Recently, Lisa was named in the "Best Kpop" category at the MTV Video Music Awards 2025 (VMAs 2025) with the song "Born again". This is the third time the Blackpink member has won this category and is also the first female solo artist to own 3 "Best Kpop" trophies.
Immediately after that, on her personal page, Lisa sent her thanks to fans - who have always supported the artist's career. However, it is worth mentioning that she thanked Lillies (Lisa's own fan community name) instead of Blink (the fan community name of the entire Blackpink group).
In addition, her controversy when writing "Lillies! We won! I love you all" (roughly translated: Lillies, we won. I love you so much). Many fans have expressed their dissatisfaction that this is not the first time she has just thanked her own fan community and forgotten the fans of the whole group. "All 4 members were nominated for this category, but Lisa sent her thanks to her fans and said that she won. It was tactless, or if it was intentional, it would be disappointing," commented one viewer.
Lisa's post was also compared to the speech of Rose - her sister in the same group. When receiving the "Song of the Year" award at V Mase, Rose sent her thanks to the group and the Blink community.
Therefore, many people think that Lisa's behavior is tactless, childish and can divide the fan community. However, there are also fans who speak up to defend Lisa, saying that she is simply a private fan thank you - something that many solo artists have done.
Not only stopping at the controversy over Lisa's post, the Blackpink female member also encountered controversy that her victory was unconvincing. The reason is because Lisa's hit "Born again" has lyrics entirely in English. Along with that, this is a song Lisa collaborated with Doja Cat and Raye and all 3 are not Korean. Therefore, many people think that this song winning the "Best Kpop" award is unreasonable and unfair.
