Netizens defended the idol about the well-known figure.
A post about BLACKPINK Lisa‘s earnings while filming The White Lotus has sparked criticism, with netizens defending the idol.
Lisa starred as Mook in The White Lotus earlier in the year.
Recently, a tweet from a well-known X account shared that Lisa earned $40,000 USD for each episode of The White Lotus.

The tweet led to criticism towards Lisa, with many claiming it was unfair pay considering the lack of screen time the idol had during the episodes compared to the other stars.
For doing nothing?

This is too much for a cameo which barely had lines or screentime.. Other actors deserve better… And she stole otyer cast interviews for herself without out any input https://t.co/VmfwTZOgtg

Yet, netizens quickly called out the post, explaining that the fee for the show was for all cast members and that it was seemingly trying to paint Lisa in a negative way.
She was there for the experience not for the money she making almost 1 billion alone with her company Lloud, so i dont think we should be worry about her income

Do a better headline: The White Lotus S3-all main cast members are paid the same salary per episode, the rate was reportedly $40,000 per episode, totaling $320,000 for the season. The salary is non-negotiable.

In particular, the news about The White Lotus and pay has been known for some time.
All the ‘White Lotus’ stars get paid the same amount — and the salary is nonnegotiable.
