In a recent article, a journalist spoke about the luxury of Lisa’s lifestyle, seeming to discredit the details in her social media posts. The title made it seem like Lisa would only use private jets, speaking about her “skyrocketing” success.

At the start, they spoke about the presence of the Kia Seltos in her photos but hit back that she didn’t purchase one and compared it to other posts.

Lisa served as the global promotional model for the Kia Seltos in February 2020. Of course, given that she had already achieved considerable success at the time, it is unlikely that she actually purchased a Seltos. However, she has showcased relatively ordinary vehicles on Instagram, such as using a Kia Carnival as a schedule vehicle.

The writer also spoke about Lisa’s “private” jet experiences.

Lisa frequently flies on private jets, which even major conglomerate owners are selling off. While this seems to be more about managing her schedule than indulging in luxury, the drastic increase in her private jet usage contrasts sharply with the days when she used to fly economy.

The article then spoke more about cars, and as Lisa has posted with high-end cars, they seemingly hinted that Lisa wouldn’t have been able to buy it.

Her choice of cars has also changed. Her social media is filled with high-end vehicles such as Rolls-Royce, Ferrari, and Mercedes-Benz. In particular, the Ferrari Purosangue she recently acquired is a highly sought-after model, available only to select Ferrari owners who meet specific criteria. The actual purchase price of this model reaches approximately ₩700 million KRW (about $487,000 USD).

Yet, while the journalist might have thought their words would go down well, the article was blasted by Korean netizens who insulted the writer and defended Lisa with her success.
