BLACKPINK's Lisa Refuses To Perform At Miss Universe 2025; Here's Why
Lisa's team explained the artist's fully booked calendar for the year prompted them to refuse the offer.
BLACKPINK artist Lisa’s fame has truly transcended boundaries, now bringing her global recognition as a solo artist and an actor with The White Lotus. Besides music, Lisa’s popularity also extends to fashion and endorsement, making her one of the most well-known members of the girl band. With that said, Lisa was recently even invited to perform at Miss Universe 2025—something that the idol has turned down.
According to a Koreaboo report, Nawat Itsaragrisil, the CEO of the Miss Universe Organisation, in a TikTok video, confirmed the news and revealed that Lisa was invited to perform at this year’s Miss Universe grand finale, which is set to take place in Thailand. The organisers were initially excited to bring the artist on board; however, discussions with her team were quite challenging. Despite multiple efforts for a negotiation, Lisa’s team refused the offer, citing scheduling conflicts, as the calendar for this year appears to be fully booked due to multiple projects.

As soon as the news came out, fans were quick to voice their support for the singer. While some praised Lisa’s idea of prioritising her musical career more than just focusing on other projects, others dubbed her decision as wise. One wrote, “It’s NOT a missed opportunity at all. Thank God she rejected it, and I hope she never associates herself with this mentally unstable guy," while another added, “I would have loved to see her performing in Miss Universe, but it’s a relief to us fans that we will be fed this whole year as she is already booked everywhere."
A section of users mentioned why Lisa should work with Miss Universe, with one of them writing, “I hope she will not accept the invitation; he is problematic."
Miss Universe 2025 will be held later this year at IMPACT Arena Muang Thong Thani. For Lisa on the work front, she recently performed solo at Coachella, where she delivered energetic performances on songs like Thunder, New Woman, LALISA, Moonlit Floor, Money, Born Again and Rockstar, among others.
