According to Thai media, Lisa's photo series received positive feedback from many celebrities in the land of golden temples. Lisa's two close sisters in the Thai entertainment industry - Thanaerng and Pimprapa Tangprabhaporn - and actor Utt Panichkul both admitted that Lisa's photo series was very artistic.
American singer and actress Sabrina Carpenter praised Lisa's dedication. The fact that artists responded positively and publicly praised Lisa's photoshoot at a time when Angelababy, Truong Gia Nghe and 3 members of Blackpink were criticized for attending Lisa's performance surprised many people.
Currently, on social media, there are two opposing opinions about Lisa's appearance during the performance at the Crazy Horse strip club. Some viewers commented that Lisa's appearance was bold but not too far-fetched.

Others expressed their disappointment that Lisa had broken the image and standards of a Kpop (Korean youth music) female idol. In particular, after Lisa posted a series of photos along with a statement that she was ready to return to Crazy Horse nightclub to perform when she had the chance, a wave of opposition from the Blackpink audience rose.
Female Kpop Artists Trying to Break the Norms
Kpop Industry Day is one of the days when the entertainment industry develops in the Asian region. Especially, with the popularity of many Korean idol groups in Europe and America, the influence of Kpop is increasingly strong.
To be as successful as it is today, the Kpop industry has gone through a long and increasingly professional development process. The Kpop industry has strict standards for idols. They are carefully selected for their appearance and talent, and undergo a rigorous training process.

Becoming famous, idol stars must comply with the company's rules such as not being allowed to date, having to maintain a public image, and having to maintain a clean, scandal-free lifestyle.
In public, they always smile, are full of energy, and are the dream of millions of young people around the world. However, that is only the external glamour, behind the stage, they have to face countless pressures and stresses. They have to live with loneliness, the desire to love and share but have no one to express it to.
Jennie (Blackpink member) once talked about the pressure of being a Korean idol: "The truth is, many personal aspects of me were restricted. There were many things I was not allowed to do just because I was a Kpop idol and I was very afraid to express myself."
In early 2023, Jennie appeared in the movie The Idol . This was her first time participating in a film project. However, Jennie's debut role received a lot of criticism from the public when she wore revealing outfits, performed provocative choreography, and said "hot" lines on screen.

"I wanted to express my personality more, but people saw it as breaking the mold. Now, I want to break more boundaries, to set a precedent for people in my culture, to prove that you can freely express what you want."
Crazy Horse Strip Club shared that Lisa accepted to perform at the strip club because she loves this type of thing. On her personal page, after 5 nights of performance, Lisa also admitted that she had great and memorable moments. The Thai singer wants to use her new image to change the audience's view of a female idol.
Jennie's sexy dance, participation in a movie full of "hot" scenes, or Lisa's performance at a strip club despite public criticism partly shows the desire of Korean female idols to "be themselves" and challenge themselves in a new field.

Not only Jennie or Lisa, the Korean entertainment industry also has many female artists who dare to go beyond their comfort zone to innovate. Rapper Jessi has openly talked about topics considered taboo in the Korean entertainment industry such as plastic surgery and mentioning women's bodies. However, she still has her own fan base without having to force herself to please everyone.
Former 4Minute member Hyuna has also caused controversy many times when posting different, sexy, and liberal fashion photos, far beyond the framework of a female idol. However, she still has a private audience who loves her unique freedom and sexiness.
Amber and Hyorin are successful Korean idols, but they do not adhere to the standards of the Korean entertainment industry. The two girls have different looks and a desire to express a message of honoring natural beauty, not falling into any stereotypes about clothing and appearance.
