Lisa, the global superstar from BLACKPINK, is facing significant backlash after being featured in Vanity Fair’s “The Hollywood Issue 2025”. This prestigious annual edition celebrates the biggest names in film and entertainment, spotlighting stars who have made a major impact on the industry. This year’s list includes legends like Zendaya, Nicole Kidman, and Zoe Saldaña. However, Lisa’s inclusion has raised eyebrows, as her fame primarily stems from music, not acting.
A Surprising Inclusion
The Hollywood Issue has long been a prestigious platform for actors who have shaped the entertainment world. Since 1995, Vanity Fair has selected influential talents to appear in this special edition. All honorees typically have a significant film or television career. However, Lisa is just beginning her acting journey, with no major acting credits to her name. Her role in The White Lotus is her first major project, still awaiting its debut. This has led many to question whether Lisa truly belongs on this prestigious list, with some suggesting that her celebrity influence might have secured her place over acting achievements.
Criticism and Controversy
Social media has been abuzz with criticism, as fans and critics alike express their doubts. Some argue that Lisa’s presence in the Hollywood Issue feels out of place given her limited acting experience. Others have raised questions about her relationship with billionaire Frédéric Arnault, speculating that his influence may have played a role in securing her feature in both the magazine and The White Lotus. With no significant acting career yet, some critics accuse Lisa of using her celebrity status to “buy” her way into Hollywood recognition, which only fuels the controversy.
The Future of Lisa’s Acting Career
Despite the backlash, Lisa’s influence in entertainment is undeniable. As a member of BLACKPINK, she has broken numerous records, and her solo career continues to soar. Her acting debut in The White Lotus is highly anticipated, and many are eager to see if she can prove her critics wrong. If her performance shines, Lisa could easily silence doubts about her transition from music to acting.
While her place in The Hollywood Issue remains controversial, Lisa’s journey in Hollywood is just beginning—and all eyes will be on her next steps.
