After BLACKPINK ended their individual contracts with YG Entertainment, Lisa actively pursued her solo career, continuously releasing new music. In 2024, he released three singles: “Rockstar”, “New Woman” and “Moonlit Floor”.
Despite achieving notable success on the music charts and receiving recognition with the Best Kpop award at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards (VMA), Lisa continues to face controversy, including accusations that she can’t write songs, has silly lyrics, being accused of copying ideas, and in particular of lacking the ability to sing live.
The most publicized incident involved BLACKPINK’s youngest member accused of lip-syncing during performances at the 2024 VMAs and Global Citizen Festival. She was also criticized for similar reasons in the official performance video for her new song “Moonlit Floor”, released on October 9.
Lisa and her management company have not directly responded to these allegations. However, fans believe that the 1997-born idol has a more convincing way of responding.
On October 15, the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show returned after many years of hiatus. In addition to supermodels and lingerie angels, the event featured performances by famous artists, including Lisa. The Thai beauty turned the catwalk into a musical stage with her hits “Rockstar” and “Moonlit Floor.” After the show, fans enthusiastically shared videos of Lisa’s performances, pointing out signs that she was actually singing live.
According to netizens, Lisa’s voice trembled slightly at the beginning of “Moonlit Floor”. The gentle background music also allowed the audience to clearly hear the singer’s real voice.
Public comments included: “Did you all hear clearly?”, “Lisa is perfect; there is nothing to criticize”, “Nothing can be more direct than that”, “Did you hear that? It’s his voice that takes over the stage,” “No need to explain to the haters. Let’s just enjoy the amazing performance of our idol. Nobody can do what she does. She set the standard for opening this show and we are proud of her”, “It feels like heaven”, “The haters will keep hating, but our Lisa is too classy”…
Many opinions suggest that Lisa’s appearance brought more attention to the lingerie show (over 14.7 million views within 18 hours of its premiere on YouTube). Furthermore, the Asian star somewhat overshadowed the 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, which was 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 will participate in Rolling Stone magazine’s “Musicians on Musicians” program with Tyla on October 17 (Korean time).
