Female singer Lisa (Blackpink) is said to be trying to gradually restore her activities in the Chinese market, after a period of controversy due to a performance that caused a strong reaction at Crazy Horse Paris in 2023.
Recently, the female singer has continuously appeared in hot searches on social networks in the populous country, with content revolving around appearance and life. According to some sources, Lisa's crew is said to be taking advantage of the social media heat to rebuild their image and prepare for their return to the Chinese market.
Not stopping there, Lisa recently reached a cooperation agreement with a famous retail brand in China to deploy pop-up activities with personal imprints. Many exclusive linked products and derivative products with Lisa's image are expected to be sold at stores.
However, this is not the female singer's official comeback. According to media reports, because Lisa was once restricted from activities in mainland China after previous controversies, her frequent appearances on television shows are considered to encounter many obstacles. Therefore, commercial activities are seen as a probing step to assess public reaction before she returns to showbiz.
Compared to participating in television programs or movies, commercial activities have a lower level of public opinion risk and are easier to implement.
This method both helps Lisa quietly restore her commercial presence in the Chinese market, attracting public attention and purchasing power from fans; and can also survey the audience's acceptance before truly returning.
According to sources, Lisa's crew is contacting many entertainment programs in China, negotiating the possibility of participating as guests or fixed members. The real goal of the female singer is said to be to reappear on Chinese entertainment programs and build a long-term foothold in this market, because this is considered a market that brings in large revenue.
However, reality is not as easy as expected. The performance at the Crazy Horse Paris nightclub in 2023 once caused Lisa to face a large wave of criticism in China.
Images of the female singer appearing in performances considered sensitive have caused controversy about the image and standards of a Kpop idol. The incident also affected her activities in the Chinese market.
Although many years have passed, these controversies are still frequently mentioned every time Lisa shows signs of wanting to return to China. A part of netizens continue to object and believe that she should not return to this market.
In addition, actress Angelababy was also involved in controversies surrounding Lisa. Therefore, many Angelababy fans always follow Lisa's moves and speak out against when information appears that she intends to return to mainland China.
