M’sian Singer Lee Pei Ling Feels Helpless As Comparisons With Blackpink’s Lisa Get Ugly Online
“She can become Lisa’s ‘replacement’ in China,” read one of the comments that has triggered Blackpink fans.
“She can become Lisa’s ‘replacement’ in China,” read one of the comments that has triggered Blackpink fans.
When we first wrote about Malaysian singer Jeryl Li Pei Ling looking like Blackpink’s Lisa, who knew the story would continue to trend?
Comparisons between the two have blown up on Weibo where Chinese netizens have accused Jeryl, 23, of ‘trying to look like Lisa” and that she can become Lisa’s “replacement” in the Chinese entertainment industry.
Naturally, Blackpink fans were not too amused by the chatter and came out to criticise Pei Ling for, um, following Lisa’s Instagram account.
Fans of Pei Ling then hit back online with one even commenting, “Who wants to be a stripper?”, alluding distastefully to Lisa’s much-talked about Crazy Horse performance.
When asked how she felt about the current arguments happening online, Pei Ling said her mood was not affected at all. However, the Sing! China finalist would go on to post on Instagram, “I am helpless! I am Li Pei Ling!”
“I rarely pay attention to this kind of thing or read any of the comments,” she said, adding that she is grateful for her fans and those who stood up for her.
“They are the ones who take note of who I truly am,” she said.
Comparisons between Pei Ling and Lisa became a major talking point when the former won Chinese singing competition The Next 2023 last month, coinciding with the announcement of the latter’s Crazy Horse performances.
