Part 6/12:
One of the most contentious moments involved K-pop sensation Lisa, who was embroiled in controversy over her choice of outfit. Her ensemble featured embroidery of Rosa Parks—a revered Civil Rights icon—on her crotch area, which many found highly offensive. Critics perceived her clothing as a satirical or disrespectful apology for previous controversies involving her use of racial slurs.
While some argued that putting Rosa Parks on a jacket or shirt could be acceptable, placing her image on underwear was widely condemned as disrespectful and dismissive of her legacy. Lisa’s apparent indifference—eschewing apology or remorse—did little to quell the outrage.
