In a recent turn of events, BLACKPINK's Rosé and Jisoo have found themselves at the center of a heated debate after attending the renowned nightclub, Crazy Horse, in support of their fellow bandmate, Lisa's performance. The visit, which was meant to be a gesture of camaraderie, has instead ignited a firestorm of controversy, especially within the Knetz community.

BLACKPINK, globally celebrated for their chart-topping hits and captivating stage presence, are now grappling with a wave of criticism. The controversy was sparked when an anonymous user, identified as "OP," initiated an online discussion criticizing Rosé and Jisoo for supporting Lisa at Crazy Horse. The thread quickly gained traction, with both fans and critics sharing their perspectives.

While many fans saw the visit as a show of solidarity among the BLACKPINK members, a significant number of netizens expressed their disapproval. Comments ranged from questioning the group's values to expressing disappointment in their choices. Some of the critiques included statements like, "I really didn't know BLACKPINK would become like this" and "Do YG kids think differently than normal people?" The core of the debate revolves around the nature of Crazy Horse's entertainment, which is known for its provocative performances. Lisa's debut at the famous Crazy Horse de Paris cabaret was met with a mix of reactions. While she received accolades for her professionalism and the overall quality of her performance, some questioned the appropriateness of her participation given the show's risqué nature. Concerns were further amplified by tweets suggesting that Lisa's performance resembled that of a "stripper." Despite the backlash, many fans came to Lisa's defense, emphasizing the artistic nature of Crazy Horse performances. They argued that performing at such a venue is a privilege reserved for elite guests who appreciate genuine performance art. Tweets praising Lisa's elegance, charisma, and the artistic quality of the show flooded social media.

However, the debate doesn't end there. Critics raised concerns about the potential influence of such performances on young fans who view BLACKPINK as role models. They argued that such actions could tarnish the positive image of K-pop idols that previous generations have worked hard to establish.

As the discourse continues to unfold, YG Entertainment, BLACKPINK's management, has remained silent, leaving fans and critics alike in suspense about any potential repercussions on the group's image and career.
