BLACKPINK’s Lisa Hit With Sexual Harassment Allegations — Here’s What’s Really Happening

After months, BLACKPINK just made the headlines teasing their new album release this year. Amid this, BLACKPINK’s Lisa got entangled in a controversy. Fans are blaming her of committing sexual harassment towards Kentaro Sakaguchi.

Lisa was recently spotted in a shared photograph with Sakaguchi from their BTS moments from their short film Dream. And that image with her co-star sparked debates in the social media realm.

Why Are Fans Expressing Outrage Over Lisa ’s Act Toward Kentaro Sakaguchi?

Japanese fans are accusing Lisa of harassing behaviour. But why?  Acclaimed Japanese actor Kentaro Sakaguchi has been starred opposite Lisa for an emotional and raw short film. While the themes of the film was about love and longing, an image of the two off the shoot sparked a buzz.

The image was shared by Lisa on her Instagram account. And in that image Lisa could be spotted biting the hand of Kentaro Sakaguchi. And this wasn’t a part of their shoot, rather was just a gesture off the screen. Lisa seemingly found it playful and shared it with fans.

While this image did appear playful to many, several fans from Japan criticised the act. Fans found it wrong and a few netizens even blamed it as sexual harassment towards Sakaguchi. One fan even tried to share their opinion by mentioning, “What if the roles were reversed?”. They probably hinted at how a male actor might have faced deeper criticism for a similar act.

While fans haven’t stopped bashing the BLACKPINK star, neither Lisa nor Kentaro Sakaguchi have shared their take on the matter after the intense debacle. The project Dream has created quite the hype among fans. But now with such a scenario going on, it is for time to tell how the future would turn out for their career and the short film.
