BLACKPINK’s Lisa had a blast in Tokyo, Japan!
On March 7, Lisa shared on Instagram stories that she went to Ichikawa City Zoo in the Chiba Prefecture to visit the internet’s current viral sensation, a macaque named Punch.

In the stories she shared, Lisa was wearing a gray hoodie, jeans, a white beanie, and the biggest smile on her face as she showed off a matching stuffed toy to Punch.
Punch is a seven-month-old macaque that became viral for his endearing attachment to a large orangutan stuffed toy. This led to a surge of visitors to the zoo since February 2026.

Oh nooooo I can literally hear Lisa’s voice in my head like—
“Punch… Punch! Hello, I’m Lisa. I know you! You’re so cute. Please live longer because everyone loves you, Punch.” 😭 https://t.co/OkL029BC5a
