BLACKPINK member Lisa’s new drama receiving criticism for discriminatory content?

On August 5 (KST), HBO released a teaser and multiple still images for the upcoming third season of “The White Lotus”, which will include BLACKPINK’s Lisa as a cast member.

Despite Lisa not making an appearance in this new teaser yet, excitement is already at an all-time high. However, in addition to high expectations, “The White Lotus” is currently receiving significant backlash.

It is evident that the latest teaser for “The White Lotus”features a prominent yellow filter, a color commonly associated with Hollywood’s representation of “third-world countries”and is believed to perpetuate discriminatory connotations.

The choice to use a yellow filter in the new season, set in Thailand, perpetuates the stereotype of portraying the country as “underdeveloped”and “dirty”.

This leads to a number of netizens expressing their dissatisfaction with the color grading, using platforms like Twitter to call out HBO through multiple posts on social media.

Despite this, there are still those who remain optimistic and hold onto the belief that the filter will not be implemented in the final series.
