Fans were thrilled when BLACKPINK's Lisa observed a Korean tradition on her birthday by enjoying a Korean birthday meal that included Miyeok-Guk, or seaweed soup. Lisa, who turned 28 on March 27, spent her special day with friends and shared photos of her celebrations, showing gratitude for their birthday wishes. Among the images posted was one of Lisa relishing the traditional Korean dish of seaweed soup. In South Korea, consuming seaweed soup on one's birthday is a custom with deep roots. Originally, the practice began with postpartum mothers eating miyeok-guk for its nutritional benefits in aiding recovery after childbirth. Over time, this tradition has expanded to birthdays, serving as a way to honor mothers and express appreciation for giving life. Seaweed soup is believed to bring good health and longevity, making it a significant dish for birthdays. Korean fans of BLACKPINK admire Lisa for embracing Korean culture during her 15 years of living in South Korea. They expressed their love for Lisa and her affection for Korean traditions, including her choice of birthday meal. Fans praised her cultural involvement and showed enthusiasm for her connection to Korean practices.
