BLACKPINK’s Lisa is drawing attention after her major performance at the 2026 FIFA World Cup opening ceremony, but not only for her stage.
On June 12, Lisa performed at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles for the 2026 FIFA North and Central America World Cup opening ceremony.
She performed “Goals”, a track from the official album, alongside Brazilian pop star Anitta and Nigerian artist Rema.
Lisa impressed global viewers with her powerful performance and strong stage presence. However, after clips and behind the scenes photos from the event spread online, some netizens began talking about her appearance.
Some online users claimed that Lisa looked different from before, with comments such as, “Her features look more defined,” and “Her side profile looks different”.
A few people also raised speculation about her nose after comparing close up shots from the World Cup stage with her recent social media photos.
However, many others disagreed and said the change could simply be due to makeup, lighting, hairstyle, or camera angles.
Comments included, “It looks like makeup and lighting,” “Her image changes depending on styling,” and “Photos can make people look different”.
Lisa has often shown different looks through various concepts, makeup styles, and stage outfits, so some fans believe the discussion is only about styling changes.
Despite the online speculation, Lisa’s World Cup opening ceremony performance once again proved her global influence as a K-pop female artist.
