Jungkook Praised & Lisa Criticized: Same Stage yet Contrasting Reactions 

Recently, BLACKPINK’s Lisa faced significant backlash for lip-syncing during her performance at the 2024 Global Citizen Festival in New York. Although she showcased her talents in singing and dancing, viewers criticized her for repeatedly relying on lip-syncing, a practice frowned upon at major international events. On X (formerly Twitter), netizens expressed disappointment, even labeling her the “queen of lip-syncing”.

Below are some comments 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 contrast, BTS’s Jungkook’s 2023 Global Citizen performance is being praised and revisited. In September 2023, Jungkook became the first K-pop solo idol to perform at this festival. He performed live with a band, showcasing his all-rounder abilities in singing, rapping, and dancing, which solidified his status as a global pop star.

While Jungkook received widespread acclaim, Lisa’s performance sparked debate about her readiness for a solo pop career, with many suggesting she needs to improve her live vocals to gain full public approval. Despite support from her fans, Lisa’s skills as a solo artist remain under scrutiny.
