[소통] Lisa, 'All Lip Sync' Criticism Explosion at VMAs… Foreign Media Says 'Worst'

Lisa, who performed as a soloist and not as part of Blackpink at the US MTV Awards, is suddenly being accused of lip-syncing ㅠㅠ

Um.. what do you think? I think lip syncing can be done for performance.

I'm against lip-syncing the entire show...

Did she actually lip-sync? I don't think Lisa would do that ㅠㅠ She's already proven her skills..

Lisa of group Blackpink was embroiled in allegations of lip-syncing during her performance on stage at the VMAs awards ceremony. Some foreign media outlets selected Lisa's performance as the 'worst' performance.

Lisa attended and brightened up the '2024 MTV Video Music Awards' (hereinafter referred to as 'VMAs') held at the UBS Arena in New York, USA on the 12th (Korean time).

On this day, Lisa, who came on stage after being introduced by Paris Hilton, filled the stage by herself by singing her solo songs 'New Woman' and 'Rockstar'. On this day, Lisa won the 'Best K-Pop' award for 'Rockstar'.

After the performance, suspicions erupted on X (formerly Twitter) that "Lisa lip-synced during her first VMAs solo stage." They responded by saying things like "How could she think of lip-syncing on an American stage?", "She's a fraud?", and "Her lips barely moved", criticizing Lisa's performance as insincere.

In response, Lisa's fans posted a video taken at the VMAs venue, refuting the lip-syncing suspicions, saying, "You can clearly hear Lisa's breathing and singing voice." If you check the video, you can see that although AR (an audio source containing the singer's vocals) was installed, Lisa was performing live.

Netizens who watched the video responded with, "I guess they didn't think she could do that kind of live while dancing", "Lisa proved her skills", and "It seems like they played a lot of audio. There weren't many live parts."

Foreign media outlets criticized Lisa's performance from a perspective other than lip-syncing. The New York Post in the United States called Lisa's performance the "worst" and said, "I wonder how she was invited."

Billboard evaluated it as "a good attempt, but a failed performance." It also expressed regret, saying, "The 'New Woman' stage did not feature a joint performance with Rosalía, and 'Rockstar' had good choreography, but was not bold enough."

Lisa, a member of the group Blackpink, established her own label Loud Company in February and signed a partnership with RCA Records, a subsidiary of Sony Music in the United States, in April to release her second solo album. Lisa was nominated in a total of four categories at the MTV VMAs for her album's title track "Rockstar": Best K-Pop, Best Choreography, Best Art Direction, and Best Editing.

Lisa is expanding her scope of activities by appearing in season 3 of the HBO original series 'The White Lotus' along with her solo singing career.
