BLACKPINK member Lisa ranked number 17 on YouGov's "World's Most Admired" list in the women's category.

Lisa is one of four new additions to the 2021 list. The other three are Liu Yifei, Yang Mi and Jacinda Ardern.
The list is determined by gathering open-ended nominations from panelists across 38 countries and territories in the Spring of this year. With that, YouGov then compiled a list of 20 men and 20 women who received the most nominated and were nominated in at least four countries.

During summer and autumn, YouGov conducted fieldwork. With the list of nominees, YouGov would ask respondents "Who do you truly admire?" where respondents can pick several nominees, and "Who do you most admire?" where respondents can only pick one. The two numbers were combined into a percentage share of admiration.

Their way of determining who is most admires takes into consideration the breadth of global reach and the intensity of the person's support. YouGov polled in countries that constitute more than seven-tenths of the world's population. All the surveys were conducted online.
