BLACKPINK star Lisa continues to make waves globally as a solo artist, fashion icon, and rising actor with her role in The White Lotus. With her fame soaring, fans were recently surprised to learn that Lisa declined an invitation to perform at the Miss Universe 2025 grand finale.
Miss Universe CEO Confirms Lisa’s Rejection
According to a report by Koreaboo, Nawat Itsaragrisil, CEO of the Miss Universe Organisation, revealed in a TikTok video that Lisa had been invited to perform at the highly anticipated event, which will be held later this year at Thailand’s IMPACT Arena Muang Thong Thani. While the organisers were initially eager to have her onboard, negotiations with Lisa’s team proved difficult.

Her team ultimately turned down the offer, citing scheduling conflicts due to a packed calendar full of music and acting projects. Despite multiple attempts, a deal couldn’t be reached.
Fans React: Supportive and Divided Opinions
As soon as the news broke, fans took to social media to voice their support. Many praised Lisa for prioritising her career and staying focused. One fan wrote, “It’s NOT a missed opportunity at all… I hope she never associates herself with this mentally unstable guy,” referring to the pageant’s CEO. Others expressed relief that Lisa would be busy with other exciting projects.
However, a few fans were disappointed, saying it would have been great to see her perform at such a global platform, while others raised concerns over the controversies tied to the Miss Universe organisation.
