Lisa, a member of the group “BLACKPINK,” suddenly closed her Chinese social media Weibo account.
According to CNN and other foreign media on the 1st (local time), Lisa’s Weibo account was closed with a notice saying, “We can no longer see this account because we have been reported to have violated laws, regulations, and Weibo management regulations.”
CNN said, “It is unclear what complaints have been received. But Chinese internet companies regularly suspend or delete accounts for violating their myriad censorship rules or simply causing too much controversy, he said. “It came at a time when Lisa sparked a huge controversy on the tightly controlled Chinese internet after she appeared at a Crazy Horse performance in Paris last September.”
CNN also said, “Lisa’s performance caused controversy in some conservative parts of Asia,” adding, “On Weibo, there was a fierce debate over Lisa’s appearance on the show.” He added, “The Weibo accounts of Jisoo, Jennie, and Rosé, the other members of BLACKPINK, remain the same.”
“Crazy Horse,” in which Lisa appeared, is one of the top three shows in Paris, France, along with Moulin Rouge and Lido, which caused controversy over the commercialization of sex in that it is a performance that shines light and lighting on women’s nude. In 2015, he performed a performance in Korea, and at that time, the Korea Media Rating Committee lowered the rating for youth viewing.
