Lalisa could have done well in Korea
but for the past 5 years he messed up lisa promotion in Korea
he keep promoting her in china, SEA and US and that's the problem
Koreans will have no affection for Lisa if he keep continue like this , especially the hate she gets in Korea for being a foreigner
the reasons why she get tons of shit from koreans is not really because she's a foreign member but because she's a foreign member who doesn't seem to care about koreans or korean industry as an individual.
because if you take the example of Nickhun, he was very popular in korea during 2PM peak and Koreans loved him
Ten is from thailand, but even when promoting with NCT 2020 and NCT 2018 Koreans have been praising him a lot for his skills
Momo, sana and Mina are foreigner and they get a lot of love from Koreans
Sayuri is a japanese entertainer who's also popular in Korea
Cao Lu from Fiestar, she's chinese but she was the only member in the group who was getting attention from the public
etc...
and the reasons why these foreigner get a lot of appreciation from koreans is because they had the time to learn to know them
Nickhun during 2PM peak, was push by JYP in a lot of variety show
Ten appear in Hit the stage, weekly idol, south korean foreigners etc....
Cao lu appear in real men etc...
Twice members appear in a lot of Variety show with twice and the public learn to know them and like them
YG is trying to push this inaccesible , luxury fashion on Blackpink by not letting them go on alot of variety show and appear on korean show, most of their activity when they are not performing is photoshoot, ads etc...
and let's not even talk about Lisa solo promo, she never appear in a variety show alone, YG give her solo schedules international or in china
that's why they only consider her as the foreigner girl from Blackpink and doesn't like her for who she is
Because YG is doing nothing to introduce her to the public as Lisa, or helping them to warm up to her
and YG need to fix this ASAP if he wants to really exploit the full potential that Blackpink can have in korea
