BLACKPINK Lisa’s “Hate Train” Connection To Sakaguchi Kentaro Sparks Additional Controversy Over Netflix Post

BLACKPINK’s Lisa is under fire after sharing behind-the-scenes photos with Japanese actor Sakaguchi Kentaro from her “DREAM” music video.

The controversy began when Japanese fans targeted Lisa with malicious hate messages on social media, accusing her of inappropriate behavior simply for posting adorable photos and videos with Sakaguchi.

Netflix Thailand added fuel to the fire by promoting Sakaguchi’s show Beyond Goodbye, linking it to Lisa’s video due to her Thai background.

Soon after, netizens called out Japanese fans for attacking Lisa while Sakaguchi received praise and free promotion.
