BLACKPINK is facing mixed reactions after sharing a reunion photo amid ongoing tour controversy.
The group is set to kick off their world tour in Goyang, Korea, on July 5. The tour has been hit with backlash, including criticism over the announcement that a new song will debut at the first show.
Lisa responded to the backlash with a message many called “damage control.”
Amid the fallout, Jisoo posted a new photo showing all four members with their hands touching in a clover leaf. Soon after, Jennie shared the same photo on her account.
Lisa then reposted both Jisoo and Jennie’s stories on her own Instagram.
