Things went so far that questions regarding the Kpop idol’s sustainability in the Blackpink group with the other three members also popped up. Despite that, Lisa topped searches on the Chinese platform Weibo. There is something in her.
Even though Lisa is a prominent personality in the Kpop industry, she has Thai roots. Not everyone knows this—no wonder she has great rapping skills. Lisa is also famous for her solo works like- Lalisa and Money. Which one do you prefer more? How can we forget to mention her dancing skills? You must watch Taeyang’s music video of Shoong!, where Lisa performed alongside.
Now, as the Blackpink members made it to King Charles’ state banquet, Lisa’s prominence on the Chinese social media platform, Weibo, increased. It generated some important buzz. The event took place on 21 November.
To the newbies, following her “striptease” controversy, Lisa was also banned on Weibo. In other words, the Kpop idol reportedly lost her account. Not only that, but even the posts of the famous luxurious fashion houses that featured her were taken down. One must note that “Chinese law prohibits entertainment industry workers from engaging in or promoting sex-related activities, including stripping as such.”
Now, the question is- how did Lisa top the searches on Weibo? Here is what we know.
Blackpink’s Lisa Tops Searches On The Chinese Platform, Weibo
The searches started following Blackpink’s appearance at the Korean State Banquet at Buckingham Palace in the UK. The South Korean President- Yoon Suk Yeol, and the First Lady were to be greeted at the event. All four members- Jisoo, Lisa, Rose, and Jennie- attended, wearing designer dresses. No doubt, each of them looked good. But only one caught the most attention. It was none other than – Lisa.
It was Lisa’s style that captivated the eyes of fans. In short, that later turned out to be the main discussion on the aforementioned Chinese social media platform. To be more precise, the keyword “Lisa’s state banquet style” gradually became the most-read topic in the “Entertainment” section. Not only that, it also garnered 110 million views in a very short time.
Lisa was previously blacklisted in China for her sexual performance at a cabaret show in Paris. But, this time, the Kpop rapper won the hearts of Chinese fans with her sophisticated and intricate fashion sense at the banquet. We may say that it became a sensation in China.
Talking about Lisa’s appearance at the event, she wore a stunning, embellished, blue-colored gown and accessories with an elegant flowing cape train. You will be surprised to know that within just 7 hours, the topic of Lisa’s appearance amazed a lot of fans. The number is already mentioned above.
Lisa making headlines for her rap skills, vocals, music releases, dance performances, and fashion is not something new. She never failed to impress her fans. But, what turned out to be shocking, this time, was her comeback on Weibo in the “search” bar. No, she probably hasn’t gotten her account back yet, but she is already ruling the platform. Moreover, Lisa has her hashtag, signifying her style.
We wonder if Lisa intentionally put any effort to impress her Chinese fans again. Or did it just happen? Being a Blink, we are quite happy and proud of her. Aren’t you?
