American media criticized the promotion of "The White Lotus" for taking advantage of Lisa's name even though the female idol only appeared briefly in this series.
The Hollywood Reporter recently published a review of season 3 of the TV series The White Lotus. In addition to compliments on the acting, the American newspaper also expressed dissatisfaction and harshly criticized the film's promotion by taking advantage of the actor's name. Lisa - member of BLACKPINK group.
Specifically, according to this newspaper, The White Lotus has a superficial approach to Thai traditions despite filming in this country and promoting the Thai setting heavily before the premiere. The crew even repeatedly mentioned Lisa's appearance as a TV actress. However, the truth is that the K-Pop idol's role is quite vague and only revolves around the "fragile love story" between her character and another employee at the resort.
Not stopping there, the article continued to criticize the film for not being able to highlight the Thai characters with the current plot. In the main rhythm of the film, there was almost no presence of the "youngest member" BLACKPINK even though she was recognized and praised for her acting potential.
Meanwhile, audiences have mixed opinions on Lisa's lackluster appearance. Some expressed outrage at the idol being used as a "PR stunt" for the film, but many others believe that this is a suitable role for her debut. Moreover, based on some initial reviews, it seems that the Thai star is perfectly suited for the role.
