BLACKPINK's Lisa Faces Online Pushback Over 'Tarantino' Snippet Ahead of Release

Lisa is drawing a wave of online criticism after previewing her upcoming single "Tarantino," which is due out later this month.

Koreaboo reports that the teaser met heavy pushback from netizens after it went online. Some fans still praised the snippet's creativity.

The release date is set. LLOUD (@wearelloud) announced it on October 14 in a post reading "Tarantino. Out Oct 23." The post included pre-order and pre-save links along with hashtags such as #LISA_Tarantino and #LISA_PRESSPLAY.

Much of the criticism focused on the title. Some netizens pointed to what they described as the problematic nature of director Quentin Tarantino, and tied the name to other allegations about the people around Lisa.

One X user wrote that it was funny the title so closely matched the surname of a director they accused of using the N-word in nearly every film, "especially when she recently addressed her own scandal."

Other critics went after the music itself. Some argued that Lisa keeps putting out songs built on the same formula. One original poster said the track followed a "YG" structure, even though Lisa had recently criticized the company in comments in her documentary.

"Tarantino" comes out October 23.
