BLACKPINK's Lisa Receives Backlash Over Lip-Syncing Claims In Recent Performance

BLACKPINK ’s Lisa, a global K-pop sensation, faced backlash for her lip-sync performance at the Global Citizen Festival, a high-profile charity event held in Central Park, New York, on September 29th (KST). Sharing the stage with top-tier artists like Post Malone and Doja Cat, Lisa made headlines with her first solo festival performance, but not entirely for the right reasons.

Performing hits like ROCKSTAR, NEW WOMAN, LALISA, and MONEY, Lisa captivated with her visually stunning stage presence. However, it wasn’t her vocals that left a lasting impression. The criticism stemmed from Lisa heavily relying on pre-recorded tracks, only singing live in parts of the performance. This left many fans frustrated, especially given that the festival's interactive nature invited more live engagement.

Fans took to social media to express their disappointment, with comments like, "Why lip-sync when there’s no choreography?", "She seems to lack the ability to perform solo,", "Her lip movements don’t match the lyrics," and "The performance seemed half-hearted."

Despite the backlash, Lisa’s appearance wasn’t without its highlights. She debuted an unreleased digital single titled Moonlit Floor, a track that’s already causing a buzz. Set to release on October 4th, the song samples Sixpence None the Richer’s Kiss Me, adding an extra layer of intrigue to her evolving music portfolio.

This event follows her historic win earlier this month at the MTV Video Music Awards, where she became the first K-pop solo artist to take home the Best K-pop award for her song ROCKSTAR. While her recent performance has stirred mixed reactions, it’s clear Lisa continues to break barriers in the industry.

On a brighter note, Lisa is also set to make her acting debut in the third season of HBO's The White Lotus, marking another milestone in her already illustrious career.

As Lisa balances her expanding roles in both music and acting, her recent festival appearance has sparked conversation. Whether this criticism will affect her future solo stages remains to be seen, but one thing’s for sure—Lisa’s star power isn’t dimming anytime soon.
