Defending idols too much damages BLACKPINK’s reputation
Before the noisy incident with the Travis Scott crew, Lisa’s fans had defended their idol “going underground” by giving subjective interpretations of the lyrics of the song ROCKSTAR. Worth mentioning, the extreme Lilies intentionally bringing down BLACKPINK and attacking Jennie, causing a lot of damage to the global group’s reputation.

The reason for this comes from the controversy over cliché rap lyrics. Lisa was criticized by experts for her music writing skills. The theme “flex yourself” with repetitive segments and meaningless lyrics makes ROCKSTAR a song with little value in terms of content.

The Lilies did not accept this and tried to explain the ROCKSTAR rap lyrics. 1 Lilies’ post analyzing Lisa’s hidden meaning attracted more than half a million views. This person affirmed that Lisa was not superficial when writing ROCKSTAR, the listener must be sophisticated to recognize the message. But in the post, Lisa’s fans continuously gave one-sided explanations, claiming that Lisa was dissatisfied with YG, trying to prove that her personal reputation was higher than the group’s and “dissing” Jennie.

Lisa’s private fan community intentionally “twisted” ROCKSTAR lyrics in a direction that brought down BLACKPINK, sparking controversy and discord.

Lilies’ “unique” post caused an explosion of negative reactions on social networks. From here, BLACKPINK’s sisterhood was once again distorted. Antifans gained momentum to create discord among the global girl group, and Lisa was “mean”. with sisters”. The fact that fans continuously give unconfirmed explanations only stirs up more controversy. Especially when a group of Lisa’s extreme fans intentionally bring down and harm other members. Not only did it not solve the problem, it also caused Lisa to be “infected”.
