When the news was revealed, netizens seemed to criticize the decison, claiming the idol had got the performance through nepotism.

Lisa's nepotism goes crazy. She will be performing on Oscars an unknown song that isn't even related not only to any nominated body of work, but also to any movie in general. Billionaire boyfriend presents again https://t.co/dkaCYwI2jr

One viral tweet even claimed that the performance was due to LMVH being a sponsor of the event because Lisa is allegedly dating Frederic Arnault. Yet, it was quickly hit with major backlash as it was revealed that the poster was from the event the previous year rather than the one Lisa would be performing at.

Oscar is sponsored by LVMH founded by Arnault family.

It led to netizens hitting back at all the hate Lisa has been receiving, defending the idol from the criticism and the decision for her to perform at such a huge event.

Sometimes I understand why people who hate Lisa hate, she’s from Thailand, she left her mark on the kpop industry and now she’s busy taking the whole world by storm, if my idol wasn’t like Lisa, I’d probably get jealous and become her hater :) https://t.co/T4oKZwX5yz

I mean, who told Lisa haters that to perform at the Oscars you need a Grammy? It’s really strange that every time Lisa achieves something the word “NEPOTISM” exists for them, I’m just tired, she will continue to succeed and her haters will continue to hate while they watch her. https://t.co/sdPLDrjpqt

They are too angry because their favorite failed in an incredible way as a soloist, they waited too long and her numbers are getting worse. 😭😭😭😭 Anyway, Lisa will perform at the Oscars + Coachella.

The real reason why y’all hate on Lisa is because everyone knows that your faves will never be able to reach her level https://t.co/gocsi5GhL3

Lisa is part of one of the biggest groups in the world and has cemented her dominance as a solo star, so netizens think it isn’t surprising that she is being chosen to perform at such prestigious events.
