YG's New Thai Talent: Eyes on Baby Monster's Pharita amid uncertainty around BLACKPINK Lisa's contract renewal

AKP STAFF

The exclusive contract that ties BLACKPINK to YG Entertainment has reached its expiration back in August. However, a concrete announcement regarding a renewal has yet to be made.

The uncertainty is fueling speculation within certain circles, suggesting it may pose quite a challenge acquiring a renewal, primarily as Lisa, a key member of BLACKPINK, commands an impressive open market value estimated at around 100 billion KRW (~74.5 million USD).


While fans worldwide eagerly await news about BLACKPINK's future with YG Entertainment, the attention is gradually shifting towards the company's up-and-coming girl g,roup Baby Monsters. Often dubbed as BLACKPINK's sister group, Baby Monsters has a total of seven members: Korean members Haram, Ahyeon, and Rora, Thai members Pharita and Chikita, and Japanese members Ruka and Asa.

Each member of Baby Monsters possesses unique charm and talent. However, Pharita, a Thai member born in 2005, genuinely stands out. Pharita's rise to fame materialized after she astoundingly passed the YG audition in 2020 amidst rigorous competition, reportedly with a ratio of 1226 to 1. She is said to have top talent and visual aesthetics.


She has been garnering much attention for her youthful charm, fair skin, and flowing hair, paired with her unique vocals and talent as an artist. Even YG Entertainment's vocal trainer has taken note of her abilities, stating, "She is someone with innate talent," heaping praise on the young starlet.

With another talented Thai trainee emerging after BLACKPINK's Lisa, internet users have shown enthusiastic responses. Netizens have expressed their anticipations, voicing their hopes such as "I look forward to the future" and "I hope she becomes the second Lisa."

YG was blatant about wanting clones of Jennie and Lisa for Babymonster. He was open about it.
