BLACKPINK, KPOP Fans Want Lisa Kicked Out of Girl Group For 'Tarnishing' Their Reputation

Two months have gone by since Lisa of BLACKPINK's show at the Crazy Horse Paris, but critical reviews continue to arise from both China and Korea.

It is noteworthy that her Weibo account and her fan club's page seem to have suddenly disappeared, leading people to question whether she has been "deleted" from the Chinese entertainment scene, per Netizenbuzz.

Amidst the rising tensions, Korean netizens took to Naver to voice their opinions about Lisa's recent bookings. Unsurprisingly, many strongly disapproved of her decision to take part in such an event at the Parisian cabaret Crazy Horse.

There were calls to have Lisa removed from BLACKPINK in order to protect the group's standing and the image of K-pop idols as a whole.

Although there is some excitement surrounding BLACKPINK's potential for success, many Korean netizens are worried about what the future holds for the group in light of Lisa's possible ban in China.

It is widely believed that a great portion of their concert sales, album sales and sponsorship deals with luxury brands depend on their ability to promote their music and image in the Chinese market.

As such, should they be denied access to this area, YG Entertainment could experience severe financial losses. Outrage has been expressed in response to Lisa's topless dancing, as no public apologies have been made.

Rather than addressing the controversy, it is said that she has "challenged" it through her personal page. The conclusion of Lisa's stint at Crazy Horse was commemorated with a collection of snaps, captioned simply as "Call me in case you need to fill an empty space."

Criticism Directed Towards BLACKPINK Lisa's Topless Dancing

Netizens had strong opinions regarding the performance, per Naver:

One person said, "This act was truly egregious, sullying the image of K-pop. No respectable Korean idol would ever do such a thing in an inappropriate environment."

Another KPOP fan said, "It should serve as a lesson to all Korean idols that they must avoid cheap attempts to gain attention through provocative behavior. For example, Hwasa should rely on her singing capabilities without exploiting her body."

A third person questioned, "Who would have guessed that an idol with such longevity in the business could take to the stage for a strip tease," while a fourth person made a comparison, "Jennie and Lisa are being put into some dubious situations, yet they are blessed with great songs and recognition. Does this mean they no longer care about their reputation?"
Others are calling for Lisa to get kicked out of BLACKPINK.

One person commented, "Let's get rid of her immediately, now she's dating that CEO I bet she has gone off the rails," while another wrote, "We should avoid hiring any foreign trainees and concentrate on groups made up purely of Koreans, like BTS."

A third person angrily said, "BLACKPINK's reputation is being tarnished, so it's time for her to leave. We don't need a Lisa making them look bad."
