BLACKPINK’s Lisa is facing backlash after YG Entertainment announced the group’s new song will debut at their upcoming concert.
The announcement stirred controversy online, with fans worried about ticket resales and the timing of the reveal. Soon after, Lisa posted a message to fans expressing her excitement for the concert and confirming that BLACKPINK members have been practicing hard.
Netizens quickly accused Lisa of doing "damage control" with her message.
“they saw blinks reselling the tickets and thought of 1 member to say this… don’t actually fall for this guys”
– Twitter user rex“they saw the tweets and lisa lost on rock paper scissors and had to do the damage control”
– Twitter user“live footage of YG making Lisa do this”
– Twitter user Tim“sorry Lisa, i’m not falling for this…”

Supporters pushed back, saying Lisa is always active with fans and often "chronically offline," so she might not have been aware of the backlash when she posted.
