BLACKPINK Lisa’s Live Singing Performance Ignites Discussion Following Lip Sync Claims
BLACKPINK’s Lisa is facing lip-sync controversy again.
The latest buzz started after Lisa’s surprise performance of “Dream” at BLACKPINK’s recent Tokyo concert on January 16, 2026. It was the first time she performed “Dream” on tour, having debuted it at Coachella 2025.
Fans noticed Lisa stood and moved around the stage this time, unlike her mostly sitting performance at Coachella. Still, lip-sync accusations resurfaced.
BLACKPINK are wrapping up their Deadline world tour with a three-night Tokyo run. Lisa’s solo stages usually stick to a set list, so this unexpected track caught attention fast.
Many fans quickly came to her defense online, arguing she’s so good that sometimes people mistake her performance for lip-sync.
“The way she performs is why people think she’s lip-syncing, but it’s the opposite.” – fan comment
Tweets poured in sharing clips and photos from Tokyo, clearly hyped about Lisa’s live energy and stage presence.

BLACKPINK closes the Deadline tour shortly, and fans can expect more standout performances.
