Lalisa Manobal, is best known as Lisa, a singer and a member of the Blackpink, the world-famous South Korean girl group formed by YG Entertainment.
Young and talented, it's obvious that whatever she does is documented by either herself or her agency, or by the media that are always at her trail.
And this is what exactly happened when she was in Thailand.
During a photoshoot at a retro-themed MQQN Cafe in Bangkok, she shared the photos with her millions of followers on Instagram.
Fans couldn't be happier.
But apparently, at least someone had an ill intention towards the celebrity.
Masse Jacop, the owner of MQQN Cafe, made use of his café new-found fame, by promoting it even more.
Nothing unusual here, until Masse began selling items that had contact with Lisa.
The items include the sofa and table, the glass she used when drinking, the cutlery that include spoons and knives she ate with, as well as napkins she used to clean her face and lips.
It even include the leftovers of what she ate, and a toilet seat that Masse claimed Lisa had used during her visit to the café.
Masse was auctioning the items on Facebook with bids that went up to 100,000 baht (~$2,000).
Due to the nature of the internet and social media, things like this can often attract lewd and inappropriate comments.
This is what Masse wanted.
This way, he could attract more engagement, and more potential buyers.
In fact, he even responded to some of the obscene comments from the social media.
"How much for the corner of the table (the spot that Lisa sat)?" asked one interested buyer. "Do you want to f*ck with the table?" he replied.
One Facebook user even went as far as asking Masse if he pay to sniff the sofa that Lisa had sat on.
"It’ll be 1000 baht, but 100 baht for friends," replied Masse to the inquiry.
Masse also responded to users who referenced the star’s body parts and pubic hair.
"I offer you a car for the toilet lid that Lisa used in the restroom and if there had her pubic hair I will leave you a land that is located at Si Lom," another user said, suggesting that the hair that grows from Lisa's genital area can be worth a real estate in Bangkok’s downtown.
Masse replied, “There’s about 10 hairs on it right now, so I’ll have to go get their DNA tested first."
Lisa is one of the most-followed K-pop idol on Instagram.
She debuted with Blackpink in 2016 with fellow members Jennie, Jisoo, and Rosé.
Among her accolades with Blackpink, she also made numerous achievements while going solo.
For example, her single album Lalisa sold over 736,000 copies in its release week in South Korea, making her the first female artist to do so.
The music video for its lead single of the same name recorded 73.6 million views on YouTube in first 24 hours of its release, becoming the most-viewed music video in the first 24 hours on the platform by a solo artist.
The song earned Lisa two Guinness World Records as well as the first MTV Video Music Award ever won by a K-pop soloist.
Famous worldwide, Lisa is also is one of Thailand’s most popular celebrities, especially since she was born there, back in 1997.
While many of Masse replies, and others' replies, were jokes, but in one way or another, they clearly sexually objectified her.
Sooner than latter, Masse's behavior outraged many of Lisa's loyal fans.
Blackpink's fans, also known as 'Blinks', were also angered, and accused the café for exploiting Lisa, and accusing him of sexually harassing Lisa.
The Blinks also urged Blackpink’s label YG Entertainment to take action.
"This is beyond unacceptable and that pervert must be punished," a Twitter user said.
"Lisa promoted your restaurant, but instead of being grateful, you chose to sexualize her. Your whole business will go downhill now mf take the taste of your own medicine," said the user, who seemed to be amaze at how Masse had blown away a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to attract fans of the K-pop to his business venue.
"Fans would’ve wanted to go to the cafe Lisa went to, but the owner seems to be so disrespectful of Lisa and sexually harassing her,” another tweeted.
Masse was literally attacked by the barrage of vengeance, slammed collectively the the many Blinks online.
Many of them use the #LowClassMqqnCafe (#มูนคาเฟ่ชั้นต่ํา) hashtag.
Masse initially defended his comments, saying that, "If you really read what I wrote, I didn’t harass her at all. Calm down, fans," he said.
But since the attack didn't end and only gets worse, Masse realized the mistake he put himself into.
Masse apologized to the fans and followers of Lisa, and also to Lisa as well.
"I apologize for my bad posts. Sorry to Lisa and everyone involved. I accept all criticism. We all love Lisa. I’m sorry for what happened."
But it was too late for Masse to regret what he did.
The damage done to Masse's business is already too big.
Many of Lisa's fans and Blinks have left multiple negative, 1-star reviews on the café’s business page. And on the café's Facebook Pages, the posts were littered with angry reactions and comments.
Failure to appease the growing mob of Blinks, Masse was forced to close his MQQN Cafe indefinitely.
