K-netizens React to BLACKPINK’s Lisa Removing K-pop Elements Controversy

The writer remarked, “She resembles a Thai singer attempting to replicate K-pop. I have never posted a critique of Lisa in the past. This is simply my sincere viewpoint after viewing the music video. Perhaps my expectations were too lofty. The music and style she presented after ‘Money’ are incredibly underwhelming. This project fails to highlight any of Lisa’s strengths. While Southeast Asian fans may adore the Thai-inspired Lisa, those in other regions may be greatly let down. Personally, I was a huge fan of the styles showcased in ‘Kill This Love’, ‘Ddu-Du Ddu-Du’, and ‘Lovesick Girls’.”

As of the afternoon of June 29th, this post has garnered nearly 100,000 views and has become a popular topic of discussion. Here are some comments from Korean netizens.

As soon as Lisa starts her solo career, the fans with extreme behavior start showing up, haha. Do they have such a strong desire for her to do well?

– This time, Lisa is solely taking charge, incorporating her identity into the MV and song. I have also heard about a collaboration scheduled for August and an album release in October.

Although it may not have broad appeal, I didn’t consider it to be bad.

– YG has been successful thus far; they played a significant role in positioning BLACKPINK to where they are now.

– If she didn’t have any K-pop influence, she would be perceived as just another foreigner.
