Is BLACKPINK's Lisa Behind The Labubu Trend? Deets Inside
Lisa has been frequently spotted with the viral Labubu plushies, making the dolls even more popular.
A big head, sharp teeth, large eyes and those fuzzy outfits—this is what the internet is obsessed with. While the Labubu dolls might appear creepy to some, others have found them quite endearing, resulting in global popularity. The dolls have lately become a favourite among fashion lovers and influencers, who want to do anything to collect them. And we have the likes of Dua Lipa, Kim Kardashian, David Beckham, Rihanna and now BLACKPINK's Lisa onboard the newest obsession.
Lisa has been largely credited for starting the Labubu craze, owing to her appearances with plushies of the collectible toy as well as a smaller bag chain. Renowned fashion magazines like Vogue Italia and Teen Vogue have also highlighted the role of Lisa in popularising the Labubu plush toys, leading to a surge in demand and establishing it as a cultural icon.

Originally created by Kasing Lung, who earlier had a modest fan base, saw a rise in his dolls' popularity after Lisa's enthusiastic and visible endorsements. The idol made frequent appearances with Labubu-themed merchandise and various accessories in public outings, social media posts, live performances and even fan meets.

As per Vogue Italia, Lisa's global influence transformed Labubu from a niche item to an international phenomenon, which has now been embraced by fans and fashion lovers alike. 'Lisa has an instinctive ability to spot and amplify niche trends," the magazine notes.
just lisa never beating the labubu enthusiast allegations
Likewise, Teen Vogue also stressed Lisa's role in shaping global youth culture, adding that her way of promoting Labubu plushies encouraged her fandom, elevating the doll into a symbol of creativity and self-expression.
It is worth mentioning that the BLACKPINK star has herself admitted to being obsessed with the Labubu dolls. Previously, in a conversation with Variety, she said, 'I can't stop talking about Labubus. I've been going crazy for them for almost a year, but now I can't really get a new Labubus. They're really hard to find. I'm kind of sad."

Noting that she has about three or four dolls in her collection, Lisa wishes to have an entire box filled with them, including one based on her own personality that she believes would blow up the Internet. With that said, with Labubu dolls getting immensely popular, one can directly purchase them from the monsters from Pop Mart, their official Amazon store, or major retailers. The unique design and growing fan base have also resulted in counterfeit versions flooding the market.

Avatar 3 trailer is immaculate and overwhelming and I know we've got a masterpiece incoming. the only thing that sort-of makes me nervous is that I think for general audiences this teaser is very much going to play as 'just more The Way of Water stuff"— Houston Coley (@artwithinpod) July 25, 2025 The trailer, which was first shown to industry insiders at CinemaCon in April, returns audiences to the breathtaking world of Pandora. It introduces two new Na'vi clans –the Wind Traders and the Fire People. The Wind Traders are seen soaring through the skies in balloon-like airships, while their adversaries, the Fire People, command flying beasts into battle. A dramatic clash unfolds between the two tribes, with one Na'vi struck by a flaming arrow. In the trailer, Sam Worthington's Jake Sully is heard telling his wife Neytiri (played by Zoe Saldaña), 'We cannot live like this, baby. We cannot live with this hate." The storyline picks up after the events of Avatar: The Way of Water, which saw Jake and his family seek refuge with the Metkayina, an ocean-dwelling Na'vi clan, as they battled against the human-run Resources Development Administration (RDA). In this new chapter, the narrative shifts to a rift within the Na'vi themselves, as the Ash People – a rebellious faction – turn against Jake's tribe and their sacred traditions. With both Avatar (2009) and The Way of Water (2022) surpassing $2 billion at the global box office, the franchise already boasts the first and third highest-grossing films of all time. If Fire and Ash follows suit, Avatar could become the first film series with three entries each crossing the $2 billion mark. Avatar: Fire and Ash is slated to hit cinemas on December 19, 2025, with two additional sequels already scheduled for December 21, 2029 and December 19, 2031. view comments First Published: July 25, 2025, 21:38 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Musk posted simply: "we're bringing back Vine, but in AI form." This means the new Vine will use artificial intelligence, so it will be different from the original Vine. Musk had talked about wanting to bring Vine back before, asking users on X in 2022 if they wanted it to return.
