BLACKPINK Lisa is facing controversy over her recent comments about where she feels most at home.
During an appearance on a U.S. radio show, Lisa was asked, "As a solo artist now promoting globally and traveling all over the world, where feels the most like home to you: Thailand or Korea?" She responded, "I think it’s probably, definitely Korea." This statement got people talking online.
Korean netizens reacted positively, pointing out that Lisa holds permanent residency in Korea, adding some weight to her answer.
But the response wasn’t all positive. Thai fans expressed disappointment. Some comments included:
"At some point, I hoped Lisa would return to Thailand and become prime minister, but that dream has been shattered."
"It’s Korea that made Lisa famous. We just benefit indirectly because she’s Thai."
Other fans noted:
"If Lisa hadn’t gone to Korea, she probably would’ve ended up in BNK48, the Thai version of Japan’s AKB48."
K-netizens discussed the backlash. Many showed understanding:
"If she had said Thailand, wouldn’t she have gotten attacked by antis in Korea?"
Support came from different quarters:
"I feel bad because Koreans have thrown a lot of unnecessary hate at Lisa… ㅠㅠㅠㅠ Lisa’s always been good to us."
Reactions varied. Some defended her choices, noting how Lisa’s long-term life in Korea impacts her feelings.
The situation has stirred debate, leaving fans split between supporting Lisa and reacting to the sentiments from both sides.
