On September 11, 2024, BLACKPINK's Lisa's stage performance at the MTV Video Music Awards became the most-viewed in the award show's history on YouTube. It garnered over 4 million views despite facing lip-sync allegations and criticism for being ranked as one of the worst performances.

At the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards on September 11, BLACKPINK's Lisa debuted her solo performance, featuring her latest tracks, Rockstar and New Woman (feat. Rosalia). Subsequently, she received backlash from internet users and media outlets for allegedly lip-synching and a moderate performance.

The 27-year-old dropped Rockstar and New Woman (feat. Rosalia) on June 28 and August 16, 2024, respectively.


BLACKPINK's Lisa bagged the Best K-pop award despite the ongoing controversy

At the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards, the Thai singer achieved another feat, receiving the Best K-pop award for her digital single Rockstar. Despite the latest milestone, the female artist was criticized for her solo performance at the award ceremony.

Many fans mentioned that she should lip-sync for life, while others sarcastically passed the following remark:

"LISA lip sync was not in sync, she'll probably be the only performer that does not sing live tonight. Way to rep Kpop girlie."

Some users also stated that the female artist's performance was awful, and the songs were bad. They added that the wide camera angle shots could not hide that BLACKPINK's Lisa did not bother to move her mouth to lip-sync the tracks.

"The L in Lisa stands for "lip sunc." #VMAs", commented a user

Media outlets such as Billboard and The New York Post cited Lisa's MTV VMA stage performance as the worst at the 2024 award ceremony.

Referring to her as a "K-flop," The New York Post stated that the background dancers could not save the idol's face from pure cheesiness, which left everyone wondering how she got an invitation to the award show.

Meanwhile, the American media outlet Billboard released an article titled 'All the 2024 VMAs Performances Ranked from Worst to Best' on September 12, 2024. In it, the outlet ranked Lisa's performance at number 16 and stated that her stage was 'like a swing and a miss.'

However, media outlet Cosmopolitan ranked BLACKPINK's Lisa's MTV VMAs stage performance second in their latest article titled 'Presenting: The 3 Best 2024 VMAs Performances Ranked' on September 11, 2024.


BLACKPINK's Lisa was announced as the house ambassador for the French luxury fashion house Louis Vuitton.
