Lisa’s Director Faces Backlash for Alleged Shade Toward BLACKPINK Members

BLACKPINK is facing backlash after a shady Instagram post from Lisa’s creative director stirred controversy online.

The drama started when Emily Jang, creative director at Lisa’s company LLOUD, shared a screenshot of a private chat. In it, she sent a photo of Lisa’s 2026 Met Gala look and received a response saying:

She’s the only one that understood the assignment.

Emily then posted this message publicly, sparking strong reactions from BLACKPINK fans.

Fans quickly called out the post as a direct dig at Jisoo, Rosé, and Jennie. Many slammed it as unprofessional, especially coming from someone on Lisa’s team.

I’m confused aren’t you supposed to be her creative director ………? Posting shade towards her members

Others pointed out how dismissive the comment was toward the other members’ efforts and looks.

At this point Rosé is the only one who doesn’t have problematic team. So grad she’s surrounded by professional ones

The controversy came right after BLACKPINK’s big night at the 2026 Met Gala, where all four members attended for the first time. While fans loved most of the event, this post cast a shadow over the celebration.
