In addition, her “crystal tears” makeup look also draws a lot of attention.
Netizens also discover that Lisa’s rap part is an interpolation of Rihanna’s song “Pon de Replay”. The lyrics were also changed from “it goes one by one even two by two” to “one by one then two by two”.
According to YG Entertainment, this comeback of BLACKPINK is the most expensive the company has ever one. Back on August 17th, they also changed billboards from all around the world into “Pink Venom” posters.
