‘So you know Blackpink, but not Lisa?’: Bong Joon-ho cops flak from Thai fans
South Korean director Bong Joon-ho is facing criticism from some Thai netizens who accuse him of "racial discrimination" against Blackpink member Lisa. This stems from a recent interview where he named Rose, Jisoo, and Jennie as his favorite Blackpink members, seemingly omitting Lisa.
The interview, conducted by BuzzFeed Celeb as part of promotions for Bong's new film *Mickey 17*, featured a lighthearted "puppy interview" format. While many were surprised by Bong's familiarity with Blackpink, some Thai fans interpreted his failure to mention Lisa as a slight, sparking accusations of racial bias. Bong has previously mentioned Blackpink in other interviews, even referencing them in connection with a martial law declaration by President Yoon Suk-yeol.
