On October 5, Lisa posted photos revealing her performance outfit and some behind-the-scenes photos of her performance at the Crazy Horse strip club in Paris, France. Lisa's outfits and expressions made audiences in China and Korea unhappy. They said that the Thai singer was tarnishing the image of an idol star and continuously called for a boycott of her.
Meanwhile, Lisa is still cheerful, interacting with fans on her personal page with more than 98.1 million followers. Her photos have received tens of millions of "likes" and hundreds of thousands of comments from fans around the world. Lisa's cheerful reaction has angered some viewers, even calling on Lisa to quickly give up the idol artist label.

Some comments on Naver (Korea) about Lisa's series of photos performing at a strip club: "I think these photos are too sexy to expose to young fans", "I think she can do whatever she wants but it's more appropriate to remove the Kpop idol label (Korean youth music), "She looks so happy. She must have forgotten that she is a Kpop idol", "No matter what, she should keep the image of a Korean idol"...
Some Chinese viewers commented that the Thai singer's series of photos were unartistic and offensive. They said that Lisa was deliberately provoking the online community.
At the time Lisa caused controversy on social media, the contract between the members of Blackpink and their management company YG Entertainment was still open. This made fans of the Korean group even more worried about Blackpink's future.
Before Lisa's 5 shows at Crazy Horse Club, the singer born in 1997 was said to have refused to renew her contract with YG Entertainment. She received many offers of cooperation from the US, Thailand and China. Lisa remained silent about this information.
In addition, according to Chinese media, two members of Blackpink, Jisoo and Jennie, also did not want to renew their contracts with YG Entertainment, and set up their own companies and manage their own artistic activities. Rosé is said to be the only member to continue to renew her contract with YG Entertainment.

Amidst the concerns of Blackpink fans, YG Entertainment said that they are discussing and will announce the results. However, for more than a week, the results of the contract renewal between Blackpink and YG Entertainment have not been revealed. Looking at the current situation, Blackpink fans are worried that the group's disbandment is inevitable.
Blackpink's refusal to renew their contract with YG Entertainment has made the Korean entertainment group's business more difficult. Data from the Korean stock exchange shows that after the news that Blackpink did not renew their contract, YG Entertainment's stock price fell sharply compared to the previous trading session. It is estimated that YG Entertainment lost about $100 million in market capitalization in just one day.
According to Naver, Lisa, Jennie, Jisoo, and Rosé cannot perform under the name Blackpink if they do not renew their contracts with YG Entertainment because the name is exclusively registered by the Korean entertainment corporation. Once they leave YG Entertainment, the members of Blackpink can only reunite and perform on stage with YG Entertainment's permission.
In addition, Korean media reported that Blackpink members may leave YG Entertainment to sign with other companies. The Black Label is said to be the next destination for the 4 girls in Blackpink. This is a company that cooperates with YG Entertainment and is headed by Teddy Park (the creator of Blackpink's excellent music).

According to Korean media, The Black Label was established in 2016 as a subsidiary of YG Entertainment. When The Black Label first debuted, YG Entertainment was the major shareholder, holding 45%, but now YG Entertainment's shares in The Black Label have decreased.
According to Naver, The Black Label is worth up to 1,000 billion won (more than 18,000 billion VND) and has become a competitor to YG Entertainment.
Currently, the members of Blackpink all have their own schedules after the Born Pink global tour ended in mid-September. In the face of speculation and curiosity from the media, the 4 girls of Blackpink have remained silent.
Blackpink officially debuted in 2016 with 4 members: Lisa, Jisoo, Rosé, Jennie. Lisa is the only foreign member in the group. The girl from Thailand has the largest fan base in the group.

After 7 years of operation, Blackpink has achieved many spectacular successes in music, fashion and become a globally famous Korean idol group.
At the beginning of the year, Blackpink was certified by the Guinness World Records Organization as the first Kpop girl group (Korean youth music) to reach No. 1 on the UK album chart, and the first Kpop girl group to top the Billboard album chart (USA).
According to Naver, Blackpink holds the record for the most subscribed band on YouTube. They have 5 MVs (music videos) with more than 1.3 billion views on YouTube.
The group's Born Pink global tour, which ran from October 2022 to September, grossed $265 million, making them the highest-grossing girl group in world music history.
