Lisa also shared insights about her new management company, LLOUD, which is backing her bold visions in music and entertainment. The 27-year-old revealed that she previously struggled with expressing her workplace preferences, as she feared making others uncomfortable. However, she now values clear communication, a change that initiated around the time of her 2021 solo release, LALISA.

“Initially, I found it hard to state my feelings clearly. I was worried that I might make others uncomfortable. But in the end, nobody was satisfied with the outcome. So, I realized it’s essential to convey my opinions for impressive results. Everyone here is a professional,” she reflected.

The Thai artist is also preparing for her debut solo performance at the Global Citizen Festival and is working on her long-awaited full-length album.
