Lisa and ILLIT were "fighting" because of the same fandom name, and the fans declared a fierce war

Kpop fans are once again "uprising" with the conflict surrounding the fandom name. This time, the incident revolves around Lisa ( Blackpink) and ILLIT, when ILLIT's fans chose the name "Lilly" to coincide with the Blackpink member's "Lilies".

Lisa (Blackpink), a talented and beautiful Thai female singer known as "Thai Doll", always attracts the attention of many fans. However, besides her great successes, she has also been entangled in controversies many times, especially related to the fandom name.

Lisa's official fandom name is "Lilies", symbolizing the elegant, pure and radiant beauty of the female singer. However, the choice of this name has led to controversies with some other fandoms, typically the fandom of the girl group ILLIT.

The Kpop fan community is in an uproar over the fact that fans of the girl group ILLIT chose the fandom name "Lilly" which in English means Lilies, coinciding with Lisa's (Blackpink) fandom name - "Lilies". This namesake has led to fierce arguments between the two fan communities.

Even Lilies Lisa's fans were not the only ones who felt angry, Nmixx's fandom did too, when they saw that their fandom name was the same as the ILLIT fandom name. ILLIT's use of similar names is considered disrespectful and confusing.

According to information, ILLIT fans believe that their use of the name "Lilly" is different from Lisa's fandom name due to the different pronunciation of the name. Lisa's fan name reads 릴리스 (Lilies), this side is 릴리즈 (lilly). ILLIT fans countered that "Lilly" has a different pronunciation than "Lilies" and "Lily", and therefore does not violate any rules. They also said they had been using this name since before the other fandom debuted.

Controversy erupted fiercely on social networks, with harsh words and even declarations of war from fans. Currently the keyword "Lilies for Lisa" is trending on X, with more than 175k posts, Lisa fans are continuing to push this keyword to the top trending. Lisa and ILLIT's image was negatively affected by this incident. The Kpop fan community expressed many mixed opinions, some said that having the same fandom name is not a cause for concern, but there were also strong objections.

This issue has become a hot topic on The Qoo with 85,702 views and nearly 1,000 comments. Some reactions of K-net are as follows:

Do we need to care about an unofficial fandom name?

There's no need to care about a fandom name that the owner hasn't confirmed yet

It's best not to touch the Southeast Asian fandom

Among the Kpop Idol community, Lisa has many international fans, so please change your name.

Out of all the fandoms in history, the most toxic fandom is the Southeast Asian fandom. Stay away from this.

I see the biggest problem as the company's incompetence.

Previously, in April 2019, Bighit named the fandom TXT "Young People" while it had the same name as Tiffany's (SNSD) solo fandom. As soon as the name was announced, controversy broke out when a while ago, in September 2018, Tiffany also announced that her fandom name was Young One. In particular, the meaning that both artists want to convey in the name is somewhat similar.

After this incident happened, there were many mixed opinions and worse, the fan community of the two idols continued to "fight" on social networks, causing the story to go further and further. Under pressure from public opinion, BigHit finally came up with a suitable solution: changing the name of TXT's fandom.

This incident exploded on social networks, with harsh words and even declarations of war from both fans. This has negatively affected the images of both artists, as well as created a tense atmosphere in the Kpop fan community.
