BLACKPINK’s Lisa is making headlines for her bold and provocative performance during the group’s latest concert.
From Saturday to Sunday (local time), BLACKPINK held its “DEADLINE World Tour” concerts at the Stade de France in Paris, kicking off the European leg of their tour.
Following the show, Lisa shared a post on her social media on Aug. 5, writing, “Starting off the Europe tour strong in Paris,” along with a series of stage photos.
In the photos, Lisa is seen commanding the stage in a striking outfit featuring hot pants and a cut-out bodysuit. Her toned abs and long legs captivated not only fans but also the general public.

Lisa fully embodied the bold and confident concept of the show, exuding charisma as a true queen of the stage. Her high-energy performance alongside backup dancers showcased the tight choreography and powerful presence that define K-pop’s global appeal.
However, the performance has also drawn some criticism. During her solo stage, Lisa performed a sensual routine with male backup dancers, and some viewers took issue with her revealing attire.

Online reactions have been divided. Supporters commented, “Lisa has always had sexy performances — what’s the problem?” “This stage truly showed Lisa’s unique style,” and “She was absolutely captivating.” Others voiced concern, writing, “You can see too much,” “Lisa’s outfits are getting more revealing,” and “The R-rated choreography went too far.”
Concerns have been amplified by the fact that the Paris concert was open to audiences of all ages, raising questions about whether such suggestive performances are appropriate in a family-friendly setting.
Meanwhile, BLACKPINK is currently on their world tour, with upcoming stops in Paris, Milan, Bangkok, and other cities across Europe and Asia.
