BLACKPINK’s Lisa goes viral for using a $2 Daiso mug despite her $900K Instagram value

Lisa of BLACKPINK is drawing attention for showing off a surprisingly humble side despite her massive global fame and staggering social media value.

On May 17, Lisa uploaded a photo to her social media account enjoying a relaxing tea time while reading the novel ‘Pachinko’. While fans admired her effortless visuals, it was the cup in her hand that unexpectedly stole the spotlight.

The Minnie Mouse character mug Lisa used was revealed to be a budget-friendly item sold at Daiso for just 2,000 KRW (around 1.50 USD).

According to British data analytics company Hopper HQ, Lisa’s Instagram posts are estimated to be worth around $620,000 USD each thanks to her more than 100 million followers worldwide.

The contrast between her luxury-star status and her affordable everyday item quickly sparked buzz online. Fans reacted with comments such as, “She’s even more likable because she’s so down-to-earth,” and “I thought it was a luxury brand because Lisa was using it.”

Beyond her relatable charm, Lisa continues to dominate professionally as well. She is set to perform at the opening ceremony of the 2026 FIFA World Cup in North America this June.

After recently partnering with FIFA, Lisa is expected to share the stage with global stars including Katy Perry and Futureat SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, further cementing her status as a global K-pop queen.
