Criticism of BLACKPINK Lisa’s Recent Announcement Ignites Misogyny Debate Related to HYBE Idol

BLACKPINK Lisa is facing controversy over her recent Golden Globe presenter announcement.

The controversy began after it was revealed Lisa, nominated as part of the ensemble for The White Lotus, would present at the 83rd Annual Golden Globes.

Lisa’s nomination and presenter role sparked mixed reactions. While many fans cheered, criticism poured in accusing her of benefiting from her rumored boyfriend, a HYBE male idol, rather than her own merit.

Lisa’s acting was limited to a cameo in The White Lotus, but some argued she was pushed too far ahead while real actors miss chances.

Daddy frederic inserting her everywhere when her album is super flop, viral for lipsyncing and got acting awards for a cameo role… Industry is

A cameo in white lotus in thai speaking is her only so called acting background but she is acting like main cast of white lotus and frederic Arnault pushing her everywhere while real actors are neglected or not given these opportunities.. Shame.

Soon after, it was announced that SEVENTEEN Joshua would also attend the Golden Globes. This added fuel to the fire. Fans noted Joshua had no acting credentials but wasn’t receiving the backlash Lisa got.

Some women hate other women. They attack LISA‘s attendance despite her being an actress in The White Lotus, yet a Korean man who isn’t even an actor attended without question bc he’s a Man + Korean oppa . Pure double standards,women tearing down other women.

Fans explain Joshua was invited by Lexus, not through acting, and called out the situation as a “misogyny” issue.

The only one getting attacked is lisa when she’s in white lotus series…
