Recently, a video of Blackpink’s Jisoo performing bold dance moves with a male dancer during the group’s Deadline world tour went viral, sparking some discussion on social media.
It’s common to see such performances at Blackpink concerts, but Jisoo, along with Rosé, were the two members who performed less controversially than their bandmates Lisa and Jennie. However, Jisoo’s latest performance surprised viewers, who left mixed reviews.
The controversy is fueled by Jisoo’s recent activities as a solo artist and the ongoing scrutiny of her performances, as evidenced by previous online discussions about her dancing and acting skills, which have been widely discussed in media outlets like Koreaboo and allkpop.
A netizen criticized Jisoo’s sudden boldness, writing, “If this lil dance shook y’all… wait til she does a bed scene in her drama lmfao.”
While a fan criticized the unjustified attack on Jisoo, he replied, “Koreans and Japanese women in the comments are so angry over a dance move performed by a 30-year-old girl. Jisoo, I love you so much.”
Another echoed his sentiment, saying, “People are acting like it’s a disaster, forgetting that she’s already 30, has been in relationships, been married three times, and has had about five children The way they’ve always idealized her, saying she’s ‘too Korean,’ so shy and innocent…”
Another added, “Why are people so angry? She’s not a baby. She’s a grown woman. I can’t understand these people. If Jisoo doesn’t do things like others, she’s not like them. If she does that, she’s not the Jisoo we knew. Just shut up.”
A fan praised Jisoo’s energy since her contract with YG was canceled: “One thing about going separate from YG for solo activities is that it has made Jisoo so confident. Like she’s not the one in the background anymore, but the one giving the most. I love her energy.”
The timing of the tweet coincides with BLACKPINK’s “Deadline” world tour, BLACKPINK’s first major stadium tour, which began on July 5, 2025, and is scheduled to end in January 2026, increasing media and public interest in the band and its members.
