EXCLUSIVE / Lisa landed in Kaohsiung on a private plane! A flight can cost upwards of NT$3.8 million
BLACKPINK member Lisa will fly to Kaohsiung Arena for her “LISA Fan Meetup – Kaohsiung” on November 17. She will use a private jet for this trip, which costs around $120,000 (approximately NT$3.8 million) for a round trip between South Korea and Taiwan. This time, her team is split into two groups, likely increasing costs.
In the past, BLACKPINK traveled to Taiwan by private jet. The prices for such flights usually return around $120,000 for a trip with up to 13 passengers, but costs may vary based on distance. In comparison, other private flights, like those for AMD Su, can reach up to $600,000 (about NT$19 million) depending on different airport fees.
Lisa will perform in Jakarta before her Kaohsiung appearance and still has tickets available for purchase via KKTIX.
Lisa was the first BLACKPINK member to visit Taiwan alone. She was born on March 27, 1997, in Buriram Province, Thailand. After moving to Bangkok, she became interested in singing and dancing. At a young age, she trained with members of Thai groups GOT7 and NCT.

As BLACKPINK member Lisa prepares for her highly anticipated “LISA Fan Meetup – Kaohsiung” on November 17, fans are buzzing with excitement, especially with the revelation that she will be flying via a private jet for this event. To gain further insights into the logistics and costs associated with such travel, we spoke with David Chen, a travel and entertainment specialist.
Q: Can you tell us about the cost implications of flying a private jet for such events?
David Chen: Certainly. The use of private jets in the entertainment industry has become quite common, especially for international artists like Lisa. For her round trip from South Korea to Taiwan, the cost is approximately $120,000, or about NT$3.8 million. This expense typically covers the aircraft and crew for a flight carrying up to 13 passengers. However, it’s important to note that costs can vary based on distance, specific airport fees, and the specifics of the travel itinerary.
Q: Lisa’s team is reportedly split into two groups for this trip. How does that affect overall expenses?
David Chen: Splitting the team likely increases costs significantly. Each group may require their own private jet, which doubles the travel expenses. Beyond the basic flight cost, there can also be additional fees related to ground transportation and accommodations, not to mention logistical challenges that arise with coordinating multiple groups.
Q: How does Lisa’s travel compare with other artists, say AMD Su’s flights?
David Chen: That’s a great question. While Lisa’s trip would cost around $120,000 for a round trip, private flights for other artists can escalate quickly. For instance, AMD Su’s flights can reach up to $600,000, largely influenced by varying airport fees and the size of the aircraft needed for larger crews or additional luxuries.
Q: Looking ahead, how does Lisa’s solo career and recent moves with LLOUD create opportunities for such events?
David Chen: Lisa’s establishment of her own company, LLOUD, in February allows for greater creative control and possibly more personalized events for her fanbase. By diversifying her income streams through solo projects and partnerships, she can invest in high-quality fan experiences like the upcoming meetup. Moreover, leveraging her success since BLACKPINK’s debut keeps her in high demand, justifying the expense of private travel for events that are meaningful to her and her fans.
Q: how significant is Lisa’s upcoming concert in Kaohsiung for her solo career?
David Chen: This performance marks her first solo concert in Taiwan since March 2023, making it a landmark event for her local fanbase. It presents a unique opportunity for her to showcase her growth as an artist apart from BLACKPINK while also reinforcing her connection to fans in Taiwan. The anticipation surrounding this meetup and concert will undoubtedly further cement her status as a leading solo act in the industry.
Conclusion:
As Lisa embarks on this significant journey to Kaohsiung, the logistics and costs involved illustrate the dedication and effort that goes into providing fans with unforgettable experiences. With her growing influence in the music industry, Lisa’s journey is one to watch closely as she continues to evolve both as a member of BLACKPINK and as a solo artist. Fans can look forward to not just the music, but the magic that comes from her commitment to connecting with them.
