KATSEYE Daniela’s Father’s Offensive Comments About BLACKPINK’s Lisa and His Daughter Emerge
KATSEYE’s Daniela is facing backlash after racist comments from her father surfaced online.
The controversy began after Manon’s announcement of going on hiatus. Speculation about a permanent departure intensified when Daniela’s father made offensive remarks.
A fan page asked who was the better dancer between Daniela and BLACKPINK’s Lisa. Daniela’s father’s account replied:
“If you have to ask DANIELA! Much better trained. Plus she’s also Latina, major advantage against Asian dancers. Her hips r untouchable.”
The account uses Daniela’s father’s name and matches his now-deactivated Instagram.
Fans quickly called out the comment as racist against Asians and inappropriate. Many also found how he spoke about his daughter “uncomfortable” and “creepy.”
Here’s what netizens are saying on X:
Daniela’s Dad is now being racist towards LISA… what the actual fck is wrong with this man.
