In new leaked document pages, HYBE criticizes BLACKPINK’s Lisa’s performance

This Friday, the 1st, an employee of the HYBE conglomerate leaked onto the internet new pages of the “music industry report” created by the company, completely composed of 18 thousand pages, where the agency gives its opinions on numerous k-pop artists , containing malicious comments and performance analyzes of groups inside and outside the corporation.

Among the content released today, it is possible to see, once again, an area dedicated only to BLACKPINK. Among the topics discussed in the document is the presentation of Lisaheld in 2023 at the Crazy Horse Club, in Paris, a music venue aimed at an adult audience.

In the text, HYBE criticizes the performance of Lisaaccusing the presentation of causing “the team’s overall image to be substantially damaged” after Jisoo, Rosé and Jennie go and honor their friend at the show.

“His appearance at the Crazy Horse Show in Paris made a significant impact on the image. She may have intended it to be a challenge to nudity itself or an act of empowerment, but taking the burlesque route instead of mixing it as part of a big, grand performance seems a little naive. It seems like she’s not fully recognizing the impact of doing this in this context. This even led to the team’s overall image being substantially damaged after other BLACKPINK members went to see the show. This group has never been known to intentionally use themes like feminism or gender issues as part of their image, so it is assumed that this is why the issue has gone unnoticed. To be frank, they are a team that focuses on heterosexual dating rather than any other activity, after all,” reads part of the document, shared by Koreaboo.

More criticism of BLACKPINK

In another part of the report, shared and translated by fans on social media, HYBE accuses solo fans of Jisoo of being responsible for starting fights with other fans, including those of other BLACKPINK members. Check the translation:

“A member who has the strongest fan base in Northeast Asia, particularly Korea, and Southeast Asia: this was also the case for Lisa, but in Jisoo’s case, the fans are especially passionate, which has led to some incidents emotionally intense. Recently, the brand Dior uploaded photos of the members on its official Instagram account, and this became an issue among Korean fans because they set Jisoo’s photo as the main image in the post.

It was said that the post included Jisoo’s photo, but when the entire feed was viewed, it appeared that the thumbnail showed Jennie, making Jisoo’s fans feel angry. Since Jisoo’s fans spend more on amrca than the other members’ fans, they were especially upset, and there was a perception that Dior should have been more considerate. This led to Dior later uploading Jisoo’s photos and videos in separate posts to deal with the incident.

Such internal fan conflicts, or battles over preferential treatment of certain members, tend to occur particularly in regions where fan bases are divided. In this case, it was mainly Jisoo’s fan base in Taiwan that reacted strongly, and similar issues seem to keep repeating themselves in these communities.

Additionally, whenever news about Jisoo’s private life or rumors emerge, her fan base and community often bring up rumors of her past relationship, leading to debates within the fan base. Some interpret this as Jisoo’s fans overreacting in a way that could harm her, while others think the fans are defending her honor. It appears there are ongoing disagreements about how best to handle these discussions in the community.”
