BLACKPINK's Lisa holds the distinguished title of being the global ambassador for luxury labels Bvlgari and Celine. However, posts and images featuring Lisa have been removed from the brands' Weibo accounts.
Previously, the abrupt removal of Lisa’s Weibo account had raised eyebrows. There were speculations that the deletion might be connected to Chinese restrictions on the promotion of lewd and indecent performances. This controversy came at the heels of Lisa's performance at the Parisian cabaret 'Crazy Horse' in September, prompting questions about potential conflicts with the Chinese platform's content standards.
In the wake of Lisa's Weibo account deletion, it was noticed that Bvlgari and Celine - the brands Lisa represents - also started removing all images and posts related to her from their Weibo pages.
As of now, there is no official statement or explanation from Bvlgari and Celine regarding the removal of Lisa's content from their Weibo accounts.
Korean netizens commented, "She got what she asked for," "I think it wasn't as much a big controversy since Lisa's a foreign star," "China is so strict," "Weibo probably warned those brands to remove the content or else," "She shouldn't have performed at the strip club," "She got herself in this situation," and "You reap what you sow."
They probably didn't have any choice if they want to keep selling to the wealthy Chinese. . I wonder how big their sales are in China anyway? Are the Chinese allowed to flaunt luxury western brands? Shouldn't that be frowned upon as unpatriotic or something?
is it really this deep?
