On September 11 (local time), Lisa attended the 2024 VMAs and performed her hit songs “New Woman” and “Rockstar.” Dressed in a stunning red outfit, it’s not surprising that Lisa captured the hearts of netizens worldwide with her powerful and impactful performance.

However, after the performance, Lisa was hit with criticism from locals (non-K-Pop fans) who accused the idol of lip-syncing throughout the performance. Many took to social media to share their criticism, which ranged from genuinely wondering why she wasn’t singing live to much harsher comments. The tweets also received high engagement.

Is anyone teaching these new kids how to actually lip sync? This Lisa chick looked a solid second off behind the live track lol #VMAs pic.twitter.com/JWRmTvlkUA
