Lisa from BLACKPINK earned this recognition due to her valuable contributions to the Korean society and culture. Her achievements on various music charts also played a significant role in establishing her as a cultural icon.
Upon hearing this news, netizens had mixed reactions to Lisa’s recognition by the Asian Hall of Fame.
“An incredible joke! It’s as if there are no other artists with more reasons to be there than her.”
“What kind of culture is she promoting out there with her nearly naked performances on stage and as a lewd person in a strip club being celebrated, even after becoming a millionaire? She is clearly a music icon, but not a cultural icon at all. She doesn’t teach anything of value to her young fans to promote the Asian culture she was raised in.”
