On June 28, BLACKPINK’s Lisa officially released her solo comeback MV, “ROCKSTAR”. Despite achieving impressive milestones, the release has faced significant controversies, including a recent plagiarism accusation.
Amidst the controversy, however, fans recently spotted Lisa making an unexpected visit to a Pop Mart store, a famous toy brand.
This seemingly ordinary image caused a section of fans to “scorn” Lisa. In particular, they pointed out that Lisa once caused the price of a Pop Mart toy to increase by 400% and sell out everywhere, and is likely to do this again with her latest shopping trip.
Due to this, many comments below the post are praying that Lisa does not post any pictures with toys from this brand on social media, out of fear that their favorite toys would become too expensive and unattainable.
Previously, Lisa posted a picture of herself with The Monsters’ Macaron collection, the most popular set of this art toy series. Thanks to the rapper’s photo, Labubu, which was already popular, became even more in demand, with everyone wanting to have a “cheap moment” with Lisa.
After her “unintentional flexing,” Lisa started a trend of buying Labubu as decorative accessories. As a result, the prices on e-commerce platforms for Labubu soared by up to 400%. Even when the brand’s website displayed “sold out,” people were willing to bid to own the same toy as the idol.
