Before that, some fans also saw Lisa chilling with friends, including manager Alice Kang, on Koh Samui island, a famous tourist island in Surat Thani province, according to Thailand’s Teenee site.
The location where Lisa checked in is said to be Bophut beach located in the north of Koh Samui island, Thailand.

Members of the Blackpink group chose to sit on the airy porch. The restaurant is known for its vibrant atmosphere, delicious food, impressive cocktails, and nightly fire show.
