BLACKPINK’s Lisa recently delivered a series of dazzling performances at the iconic Crazy Horse Cabaret in Paris. While her artistic endeavor was met with applause and support, it also sparked controversy and diverse opinions regarding the nature of the show and its impact on younger audiences.
Facts and Controversies: BLACKPINK Lisa Performance at The Crazy Horse Cabaret
1. What is The Crazy Horse Cabaret?
Founded in 1951 by Alain Bernardin, Crazy Horse is a renowned cabaret known for its theatrical entertainment featuring singing, dancing, and more. It is famed for its mix of seduction and sophistication, presenting semi-nude performances that emphasize the artistic beauty of the dancers. Situated at 12 Avenue George V, Paris, it offers a spectacular view of the Eiffel Tower and Champs-Élysées.
2. Lisa wore modified outfits
Lisa underwent 4-5 outfit changes during her performance, each mirroring the essence of the dancers’ costumes but with modifications to maintain her modesty. For instance, she opted to wear a bra to avoid any exposure, ensuring that her attire was in line with her personal comfort and public image, while still harmonizing with the aesthetic of the show.

I had the opportunity and the fortune of seeing Lisa several times in these two years and tonight she had the same if not brighter light in her eyes that she usually has when she is on stage and performing, she was very happy, the biggest smile on her face 😭

7. The minor fans
Additionally, some netizens argue that by promoting a show that features explicit content, Lisa is potentially exposing her younger fanbase to inappropriate material. These reactions highlight ongoing debates about artists’ responsibilities towards their diverse and impressionable audiences, raising questions about cultural representation, artistic expression, and the impact of performers’ choices on fans.
In China, there was a minor who supported lisa to release her nude photos, so people were angry … and thought that this should not be what idol should do. She made many children realize the crazy horse show. I didn't mean anything by it.
