Members of the group BLACKPINK are increasingly finding themselves at the center of controversy over their provocative performances.
On the 28th, Lisa took the stage at 'Crazy Horse', one of Paris's top three cabarets. From the 28th, Lisa transformed into 'Crazy Girl' for a total of five performances over three days at 'Crazy Horse', showcasing stages like 'But I am a Good Girl' and 'Crisis? What Crisis!?'.
Fans have expressed concerns about the 'Crazy Horse' show itself. Known as the most risqué among Paris's top three shows, 'Crazy Horse' is notorious for its explicit content, leading to debates about its appropriateness.
Audience members who attended Lisa's show shared, "She wore a 'CEO outfit' and danced using a table. She then took off her skirt. We saw her in lingerie and stockings. She also took off her top," and "She twerked in a skirt; it was super hot," highlighting the bold nature of her performance.
Netizens commented, "I hoped it wouldn't be that explicit," "Considering BLACKPINK has many young fans, I'm concerned," and "Taking off a woman's suit in front of everyone, isn't that sexualizing women?" expressing their worries.
This isn't the first time a BLACKPINK member has ventured into 'mature' content. Last June, Jennie made headlines when she was cast in HBO's original series 'The Idol'.
'The Idol', set against the backdrop of LA's music industry, is a drama about a popular female pop singer's journey in the music world and her love story, produced and starring the famous pop singer, The Weeknd. Jennie appeared as Diane, a backup dancer for the main character played by Lily-Rose Depp, Johnny Depp's daughter.
While 'The Idol' marked Jennie's Hollywood debut and even led to her attending the Cannes Film Festival, the show received criticism post-release.
Excessive exposure of female actors and numerous smoking scenes in 'The Idol' were criticized for potentially having a harmful influence on young viewers. Jennie, too, found herself at the center of controversy due to her revealing outfits and provocative dance moves.
While the moves shown by Lisa and Jennie can be seen as showcasing their individual talents seven years post-debut, concerns are being raised about the potential negative influence on their vast young K-pop fanbase.
Meanwhile, as BLACKPINK's exclusive contract with YG Entertainment comes to an end and their future remains uncertain, it was reported that BLACKPINK members Jisoo and Rosé personally visited Lisa's performance venue to show their support, drawing attention.
YG Entertainment stated, "There's nothing confirmed regarding BLACKPINK's contract renewal and future activities."
