BLACKPINK’s Lisa has been announced as one of the performers for the 2025 Oscars, alongside Doja Cat and RAYE. However, the announcement has sparked controversy, with some netizens accusing the K-pop star of benefiting from nepotism. Fans have since rallied to defend Lisa, emphasizing her global success and talent.
Oscars Performance Announcement
The Academy recently revealed that Lisa, along with Doja Cat and RAYE, will take the stage at the 2025 Oscars. The event, set to air live on March 2, 2025, will be hosted by Conan O’Brien. The announcement was met with excitement from fans but also criticism from some who questioned Lisa’s inclusion.
Following the announcement, several netizens took to social media to accuse Lisa of securing the performance through nepotism. Some claimed her alleged relationship with Frederic Arnault, CEO of Tag Heuer and part of the LVMH family, played a role in the decision. Critics argued that Lisa’s performance lacked connection to any nominated films or significant contributions to cinema.
One viral tweet suggested that LVMH’s sponsorship of the Oscars influenced the decision. However, it was later clarified that the referenced sponsorship was from the previous year’s event, not the 2025 Oscars.
Lisa’s fans quickly came to her defense, highlighting her accomplishments as a member of BLACKPINK and as a solo artist. They pointed out that Lisa’s global influence and success make her a fitting choice for such a prestigious event. Fans also dismissed the nepotism claims, emphasizing her hard work and talent.
One fan tweeted, “Lisa is part of one of the biggest groups in the world and has cemented her dominance as a solo star. It’s no surprise she’s being chosen to perform at such prestigious events.” Others noted that Lisa’s achievements, including her upcoming album and acting debut, demonstrate her versatility and global appeal.
Netizens React to Criticism
The backlash against Lisa’s critics was swift, with many netizens expressing frustration over the constant negativity directed at the idol. Some fans argued that the accusations stemmed from jealousy, given Lisa’s continued success. One tweet read, “The more you hate on her, the bigger and more successful she gets.”
Others pointed out that performing at the Oscars does not require a Grammy nomination or a connection to a specific film. They emphasized that Lisa’s inclusion is a testament to her global influence and the entertainment industry’s recognition of her talent.
Lisa’s Rising Global Stardom
Lisa’s performance at the Oscars marks another milestone in her career. As a member of BLACKPINK, she has already achieved global fame, and her solo endeavors have further solidified her status as a leading figure in the entertainment industry. Her upcoming projects, including her album and acting roles, continue to generate excitement among fans.
Despite the controversy, Lisa’s supporters remain confident in her abilities and are eager to see her shine on the Oscars stage. As one fan aptly put it, “Lisa will continue to succeed, and her haters will continue to hate while they watch her.”
