The Swiss chef, often affectionately called Master Chef Macro, is widely recognized as the stepfather of BLACKPINK’s Lisa — or more precisely, Lalisa Manoban. He entered the public eye not just for his culinary expertise but also due to his close family ties with one of K-pop’s biggest stars. The chef married Chitthip Brüschweiler, who is the mother of Lalisa, making him an important figure in her personal life. Before all the fame and media attention, he built a solid foundation in the world of fine dining by graduating from the prestigious Swiss Hotel Management School — an institution renowned for shaping leaders in luxury hospitality.

As Master Chef Macro, he brought his refined skills into the spotlight when he appeared on the reality series Blackpink House. In one heartwarming episode filmed in Thailand, he and Lisa’s mother surprised the band members with a thoughtful homemade meal, showcasing both his talent and familial warmth. It was a touching moment that highlighted the bond between Lisa and her family.

Interestingly, his stepdaughter was originally named Pranpriya Manoban at birth, but later changed her name to Lalisa — a name now known to millions of fans worldwide. Through his connection with Lalisa, the Swiss chef has become a quietly influential presence behind the scenes, supporting his stepdaughter while maintaining a legacy of excellence in the culinary arts. Whether it’s through his professional background or his role in Lisa’s life, Master Chef Macro continues to leave a lasting impression.
