Lisa's Appearance in the "Crazy Horse Show" and Its Far-Reaching ImpactLisa's Appearance in the "Crazy Horse Show" and Its Far-Reaching Impact

Whether you are an avid follower of entertainment news or not, many of you are likely to have heard, to some extent, about the news related to the "Crazy Horse Show" in 2023. Lisa, a Thai member of the renowned South Korean girl group BLACKPINK, performed five consecutive shows at the Crazy Horse Paris in France from September 28th to 30th, 2023. This event triggered a strong response and intense discussion worldwide.

After all, the Crazy Horse Show has long been known for its striptease performances, which conflict with traditional moral values and the innocent image of girl groups. As a top-tier idol, Lisa's decision to step onto this stage naturally sparked a debate about feminism and the male gaze. For a while, the focus of online discussions covered multiple aspects, such as the boundary between performing arts and pornography, female autonomy and objectification, idol image management, and commercial considerations, creating a lively atmosphere.

However, no matter how the media or Lisa herself tried to beautify her participation in this show, the majority of her fans clearly did not approve. Several major fan clubs of Lisa announced their closure as a form of protest. Especially on social media platforms in China and South Korea, many netizens and fans expressed their disappointment and anger. In their eyes, the nature of this performance, which caters to men and objectifies women, is undoubtedly a "fall" for a top-tier idol like Lisa to become a "striptease dancer." Of course, many people also interpret Lisa's adventurous "transformation" of participating in the show as an attempt to please the European and American markets as much as possible.

Regardless of the controversy, after this event was reported by the media as a "phenomenal incident," Lisa, as a singer, has completely transformed from a sweet and adorable K-pop idol into a sexy and avant-garde figure. She has become the first Asian artist to have over 100 million followers on Instagram. Her close interactions with the senior management of Louis Vuitton have also become the focus of public attention.

It is well known that the path of being an idol is not a long-term one. For many popular idols, participating in film and television works is an inevitable step in their transformation, allowing them to carve out a "career track" as an actor. This time, Lisa's "resource upgrade" is very obvious. Her first participation in a Hollywood production is the highly dramatic HBO top IP, The White Lotus, which is even more attention-grabbing than Lisa herself.
