BLACKPINK's Lisa delighted fans by embracing a Korean tradition on her birthday, enjoying a Korean birthday meal featuring Miyeok-Guk (seaweed soup).

On March 27, Lisa celebrated her 28th birthday and spent time with her close friends. On March 28, she shared various photos of what she did on her birthday, including all the birthday wishes she received from her close friends.

In particular, one photo revealed Lisa enjoying a traditional Korean birthday meal with seaweed soup. 

In South Korea, eating seaweed soup on one’s birthday is a long-standing tradition. The practice stems from postpartum mothers consuming miyeok-guk for its rich nutrients, which aid recovery after childbirth. Over time, this custom extended to birthdays as a way of honoring mothers and expressing gratitude for giving birth. The soup is believed to bring good health and longevity, making it a staple birthday dish.

BLACKPINK fans in Korea love how Lisa has embraced the Korean culture while living in South Korea for over 15 years. They commented:
