Did BLACKPINK's Lisa admit that "she can't sing"? Details explored as viral claim sparks criticism

On Thursday, March 6, clips from BLACKPINK's Lisa's guest appearance on the Jimmy Kimmel Show landed on the internet. During the show, the idol talked about several things related to her solo career, especially surrounding the recent release of her first studio album, Alter Ego.

At one point, the K-pop idol talked about the karaoke session she had with the cast members of the recent American series she starred in, White Lotus season 3. She talked about how it was weird for her to grab a mic and sing amidst her co-stars, especially since she's a singer and the other cast members are actors.

However, this comment was taken out of context, and a trimmed video of the talk show moment made the rounds on the internet. This edited clip was presented in a way that it looked like the idol was admitting that she can't sing and doesn't like to sing in general.

This controversy was further ignited when the alleged boyfriend of Lisa, Frederic Arnault, reportedly copyrighted the clip in order to prevent it from spreading across the internet. Regardless, given that the claims made by netizens were wrong, many fans came to the idol's defence.

Here are a few fan reactions following the viral claim sparking criticism:

"So why did you cut the video to fit your own narrative? You guys really can’t live without lying." shared a netizen

"OMG ? What has she done to y’all,ilike ok you don’t think it’s fair that she gets so many opportunities but the hate is getting weird seriously" said a fan on X

"They want to hate her so bad." added another fan

"It’s literally a cropped video" commented a netizen

More fans and netizens talked about how they were frustrated with the false claims circulating across the internet.

"Their hate is so forced that they try to make her look bad in a stupid way and they believe it." stated a fan

"literally not what she said in the video" added an X user

"There's definitely a big name behind Lisa's everyday hate train. Like everything she said is wrongly fabricated yet would gain thousands and even millions of interactions." said a netizen

"not even a fan of lisa but the hate she’s been getting esp post YG has gotten so bad i feel so bad for her. this video is maliciously taken out of context. they were talking about singing KARAOKE with the cast" commented another X user
