Lisa (BLACKPINK) and the biggest scandals of her career: Accused of plagiarism, the manager ran away with all the money

Almost anyone who is a Kpop fan can't help but know the beautiful Lisa. She is a member of the world famous group BLACKPINK.

In addition to singing and dancing beautifully, Lisa is also surprised when she is fluent in 5 languages including Thai, English, Korean, Japanese and Chinese. Five years after BLACKPINK's debut, Lisa is finally releasing her solo album, Lalisa. She is currently on top of the world, but the journey has not been easy. With each obstacle overcome, Lisa proves her class even more.

Management scam 1 billion won

Last year, the media reported that Lisa's former manager had stolen 1 billion won (nearly 20 billion VND) from her by cheating. This manager has been with Lisa since BLACKPINK's debut, so this betrayal hurts even more. The manager said he would help her invest in real estate, but in reality, he took the money to gamble. Because she is a foreigner, living alone in Korea since she was young, Lisa is even more susceptible to scams.

When reviewing BLACKPINK's schedule of activities and managers, fans quickly realized that this was Jung Bo Kyung. He got Lisa's trust but then he cheated the female idol's money to gamble. Jung Bo Kyung is the one who has followed BLACKPINK since the group's debut. According to the announcement from YG, the company conducted an internal investigation and Lisa chose the mediation option. Manager Jung Bo Kyung has left YG Entertainment after a partial refund, with a commitment to pay the rest in installments.

Faced with this not-so-easy problem, Lisa simply moved forward. She is a choreographer for "Young With You" season 2 and is preparing for her solo debut.

Racial discrimination and attacks

For a long time, the youngest member of BLACKPINK has been a victim of Southeast Asian discrimination in a part of Korean netizens. Although beautiful, talented and loved by many, Lisa is always subject to hateful comments because of her Thai roots. Previously, there were some controversies that divided the BLACKPINK fan community about Lisa being treated badly, being allowed to wear dancers' costumes, or having to wear unflattering clothes in the MV, on stage or on the red carpet. But recently, that situation has improved, especially when she shines with a sexy brand shirt on the red carpet of the 2018 Golden Disc Awards.

However, the moment that made Lisa stand out the most was also the darkest moment for the 22-year-old singer. While Lisa is receiving a lot of praise from the international fan community thanks to "every time being dressed well by the stylist", a part of Koreans "stoned" this Thai-born idol with disparaging words. like:

"Is his face all Southeast Asian like that?"

"She's so beautiful because of Korean makeup technology!"

"Taking off that makeup, her face is full of Southeast Asian features"

"If it weren't for Korean make-up, she'd be just like any other Southeast Asian girl"

"Go back to Thailand, don't come to Korea to make a name for yourself. No one likes you here"

Before that evil stigma, many viewers and celebrities also spoke out to protect Lisa. They call for an end to "racism" in Korean society in general and K-pop in particular because foreigners like Lisa are not at fault for setting up in Korea. To defend Lisa, audiences and celebrities have joined the hashtag #RespectLisa (Respect Lisa) on social networks.

After the scandal, many fans called Lisa "international sister" because she was loved and protected by not only global fans but also international stars. The most surprising thing is that the famous actor from the Golden Temple Mario Maurer and a series of cult stars like Kalamare - host of the famous Thai show series, Hollywood actress Jordyn Jones also stood up to support Lisa on Instagram with comments. Comment: "We're so proud of you, Lisa"

As an idol, Lisa cannot avoid scrutiny and criticism, from talent to appearance. Whenever there is a cosmetic rumor, Blink will quickly extinguish it with images of Lisa from before debut.

Allegations of plagiarism

In 2020, Lisa was caught in a plagiarism controversy. Cierra Nichols, a choreographer, accused Lisa of stealing choreography from the Lilifilm video, dancing to Quin and 6Lack's Mushroom Chocolate music.

A month before Lisa released the video, Nichol also posted a Mushroom Chocolate dance video, leading her to believe that Lisa copied her. Nichols then had to officially apologize to Lisa, her choreographer, YG Entertainment and those affected for the allegations. "After serious comparison, I can say there are some similarities in the dance steps but not the choreography or Lisa copying. Dear, Cierra Nichols," Nichols wrote.

Experiencing a difficult trainee period

On Youth With You, Lisa wrote a letter to fans, talking about the difficulties of being a trainee. "I can totally understand you because I've been through that too. When I was 14, I wanted to be a singer... I left home alone and went to a foreign country to become a trainee. I went through high-level training and had to overcome the language barrier" - Lisa shared. Lisa always encourages fans not to give up on their dreams. After all, she is living proof that perseverance, hard work and a heart of gold will make all dreams come true. This is truly an example that young people can follow.
