2023 over two weekends. The group is also on the road for the BORN PINK World Tour which announced encore shows in North America.
