In recent days, the K-Pop artist BLACKPINK Lisa‘s surprise fans from around the world by annuncing a new solo project, but the concept photos for ‘ROCKSTAR‘ spark blackfishing accusations and a great debate on social networks.
The idol gets attention for her complete look change in her new era, exposing a very rockstar style that is completely different from her previous group and solo projects, but by being her first release under her own label, ‘LLOUD‘, she has more freedom to experiment.

However, the style was not the only thing that changed, as some fans noticed a darker skin color, which generated debates about her real tone. As many debated whether Lisa was ‘blackfishing’, while some were defending her, others were accusing her of lying.
On social networks, some netizens said, “If kpop is whitewashing then Rockstar is also should be a blackwashing lol“, “If you see this and think she is not cosplaying black and hiphop women then I don’t know what to tell yah“, “Lisa i love you but isn’t this black fishing..“, “Yes she is SEA, but she’s not that dark like in the picture. She has lighter skin colour“, among others.

Kpop fans are so dumb. Yes she is SEA, but she’s not that dark like in the picture. She has lighter skin colour. https://t.co/93ksE58xwn
