BLACKPINK Jisoo’s Bold Transformation Faces Harsh Backlash

BLACKPINK Jisoo is facing backlash over a recent dramatic makeup transformation by YouTuber Risabae.

The controversy began after Jisoo appeared on Risabae’s YouTube channel for a makeover. Fans got to see Jisoo’s bare face, revealing her natural visuals. Then, Risabae gave her a whimsical, fairytale-like look that many did not expect.

Soon after, netizens criticized Risabae. Some said Jisoo looked worse after the makeover and that Risabae applies the same style of makeup on every idol, ignoring their unique features. Fans also argued that Jisoo looked better before, with some doubting Risabae’s makeup skills.

They pointed out patchiness and sameness in Risabae’s makeup style:

“But people have been saying lately that Risabae’s makeup looks patchy. Whether it suits the face or not is a secondary issue, but if it’s patchy, isn’t that a problem with the makeup skill itself? Was she always this bad at base makeup?”

“Since some point, all of Risabae’s makeup started looking the same. The makeup she does on herself and the makeup she does on others all feel very similar.”

More comments hit hard:

“Oh, she kind of looks like i-dle’s Miyeon.”

“She actually looks prettier before the makeup…?”

“It’s like that ‘overseas Korean makeup’ that was trending earlier, making the eyes look smaller than usual and making her look older… (I know the makeup itself is different though). If she entered that makeup survival show she judged as a contestant, she’d probably get eliminated in rounds 1–2…”
