Fans Dress Provocatively at Fan Meeting: Is Lisa a Negative Influence on the Youth?

On the evening of November 19, Lisa (BLACKPINK) held her fifth fan meeting in Hong Kong (China), concluding her Asian tour as a solo artist for the first time in her career. This project highlighted Lisa’s immense appeal in the Asian market, with all five fan meetings selling out—contrary to earlier rumors suggesting that she was boycotted and struggling with ticket sales.

However, the event was not without controversy. Lisa faced criticism for wearing bold and revealing outfits, which some argued set a “bad example” for fans. Many expressed concerns that her fans might imitate her and wear overly provocative outfits to future fan meetings.
At Lisa’s fan meetings, a special costume contest is held, giving fans a chance to impress and secure a spot among the Top 5 lucky audience members invited on stage. This has sparked a trend among Lisa’s fans to dress in unique and eye-catching outfits to stand out and gain the opportunity to interact with their idol. However, this has also led some fans to push boundaries, wearing bold and revealing outfits that many deemed inappropriate for a fan meeting setting.
Most recently, at the fan meeting in Hong Kong (China), a female fan “cosplayed” Lisa’s look from the VCR introducing her new album ALTEREGO. This particular outfit had already sparked controversy when first showcased, as it featured a tight-fitting design with side cut-outs running along the hips, which drew criticism for being overly revealing and provocative.
When a fan recreated this look, it reignited heated debates on social media. Many argued that Lisa’s choice of attire encouraged a suggestive and provocative fashion trend, making her a target of further criticism for allegedly “promoting” such styles among her fans.


Earlier, on the evening of November 13, Lisa hosted a fan meeting in her hometown of Thailand. At that time, a viral image circulating online shows two fans cosplaying Lisa, inspired by her angelic look at the Victoria’s Secret show. These fans didn’t just wear angel wings but also went all out by wearing lingerie to the event. Their bold outfit choices made them the center of attention at Lisa’s fan meeting.

The image of the two fangirls wearing lingerie at Lisa’s event has drawn mixed reactions, even sparking a new controversy involving Lisa herself. Critics argue that Lisa’s fan meeting wasn’t a costume party, and wearing lingerie with overly provocative poses was inappropriate. Many believe the image was too offensive, holding Lisa accountable as someone who “inspired” such behavior.
Meanwhile, on the evening of November 11, Lisa kicked off her Asia-wide fan meeting tour in Singapore. In particular, prior to the “ROCKSTAR” performance, a VCR (video clip played during intermissions between songs) was shown on the LED screen, featuring previously unreleased footage of Lisa promoting her ROCKSTAR stage. In the video, Lisa is shown in a mystical setting with a striking ponytail and a fierce “rock-star expression”. She wore an outfit with a modest front but daringly cut-outs on the sides, accentuating her curves, height, and perfect body proportions.

So far, the outfit sparked controversy, with some viewers criticizing it as overly revealing and inappropriate. Images from the video, now circulating widely on social media, even led to comparisons to Lisa’s performance at the Crazy Horse cabaret due to the boldness of her attire. Moreover, due to the presence of young fans at the fan meeting, some found the outfit unsuitable for the event.

On the other hand, some argued that this bold cut-out style was a popular fashion trend back in 2016, and added that many artists had donned similar outfits. Since the outfit was shown in a VCR, not on stage, it was seen as acceptable by some fans. Others pointed out that this was a fan-oriented event, and most criticism came from anti-fans, contrasting sharply with the excited reactions of BLACKPINK’s fanbase during the event.
