BLACKPINK's Lisa has been known for her love of Labubu dolls long before they became the popular collectible trend they are today. She's often credited by fans and collectors as one of the public figures who helped bring these unusual dolls into the spotlight. Whether it's through her personal posts or fan interactions, Lisa's attachment to Labubu has become something of a running joke among her fans, many of whom affectionately tease her for being 'obsessed' with the wide-eyed, scruffy-looking characters. Although the dolls themselves have received mixed reactions online, with some calling them 'ugly' or unsettling, Lisa hasn't shied away from showing her love for them.
However, a recent incident at BLACKPINK's DEADLINE concert in Goyang Stadium, Seoul has sparked mixed reactions online. During the show, a fan threw a Labubu doll toward Lisa, who briefly picked it up and tossed it back into the crowd. The moment was captured on video and has now gone viral across social media. While many fans defended the ROCKSTAR hitmaker, saying it seemed like a spontaneous response, others called her reaction rude, flooding the comments with criticism. Scroll ahead to watch the video.
Fans throw Labubu at Lisa; she tosses it back
Over the weekend, BLACKPINK lit up Goyang Stadium with two back-to-back shows that felt more like a MAMA stage than a typical concert, as fans described it. The events drew a star-studded guest list, with high-profile celebrities ranging from K-pop idols to actors and entertainers spotted in the crowd.
Despite being on hiatus for nearly three years, Jisoo, Jennie, Lisa, and Rosé reminded everyone why BLACKPINK remains one of the biggest girl groups in the world. Their recent shows delivered stunning visuals, high-energy performances, and the signature aesthetics fans have come to love.
However, one moment during the concert sparked conversation online. A fan threw a Labubu doll toward Lisa, who ran to pick it up, took a look at it, and quickly tossed it back into the crowd. The video of the moment has since gone viral, drawing mixed reactions.
Fans divided
While many fans defended Lisa and pointed out the safety risks of throwing objects on stage, others felt it was a sincere gesture from a fan who knew about her love for Labubu dolls.
"Rude, she just lost a fan," one user wrote, while another mentioned, "Her face reaction after doing that. Poor fan." "Nothing lasts forever, including fame, but people will forever remember your rudeness," one mentioned.
However, some fans noted that Lisa initially looked at the doll with affection, suggesting she may have noticed something unusual before deciding to toss it back. Others raised concerns about safety and privacy, pointing out that in the past, sasaengs have hidden cameras inside plush toys to secretly film idols—something that poses a serious invasion of their personal space.
