On February 25, 2025, the official account @TheAcademy reported that the 97th Academy Awards (Oscars) confirmed that BLACKPINK's Lisa, Doja Cat, and RAYE will not be performing Born Again at the ceremony. The Oscars is to be held on March 2, 2025.
The Academy tweeted on X:
"Not "Born Again!" But still legendary. Stay tuned."
Trending
Fans noted that the Academy Awards did not entirely refute reports of the BLACKPINK idol's performance. Hence, fans speculated about the song Lisa could perform at the event. This could make her the first K-pop idol to perform on the Oscars stage.
Fans took to social media and discussed if Lisa would perform one of the songs from her upcoming debut solo album, ALTER EGO. The album is set to be released on February 28, 2025.
However, a few wondered if it would be a collaboration performance with other artists. One fan wrote on X:
"This better not be an emilia perez song"
Fans mentioned how the BLACKPINK rapper is on a "whole different level."
"I need K-pop stans to stop comparing their fav to LISA. She’s on a whole different level," a fan wrote.
"Album release coming up, bought a new ferrari, performing at the oscars, everyone loving her acting, coachella, world tour…… buying 500K likes for a hate tweet is not working on her," another fan wrote.
"Read this tweet three times cause they said lisa, doja and raye’s performance is going to be a “celebration of cinema” LIKE DO YALL KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS??? OMFG," another fan added.
Others highlighted how the Thai rapper has been breaking boundaries ever since she launched her own label, LLOUD, and embarked on her solo artistry.
"I just love the fact that people are dying to hate on lisa but she keeps on winning, I love that for her," a fan commented.
"Victoria's Secret and now OSCARS??? Lisa is truly breaking K-Pop boundaries," another fan remarked.
"I told ya'll she doesn't roll like that usual kpop flow you want her to do. She goes BIG so be patient always (a true Lilie is, you're not a Lilie if you're not) because damn THIS and all the other moves she's making are really BIG promos. I love being a #LISA stan so much!" another fan added.
