In recent days, Lisa continues to be the focus of Asian media when she is suspected of being murdered in China, having difficulty at work and her health is deteriorating.
On November 9, the management company YG Entertainment responded to questions related to Lisa. Since September, information that Lisa allegedly refused to renew her contract with YG Entertainment has captured Asian public opinion. Following that, Lisa’s 5 performances at the Crazy Horse strip club caused the Kpop (Asian youth music) idol star’s reputation to be affected.

After her performances at the strip club, Lisa faced a wave of protests in China and Korea.
Recently, she was suspected of being murdered in China when Lisa’s personal page and fanpage (page for fan community) on Weibo (China) were both deleted. Meanwhile, the personal pages of other members and the Blackpink group on Weibo are still operating normally.
Recently, YG Entertainment’s official account has continuously posted promotional project images of 3 members Jisoo, Jennie, and Rosé. Meanwhile, information related to Lisa is completely absent. This caused public opinion to discuss and suspect that Lisa and YG Entertainment could not renew the contract.
There are also opinions that YG Entertainment discriminated against Lisa because she was the only foreign member in the group. Compared to the other 3 members, Lisa is not a very famous name in the Korean market, but to Southeast Asian, Chinese and American audiences, Lisa is a face that attracts significant fans.
On Instagram, the Thai singer is the member with the most followers with 98.6 million fans, the highest in the group and surpassing the number of followers on Blackpink’s official account.
In response to public speculation, on November 9, YG Entertainment representative responded to Xports News: “We are discussing contract extension.”
YG Entertainment’s answer does not seem to satisfy the audience. Because the contract extension was supposed to be completed in August. However, the company delayed announcing the extension results after the Born Pink global tour.
This tour ended in September but the contract extension between the group’s members and YG Entertainment is still open. In rare comments, YG Entertainment’s representative only replied: “Everything is under discussion.”
Korean media said that YG Entertainment must soon announce the results of the contract extension and the future of Blackpink’s activities. Previously, there was information that Lisa received a contract with an American company. Accordingly, the female singer will be given full control over her music, film, television, fashion and performance career.

Specifically, Lisa will have her own record label, which gives her the right to sign new artists to her label and start a new chapter in her career.
Faced with the pressure all this time, Lisa just remained silent. After 5 shows at the Crazy Horse club, she spent time resting, traveling, and having fun with her family. On her personal page with 98.6 million followers, Lisa mainly posts photos of traveling and having fun.
Recently, a post on social networks related to Lisa also attracted audience discussion. The article was posted by a former employee of the Celine brand, talking about the experience of meeting Lisa. This person said that she met the Blackpink group member last June and witnessed Lisa’s fatigue.
This person said that Lisa’s health is quite bad and the female singer has to take painkillers. Lisa looked pale and almost exhausted. One of the employees at the store asked about Lisa’s health and the famous star said she was fine.

Former Celine employee said that on stage, Lisa is always full of energy, in contrast to her tired image outside. “She tried very hard and always did her best for the audience. That made me realize that no matter which path Lisa chose, she would always give her all to the audience,” this person wrote.
Lisa (born 1997) has been a YG Entertainment trainee since 2010. She left her hometown of Thailand to live in Korea and underwent training to become an idol star for nearly 6 years. This time was also quite difficult for Lisa as she was the only foreign member in the group and faced cultural and language differences.
In 2016, she officially debuted to fans as a member of Blackpink. With her beautiful appearance, excellent dancing and rapping skills, she became an indispensable part of Blackpink, helping the group become a global group. Lisa also has an impressive personal career and is the member with the largest fan base on Instagram.
