BLACKPINK’s Lisa is facing backlash after posting content with Japanese actor Sakaguchi Kentaro from her new track “DREAM.”
Lisa dropped the “DREAM” music video starring Sakaguchi Kentaro recently. Since then, she has shared more clips and behind-the-scenes footage showing their close chemistry.
A TikTok clip from Lisa’s account received harsh comments accusing her of “paying money to satisfy her own self-interest,” gaining over 140,000 likes.
It looks like Lisa is paying money to satisfy her own self-interest LMAO

Fans quickly pushed back against the hate. Many pointed out Lisa hired Sakaguchi professionally and paid him fairly, and argued his agency should step in to protect his image.
Yeah. Captain obvious. She desired him to be in HER mv. She hired him. He signed the contract. And im sure she paid him accordingly to what his talent and reputation deserves. Am i missing something here? Thes mfs be slow.

The Dream MV is great, Lisa & Kentaro did a great job, & Lisa is giving a lot of exposure to Kentaro. Go watch the MV to support him instead of coming here getting mad at scenarios you are making in your own head. They are both professionals & these are just regular BTS pics.

114k likes slutshaming a woman over an acting. I hope Lisa stop working with that man again. They should drop another nuclear in Japan. Never forget the atrocities these sushis did during world war.

Kentaro’s agency or whatever needs to handle this cause who’s gonna wanna work with him when his fans/people behave like this, and he ain’t even all that

Lisa shared multiple BTS photos with Sakaguchi, including ones showing them lying close together. Some critics twisted these images, suggesting inappropriate intent, despite the photos not being part of the official music video.
One post compared BLACKPINK members to women marrying wealthy men or popular idols, hinting at manipulative relationships.
BLACK PINKってさ
金持ちおぢ手玉にとって爆儲けしたり
イケメンにメロついたり
ハイスペ彼氏みんなに自慢したり
大金持ちの隣に座ってドヤ顔したり
大人気アイドルと匂わせたり
最高に””女””って感じがして好きすぎる

Netizens are rallying to defend Lisa as the situation unfolds.
