BJ DDDD Is Called Out By BLACKPINK Fans For Unequal Behaviors Towards Lisa
HINA
Is it appropriate or just the fans being sensitive?
BJ and YouTuber, DDDD just took to his Instagram account to post a photo he took with BLACKPINK on the set of a game show called FUN MATCH.
The photo shows DDDD posting with members, Jennie, Jisoo, and Rose, but Lisa wasn't in the photo.
The BJ later went on to explain the reasons why for BLACKPINK's main dancer's absence.
"We took a sudden group photo during break, but I was sad because Lisa was not there at the time… I’m a huge fan of yours, too, Lisa." - DDDD.
Despite his explanation of what happened, some netizens began coming after DDDD for excluding Lisa.
They questioned whether he was being r.a.c.i.s.t and treating her differently in comparison with the other three members of the group.
"Are you being r.a.c.i.s.t?"
"Did you discriminate against her on purpose?"
"Why are you only h.a.t.i.n.g on Lisa?"
DDDD is a popular BJ and YouTuber who recently got involved in a dating rumor with singer, Ailee.
The comment section on DDDD’s most recent post has been turned off.
What do you think about this issue?
Not to mention that DDDD posted the photo intentionally but there was one time that articles about Lisa being treated unequally because of her "non-Korean" nationality were all over the streets, from the way she was styled with "misunderstanding outfits" to little lines and screen times. Therefore, some simple issue could be taken more seriously if it is too sensitive and related to a controversy matter before.

In particular, when BLACKPINK members met with the baby panda, they were wearing protective gloves, masks and suits at all times, and we would like to stress again that between each scene, we underwent hands and shoes disinfectants.
Nevertheless, after taking into consideration recommendations by panda conservation experts and the practice of international cooperation that ‘non-experts coming into close contact with baby pandas can cause various misunderstandings,’ we decide to postpone the release of the related video.
We would like to thank you for all the concerns you showed, and we ask for your unwavering interest and affection for BLACKPINK as well as pandas.”
