One of Netflix's hit series "Emily In Paris" is becoming a topic of discussion on social media.
In particular, the story of the character Mindy (played by Ashley Park) - the best friend of the female lead Emily - makes the audience think that it is inspired by the life and career of Kpop group Blackpink member, Lisa.
Episode 8 of season 4 of “Emily In Paris” is titled “Back on The Crazy Horse”. In this episode, Mindy reveals that she will be performing at the Crazy Horse nightclub in Paris, which is famous for its striptease and dance performances.
The episode immediately reminded the audience of the incident when Lisa (Blackpink) performed at Crazy Horse Paris last September.
In an interview with People, actress Ashley Park confessed that the semi-nude dance scene made her extremely nervous, describing it as “every actor’s worst nightmare.”
“We have this recurring memory of being on stage, not knowing what you're doing in your underwear. And that's really what I was going through, but surrounded by the most beautiful dancers in the world around me.
It was stressful and difficult to do. If it weren't for choreographer Kyle Hanagami and my team by my side, I don't think I could have made it through," the actress shared.
However, Ashley Park also said that she was very proud of this scene, because it was an unforgettable acting experience.
Additionally, the character Mindy shares many other traits that are said to be similar to Lisa's life.
Mindy in the film is an Asian singer. She moved from Shanghai (China) to live in Paris (France) in search of new opportunities. Mindy dates Nicolas - the heir to the luxury company JVMA.
This scenario reminds the audience of the relationship between Lisa and one of the heirs of the luxury group LVMH - Frederic Arnault.
The Thai singer is dating Frederic Arnault. After all four members of Blackpink did not renew their individual contracts with YG Entertainment, Lisa established her own company LLOUD, signing a partnership with the American record label RCA Records to develop her career abroad.
Recently, Lisa and Frederic Arnault have been spotted many times on dates, dining out and vacationing with Frederic's family.
Another detail that was mentioned was that the character Mindy was once a judge in a music competition in China. Coincidentally, Lisa was also invited to be a consultant for the show “Youth With You” season 2 and season 3 in China.
