On December 21st, Simu appeared on the red carpet of The 20th Unforgettable Gala, and mentioned BLACKPINK. The actor also answered to the media site NextShark, revealing that he had a hard time picking a favorite member within the group. 

A bias and bias wrecker. It’s definitely between Lisa and Jennie. I feel like I like both of them,” the actor excitedly said. In addition, he mentioned that upon seeing the group live, the group have got “such a swagger” and “ease on stage”, as well as “the ability to command a stadium of tens of thousands of people”. 

“Seeing the both of them, they’re just killer,” the “Shang-Chi” star added. 

Ultimately, however, Simu Liu decided on Lisa as his “bias”. As the actor himself is proficient at dancing, “dancing machine” Lisa makes for a suitable choice.
