BLACKPINK star Lisa has shared the first statement after receiving backlash over her Oscars performance.
The K-pop singer performed Live and Let Die in a James Bond tribute, joining Doja Cat, Margaret Qualley and Raye.
After her performance, netizens started criticizing her for using rumoured boyfriend Frédéric Arnault, CEO of luxury brand TAG Heuer, to get a ticket for the 97th Academy Awards.
Lisa took to Instagram and posted pictures from the “unforgettable night,” seemingly giving a message to her trolls that she does not care.
