BLACKPINK's Lisa greets fans with a smile and a bow
BLACKPINK’s Lisa recently visited Paris, France, with fellow superstar BTS' V and Korean actor Park Bo Gum to attend the Celine Men’s Spring-Summer 2023 fashion show. She impressed everyone with her fashion-forward ensembles and adorable interactions at the brand’s after-party.
Now, the idol is being applauded for her courtesy and humble gestures as she greeted fans upon returning to South Korea. Styled in an all-black ensemble from Celine's latest collection, the BOOMBAYAH singer did a 90 degree bow to fans and media houses who were waiting outside for her.
Soon enough, pictures and videos of the BLACKPINK singer went viral on various social media platforms, with K-pop fans expressing their appreciation and respect for the famous rapper. They stated that Lisa’s sweet nature and humble character has remained the same despite her quick rise to fame.
There are many traditional norms in Korea that are easy to overlook in daily life when one lives in the country. However, slightly bowing to greet someone remains the most basic custom or etiquette that is expected of everyone.
Koreans bow when greeting someone for the first time or when they are meeting someone of higher social ranking. They also bow to their elders as a sign of respect, and the custom is deemed an act of courtesy as well.
In modern times, however, bowing in Korea is a part of everyday life. Sometimes, it is nothing more than a small gesture to go along with a "thank you" or an "excuse me" or a "sorry."
Koreans also bow in a formal setting. Idols bow when greeting their fans, the media, or any audience for that matter. Although many think of the tradition as unnecessary, it is an important sign of acknowledgement in Korea. Celebrities are no exception to this rule, and the way they treat fans, staff members and media often reveals their true nature.
It has been two years since BLACKPINK has released any music, barring solo projects by group members Rosé and Lisa. Fans have begun questioning the group’s agency, YG Entertainment, for its delayed response regarding the quartet’s comeback to the K-pop music scene.
