Lisa is one of the biggest stars in K-pop, thanks to Blackpink, one of the top Korean groups worldwide. Together with her members, Jennie, Jisoo, and Rosé, she has taken over the world of music with their rhythmic music and catchy tunes, easily filling huge stadiums with thousands of fans.
But last year, things changed when it came to contract renewal for the K-pop group, as all of them decided to take their solo careers into their own hands. Since then, Lisa has continued to expand her horizons and most recently made history when she performed at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. Set to make her acting debut inWhite Lotusseason 3, her incredible feats are the reason she has been included in Vanity Fair’s 2025 The Hollywood Issue.
K-pop Sensation Lisa Part of Vanity Fair’s 2025 The Hollywood Issue
A rapper, singer, and main dancer of the K-pop group Blackpink, Lisa is one of the most well-known Korean idols across the world. Apart from her constantly shocking and surprising feats with her group, which include several chart-topping hits, awards, world records, and more, Lisa has been tremendously successful in her solo ventures as well.

The singer took a big step last year when she and her fellow members decided not to renew their contracts with their agency, YG Entertainment, for solo activities and launched her own management company, LLOUD (viaForbes). While it was a huge risk, Lisa has consistently proven that she is every bit deserving of the fame and acclaim she has with her feats outside her K-pop group.
From successful brand partnerships to being the most followed female K-pop soloist on Spotify and crossing the one billion streams threshold on the platform as the first K-pop solo artist, Lisa is an unstoppable force (viaLife Style Asia). Now set to make her acting debut in the third season of the critically acclaimedWhite Lotus, it is a no-brainer that Lisa has been chosen among the likes ofNicole Kidman, Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, Glen Powell, and more as part ofVanity Fair’s 2025 Hollywood Issue.
Yet, not all fans are happy and some have been allegedly accusing her of using her rumored billionaire boyfriend Frédéric Arnault’s influence to get ahead in her career.
Lisa Accused of Nepotism Following Vanity Fair’s 2025 The Hollywood Issue
Lisa is a successful K-pop artist who has reached where she is today with her own hard work, pure dedication, and persistence. Since we all know how competitive the K-pop industry is, it is challenging to move ahead there without any ‘real’ talent and zeal, and takes an immense amount of courage to survive it.
All this time, the Korean idol hailing from Thailand has done it all with a smile, consistently reaching new heights and avenues with her unrelenting spirit. Yet, many have been accusing her of nepotism following her inclusion in Vanity Fair’s 2025 The Hollywood Issue. According to them, the singer is allegedly using her rumored boyfriend and the current CEO of LVMH Watches Frédéric Arnault’s assistance to get better opportunities in her career.
The White Lotus Season 3: K-Pop Phenomenon Lisa of BLACKPINK Joins HBO Series in Acting Debut Starring Patrick Schwarzenegger
Following her appearance in The Hollywood Issue with industry names like Nicole Kidman, Glen Powell,Zoe Saldaña, and Bill Skarsgård, this is how the Internet reacted:
Green eyed French guy likes to buy everything for her.. From awards to wigs 🤣there is no in between.
I live in Los Angeles, and HBO is not based in Hollywood. It’s based in Mahattan, NY. That Vanity Fair issue states clearly that it’s the Hollywood Issue. I understand they want to promote White Lotus Season 3 because Lisa is extremely popular but these are just facts. Facts…
Yes, she may have her influence but putting her there with those names is kinda irrelevant.Like putting celery in a basket full of fruits.
We’re all Lisa/Blackpink fans here but you can’t deny the nepo gf allegations here. The VS performance, the VF cover? That’s nepotism working, come on.https://t.co/IGdy1s779e
Literally why is Lisa in this line up??????? Other than her nepo gf status
Despite the criticism, Lisa has her fair share of defenders, many of whom cannot help but state that the entertainment world did not know much about Frédéric Arnault or his existence until rumors of his relationship with the K-pop star emerged. Even Radhika Jones, the Editor-in-Chief of Vanity Fair, during an interview withCBS Morning Plus, defended the K-pop star by stating that they wanted to introduce her in a new context even though she might not be as famous with the Hollywood audience.
Given the reactions and hate, Lisa has yet to remark on this whole fiasco and has instead been focusing on her career, enjoying this significant career milestone, just as she should!
