On August 28, BLACKPINK made history at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards. There, the group won the "Best Metaverse Performance" award, and Lisa won the "Best K-Pop" award.

The group also shut down the internet when they played their pre-single "Pink Venom" live. Social media was buzzing about the group's performance because of how good their singing was.

But it looks like the American news outlet Variety wasn't impressed and magazine published an article that talked about the best and worst parts of the award show.

The article said that BLACKPINK was lip-syncing, and it said that it was one of the worst parts of the night.

On that day, a post about BLACKPINK began trending on Instiz's community board under the title, "Even now, there are articles about BLACKPINK lip-syncing in other countries".

The netizen who posted wrote, "They could have done just as well if they had performed live, so why do they insist on lip-syncing?".

Other netizens quickly responded with comments such as:

ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I can't help but laugh.

Pffff.

Huh? It was totally live though….?? You could even hear them touching their mics.

It was straight up live?

Jennie was criticized for getting her lyrics wrong, and now they don't like them because they lip sync ㅠ.

They did perform live though? Shouldn't Variety apologize….? They even called them 'repeat offender'…

Isn't Variety quite a reputed outlet? I don't know who to believe…

Why is Variety putting out articles saying they lip-synced when it was clear it was live??????

No but anyone could tell it was live..

It was live.

What are your thoughts on the post about BLACKPINK?

Former S.E.S member Shoo (Yoo Soo Young) warmed hearts as she shared a touching moment with her twin daughters—taking them to the same wholesale market where she once worked during a difficult time in her life.

On May 8, Shoo posted several photos on Instagram showing her spending time with her twin daughters, Ra Hee and Ra Yul, at the Dongdaemun wholesale market. In the caption, she wrote, “Did everyone enjoy the holiday? I feel like I made a memory I’ll never forget for the rest of my life.”

The photos showed Shoo and her daughters smiling brightly while eating and shopping together. Her daughters, now visibly grown up, were even seen wearing similar shoes and clothes as their mom.

Shoo opened up about a painful chapter in her past. “When I was struggling, I once sold clothes I got from Dongdaemun with the help of a friend,” she shared. “I used to go there from night to early morning, picking up fleece clothes, hairpins, and shoes, thinking, ‘My kids would love this if I brought them here.’”

Now that her daughters are older, Shoo finally fulfilled that dream. “We laughed so much while shopping. We bought hairpins, socks, and clothes together,” she said. “They’ve grown so much—they can even wear the same things as me.”

Reflecting on the experience, she added, “Memories of my past flashed before my eyes. I told them how I used to work late at night, carrying heavy bags and walking around for 10 hours straight.”

Shoo emotionally concluded, “I was so happy to show my kids the nighttime world I once worked in.”

Fans who remember Shoo’s twins from The Return of Superman were touched to see how much they’ve grown. Shoo, now a proud mom of three, continues to update fans through her TV appearances and social media, showing her strength as both a mother and former idol.
