Blinks know that Lisa deserves nothing less than the very best, even if it is just a cake. Ahead of her 26th birthday, BLACKPINK‘s Lisa is spending her next milestone in the Philippines, where the girl group will be holding their upcoming concert in March, part of the BLACKPINK world tour.
As a courtesy of the Filipino fanbase, Blackpink PH on Twitter was organizing a birthday cake with three layers, each representing a quirk related to the rapper. Although initially proposed with good intentions, several factors have caused fans’ wrath. Apparently, the fanbase wished to make the cake with only a $90 budget, and include details as a nod to all the members. Many have called out the organization for not focusing on Lisa as the birthday girl.
While trending “BLACKPINK PH SCAMMER,” and “Lisa deserves better,” on the social media platform, Blinks also called out the organizers on several other issues. In addition to the cake design not being focused on Lisa, some fans are also expressing their anger regarding the cost of the cake, since it allegedly will have a much lower budget than initially anticipated. It appears that a fundraiser was made to create a larger budget that would increase the quality of the cake— however, the budget stayed under $90.
Much like any fanbase, BLACKPINK’s only wish for fair treatment for everyone. A fan has even pointed out the several instances in which Lisa has been left out of collaborations. While this is a normal occurrence in K-Pop, many have clearly noticed a pattern when it comes to the Thai dancer, hopping on to defend her on social media — and understandably so.
BLACKPINK PH has since dropped the project, leaving it in the hands of other Filipino fanbases, who are now attempting to make amends regarding the situation. Lisa will be celebrating her birthday on March 27, while in the Philippines — perhaps with one less cake in the mix.
