BLACKPINK's Lisa is drawing concerns as she is set to perform at France's renowned cabaret, "Crazy Horse". Lisa is scheduled to headline the 'Crazy Horse' stage from the 28th to the 30th, with a total of five performances over three days.
"Crazy Horse" is a performance show themed around women and art, and along with 'Moulin Rouge' and 'Lido', it is considered one of the top three shows in Paris. However, 'Crazy Horse' has been controversial due to its explicit content, focusing on the female form. Furthermore, the stringent and explicit physical criteria for its dancers have been a topic of discussion.
In 2015, when 'Crazy Horse' had a performance in South Korea, the Korea Media Rating Board rated it as restricted for minors. Amidst this, on the 25th, Lisa shared a sneak peek of her dance routine for 'Crazy Horse' on her social media. The released photos and videos showcased Lisa dancing under blue lights, flaunting her dance skills with her hair tied up high.
Apart from her solo songs, Lisa will also perform existing 'Crazy Horse' setlists, including 'But I Am a Good Girl' and 'Crisis? What Crisis'. The latter portrays a woman on the verge of a nervous breakdown due to Paris's unstable economic situation. As her clothes fly off, the stock market graph of Paris fluctuates, satirizing the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis.
Fans have expressed concerns about Lisa's participation in the show, commenting, "It contributes to the objectification of women" and "Does Lisa really need to be part of this show?" There are also concerns about younger fans being exposed to the show due to Lisa's appearance.
On the other hand, some fans have praised Lisa's decision, commenting, "She's a living Barbie," "It's cool," and "A refreshing image transformation."
Meanwhile, rumors have been circulating about Lisa not renewing her contract with YG Entertainment. On the 24th, Lisa departed for Paris for the 'Crazy Horse' performance. However, claims arose that she arrived in Paris without any YG staff. In fact, videos taken locally in Paris showed Lisa leaving the departure hall accompanied only by security personnel, without any YG staff. Prior to this, there were rumors that Lisa received a multi-billion won contract offer from another agency.
