I've never been a fan of BlackPink, but I think that Lisa and Jennie are putting out significantly better music solo.
Lisa is an interesting one though because the conversation about her seems totally out of step with the facts. First, people saying that she isn't doing well... despite monster streaming numbers.
Secondly - and this is more subjective - all three of her singles were criticised, even though all three were as different could be. A common complaint was the lyrics, which I can't take seriously when the average k-pop song has a chorus that goes "click clack ratatata".
I dunno.
It just seems, at best, to be in a bad faith, like people are... salty? Ahead of time?
That's at best.
At worst, I have this nasty suspicion that k-pop fans sort of internalise the racial politics of South Korea and thus have some... extremely questionable attitudes towards Lisa.
Anyway, the baseless criticism she gets actually makes me really root for her.
