After singer Lee Mu Jin defeated Lisa to victory in Inkigayo , BLACKPINK international fans inundated the music video for her title song with hateful comments.
On September 19, it was reported that the comments section of Youtube under Lee Mu Jin’s MV “Traffic Light” posted in May, had been terrorized by malicious comments from Lisa’s I-fans.
They left many comments, such as “Lisa is a world famous singer. Who is this person ? “This song is just normal”, “Korea doesn’t deserve Lisa at all”, “The KPOP is doomed because of its racism. “
In particular, fans were angry that “Traffic Light” by Lee Mu Jin, “LALISA” by Lisa and “Next Level” aespa were nominated for the top spot. The singer defeated the two powerful candidates. Lee Mu Jin scored 5,653 points in total and received the trophy, LaLisa placed No. 2 with 4,973 points, and aepsa 3rd with 4908 points.
Other overseas Lisa fans reacted differently; they said “For Lisa’s sake let’s not leave bad comments”, “After listening to the song, I think it deserves # 1”, “We have to accept the result”.
However, the comments saying Koreans don’t deserve Lisa drew the attention of Korean netizens who wrote:
- I feel bad for Lisa. I don’t hold a grudge against her at all. But her fans are so weird, and she gets hateful comments because of it. If you really care about your own country and Lisa, please stop doing this.
- Lisa is not problematic, but some of her international fans are. They keep saying that Koreans are racist …
- All they do is damage Lisa’s image … ㅠㅠㅠ
- I can’t believe they are asking Lee Moojin who he is. They have no idea how awesome Lee Moojin’s song is. He won # 1 because his song is awesome. How else would he win?
- Hmmmm, why are they insulting Koreans…? They are crazy
- Lisa’s international fans aren’t the problem. There are a lot of other international fans who are in trouble. Those of you who leave hateful comments for Lisa in this article are also problematic.
- Lisa hasn’t done anything wrong, let’s not drag her into that. I am not a fan. But Lisa never did anything wrong. She has talent. It’s such a shame that his problematic fans are damaging his image.
- I just watched Lee Moojin’s Youtube and the comments are really tough… Why are they doing this?
- International fans often attack other singers… International Lisa fans are exceptional, haven’t they attacked Mamamoo or Twice before?
- I love Lee Mujin’s song, so it deserves the first place …
- I really don’t understand the idol fandom culture.
- Seriously, there are a lot of weird kids among Southeast Asian fans.
- I hope they listen to “Traffic light” before judging it. “Traffic light” is so good
- Are they Lisa fans? I think they are anti. Don’t they know they’re ruining Lisa’s image?
- Seriously … These fans are ruining Lisa’s image
- I don’t think Lisa will like it
- Lisa has a lot of fans, and you know there are a lot of weird people all over the place.
On the other hand, Lisa released her solo song “LALISA” on September 10th. Immediately after its release, “LALISA” ranked # 1 on the iTunes Top Song Chart in 72 countries, proving its popularity.
