Recently, an article titled “I don’t want a private jet!!“… Who is the 20-something female singer who became a sudden success in Korea?” was published by the Korean news outlet Auto Tribune by reporter Kim Hae-mi. 

In this article, the luxury lifestyle of BLACKPINK’s Lisa was described in detail, and her assets, including (but not limited to) her supercars, house, and private jet, were listed. However, the entire article was shrouded in a rather mocking tone, leading to anger from fans and netizens alike.

Specifically, when talking about the appearance of the Kia Selto cars in Lisa’s photos, the reporter slammed the female idol for not actually buying the car and described some of her vehicles as “ordinary”, saying, “Lisa was the global promotional model for Seltos in February 2020. Of course, it is unlikely that Lisa, who was already quite successful at the time, would have purchased Seltos. However, she has been showing off relatively ordinary vehicles on Instagram, such as the Kia Carnival used as her schedule vehicle.

Criticizing comments about Lisa’s private jet usage were also made, such as, “Lisa frequently rides on private jets that even CEOs of large corporations are selling. Of course, it seems more like a measure to fit her schedule than to indulge in extravagance, but the frequency of private jet rides has become so frequent that it stands in contrast to the days when she used to fly economy class”.

Finally, the article listed how Lisa’s cars have become more luxurious, yet seemingly hinted at how she wouldn’t have been able to purchase them, saying, “Her cars have also changed. Rolls-Royce, Ferrari, Mercedes-Benz, and other expensive cars are all over her SNS. In particular, the recently released Ferrari Purosangue is a popular model that even Ferrari owners cannot purchase unless they are of a certain level, and the actual release price is 700 million won (approx 480,000 USD).”

The somewhat rude words of the reporter has since become a hot topic on Korean forum theqoo, with a related topic drawing almost 90,000 views. Most netizens left scathing comments criticizing the reporter and defending Lisa under this topic. 

Below are some comments from netizens:

  • Riding a private jet is something that can be criticized, but mocking Lisa for having multiple supercars just seems like an inferiority complex on the reporter’s behalf.
  • Lisa being successful is an undeniable fact, so why is it that the article seems to be mocking her for just living a luxury life she deserves?
  • Lisa’s lifestyle harms nobody, she’s just spending her own money, so what’s the problem?
  • The reporter is obviously jealous because they can never be as successful as Lisa
  • The inferiority complex is literally dripping through ever written word
  • What kind of article is this
