Recently, BLACKPINK’s Lisa encountered considerable criticism for her lip-syncing during her performance at the 2024 Global Citizen Festival held in New York. Despite her impressive skills in singing and dancing, viewers voiced their disapproval over her frequent reliance on lip-syncing—a practice typically looked down upon at major international events. On X (formerly Twitter), netizens shared their disappointment, with some even dubbing her the “queen of lip-syncing.”
Here are some reactions from netizens:
- If she’s going to lip-sync that much, she should at least practice lip-syncing better. It’s embarrassing.
- Her rap is fine, but her vocals are weak… She wasn’t singing at all in the middle, yet there was sound.
- If you’re going to lip-sync, at least do it well.
In stark contrast, BTS’s Jungkook’s 2023 Global Citizen performance has drawn praise and continues to be revisited. In September 2023, Jungkook made history as the first K-pop solo idol to perform at this prestigious festival. He captivated the audience by performing live with a band, showcasing his diverse skills in singing, rapping, and dancing, which reinforced his status as a global pop sensation.
While Jungkook earned widespread appreciation, Lisa’s performance ignited discussions regarding her readiness for a solo pop career. Many critics suggest that she needs to enhance her live vocal performances to achieve full public approval. Although her fans provide support, Lisa’s capabilities as a solo artist are still facing scrutiny.
