The 97th Academy Awards took place on March 2, 2025. BLACKPINK member Lisa made history as the first K-pop act to perform at the Oscars. She, along with Doja Cat and Raye, performed a selection of songs in the James Bond Tribute segment.
However, several viewers were not pleased with Lisa's performance. While Lisa was accused of lip-syncing Live and Let Die, fans of the artist jumped in defense of the Thai singer. One of them wrote:
"You cannot lipsync in the Oscar's. It is not allowed, but since you hate lisa you make up things to defame her. I agree her festival performances were not upto par. But when credit is due, why not just give it? Lisa has never done anything bad to you personally."
