It all began when a post went viral which claimed Jisoo called Lisa “monkey” in a mean way linked to her Southeast Asian looks or skin colour. This made some netizens angry and ignited strong criticism towards the ‘Earthquake’ singer.
Following which, Blackpink fans, also known as Blinks, defended her right away. They said the short video clip was shared without proper context.
