Dara recently appeared as a judge on the show "Under 15" for young talents. When commenting on the contestants, Dara unexpectedly mentioned Blackpink's Lisa when she was an trainee.
Accordingly, member 2NE1 said that she participated in the monthly check-ups of Blackpink members when she was a trainee. The female idol revealed that Blackpink's Lisa was once asked to turn off the mic while performing.
"I used to watch Blackpink members perform during the monthly check-up. On stage, when the members were holding the microphone, they told Lisa to turn off the microphone because her voice was so strong. When I heard you sing, it felt like I was watching Lisa at that time," Dara said.
Although it was just an accidental sharing, Dara's statement was immediately shared widely on social network X (formerly Twitter). Many fans expressed their anger because YG Entertainment - Lisa's former management company, prevented the female idol from showing her potential, especially her singing voice. Some people believe that Dara was angry when Lisa was stopped, so they always keep that story in mind.
Before Dara's statement, Lisa's fans had repeatedly thought that Lisa was being treated more unfairly than the Blackpink members. The female idol was criticized for using unesequated outfits many times and receiving less care than the other members.
In December 2023, Lisa and 3 Blackpink members simultaneously terminated their individual contracts with YG Entertainment.
After leaving YG Entertainment, Lisa has been active as a solo artist.
The Thai female idol constantly releases new music and collaborates with international artists. The Blackpink member also publicly updated about her luxurious and wealthy private life.
