Lisa’s images at BLACKPINK fansign sparked controversy that she was being ignored by fans.

On August 8, BLACKPINK had a special fansign to celebrate their 8th debut anniversary with 88 lucky fans. This was a rare opportunity for fans to chat with the 4 global girls after nearly 2 years since the fansign to promote the album BORN PINK in November 2022. However, it was also here that international social networks were abuzz with the news that Lisa was being shunned by her own fans.

Accordingly, on social media, the online community compared the gifts that fans present at the fansign for BLACKPINK. While Jennie, Jisoo, and Rosé continuously received gifts from fans – specifically, Rosé received up to 13 accessories and Jisoo also received 6 gifts, Lisa only received 3 gifts.

Even a moment of Lisa sitting “alone” during the fansign event raised suspicions among netizens that the BLINK community was “returning favors” because she only thanked Lilies – Lisa’s own fandom when she released her solo song ROCKSTAR.

The remaining 3 members, Jisoo, Jennie, and Rosé, received many accessory gifts from fans.

But Lisa is said to have received very few gifts from fans.

A photo with the caption “Lisa was unusually quiet during a fan meeting with BLINKs. Fans think she knew about the hate because she said “lilies” instead of “blink” on Instagram” was shared on social media.

However, in reality, the images that have been spread are only a few moments when Lisa received gifts from fans. During the fansign, the youngest member of BLACKPINK also received quite a few gifts from fans. If we calculate the number based on the images recorded by those present, the number is equal to that of eldest sister Jisoo – not counting the items that were not posted on social networks.

The number of accessories fans gave Lisa was equal to the number Jisoo received.

On the other hand, some opinions also assert that because Lisa is the artist who sits in the first position, she has to ensure a stricter time than the other members so as not to “overdo” the time. That is also the reason why Lisa has few moments to chat with fans below at the beginning of the fansign.

Regarding the moment of “Lisa being unusually silent”, the fan community also objected and affirmed that this was the moment when Lisa was waiting for the next fan to take her place. On social media, there are many clips of Lisa “taking advantage” to chat with fans sitting below but they were not shared. This also made some people suspect that the author of the post was trying to push a negative perspective to cause internal controversy within BLACKPINK’s fandom.

Lisa could only “take the opportunity” to wave and chat briefly with fans below because she was sitting in the first position.
