After BLACKPINK ended their individual contracts with YG Entertainment, Lisa has been actively pursuing her solo career, continuously releasing new music. In 2024, she launched three singles: “Rockstar,” “New Woman,” and “Moonlit Floor.”
Despite achieving remarkable success on music charts and receiving recognition with the Best Kpop award at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs), Lisa continues to face controversy, including accusations of not knowing how to write songs, having silly lyrics, being accused of copying ideas, and particularly of lacking live singing ability.
The most publicized incident involved the youngest member of BLACKPINK being accused of lip-syncing during performances at the 2024 VMAs and the Global Citizen Festival. She was also criticized for similar reasons in the official performance video of her new song “Moonlit Floor,” released on October 9.
Lisa and her management company have not directly responded to these accusations. However, fans believe that the 1997-born idol has a more convincing way to respond.
On October 15, the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show returned after many years of hiatus. In addition to top models and lingerie angels, the event featured performances from popular artists, including Lisa. The Thai beauty turned the catwalk into a music stage with her hits “Rockstar” and “Moonlit Floor.” After the show, fans eagerly shared videos of Lisa’s performances, pointing out signs that she was indeed singing live.
According to netizens, Lisa’s voice trembled slightly at the start of “Moonlit Floor.” The gentle background music also allowed the audience to clearly hear the singer’s real voice.
Audience comments included: “Did you all hear that clearly?”, “Lisa is perfect; there’s nothing to criticize,” “Nothing can be more direct than this,” “Did you hear? That’s her voice taking over the stage,” “No need to explain to the haters. Let’s just enjoy our idol’s stunning performance. No one can do what she does. She set the standard for this show’s opening, and we are proud of her,” “It feels like being in heaven,” “Haters will still hate, but our Lisa is too classy”…
Many opinions suggest that Lisa’s appearance drew more attention to the lingerie show (over 14.7 million views within 18 hours of its YouTube premiere). Moreover, the Asian star somewhat overshadowed the 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, which has been criticized as the most boring ever. Not only her singing and dancing but also her powerful catwalk and sexy appearance have become trending topics on social media.
After her success at the Victoria’s Secret show, Lisa is scheduled to participate in Rolling Stone magazine’s “Musicians on Musicians” program with Tyla on October 17 (Korean time).
