In a surprising move that has fans and netizens reeling, Lisa from BLACKPINK's Weibo account has been abruptly taken down. Users who tried accessing her page on November 1 encountered a notification from Weibo, stating that the popular K-pop singer's account was inaccessible due to purported violations of the platform's regulations.
The sudden unavailability of Lisa's Weibo account coincides with the stir her recent performance at the Crazy Horse show in Paris caused. This French cabaret, renowned for its provocative use of light on performers, has led some to deem it as overly sexualized. Lisa's choice to perform there had been making headlines since its announcement in September. During its three-day run from September 28 to 30, her acts garnered immense attention, drawing not just fans but international celebrities to witness her performances.
BLACKPINK Lisa's Weibo Account Goes Dark After Controversial Paris Cabaret Act
Interestingly, the repercussions of this controversial performance have reportedly affected not just Lisa. Buzz suggests that even Chinese celebrities who attended the show may be facing backlash and potential blacklisting within the entertainment sector. Given China's stringent stance against the promotion of what it deems as indecent performances, as outlined by the China Performing Arts Association, the speculation does not seem far-fetched.
The BLACKPINK star had taken to social media last month to share glimpses from her Crazy Horse acts. In a series of photos, she chronicled her time performing solo and group numbers. The K-pop icon had written, "Such an amazing experience at Crazy Horse Paris. Thank you everyone for making this happen. Call me whenever you need someone to fill a spot." Due to the club's policy against recording, fans had to rely on her updates to get a taste of the show, if they hadn't procured a ticket.
However, amidst all this, both Lisa and Weibo have yet to comment on the account's removal, leaving a cloud of uncertainty over the actual reason for the termination.
Adding another layer to the story, BLACKPINK, the globally recognized K-pop group that Lisa is an integral part of, marked its 7th debut anniversary this past August. As the world waits for news on Lisa's Weibo status, another anticipation looms: the decision regarding BLACKPINK's contract renewal with YG Entertainment.
