Although there were concerns among some fans about the high-exposure art nude show, the said attendees praised Lisa's professionalism and lauded the high quality of the show, in contrast to criticism that it is just nothing more than a "stripper's show."

The show was not vulgar at all it was so beautiful, as someone who’s really modest I’ve felt so comfortable watching those womens. It was so natural and pretty it was literally art and lisa omgggg truly this crazyhorse performance is definitely not vulgar it’s a work of art

Again the show was just pure art, from the way the lights come and the way the performers are just amazing in every move, I know why Lisa wanted to perform at Crazy Horse. I think I’ve never seen something this interesting and beautiful in my life. No trash, just pure art

According to fans, it is rather an honor to be able to perform in the Crazy Horse cabaret, as only VIP, high-class and elite guests can watch the show. Thus, only those with eyes for real performance art can appreciate it.
Aside from BLINKs, Rosé and Jisoo also let Lisa know that they support her in her solo endeavor, attending their maknae's stage as audiences as well.
It was initially reported that Lisa voluntarily participated in the show after being invited by Crazy Horse's general manager. It was revealed that she's actually a fan who often visits the show and meets the dancers.

Unfortunately, not everyone was impressed with Lisa's debut on the Crazy Horse stage. As this is a show where high exposure was being shown, many questioned Lisa if it is appropriate for a global star to "play like a stripper."
The fans emphasized that Lisa should rethink the path she's trying to take since BLACKPINK is a world-renowned group and many young children around the world treat them as their role models and inspiration.
Netizens think she's ruining the positive image of K-pop idols that was built by the earlier K-pop idols.
I’m sorry but is Lisa becoming a stripper? I’m so confused like girl you do you but it’s a interesting career change 🫠🫤

It's funny how Crazy Horse was just a normal place to have fun and perform with tons of celebrities already there before but even Lisa decided to, suddenly it's a strip club, she's a stripper ,went ahead to degrade other dancers just because they hate Lisa

Lisa has avoided taking off her top, but it still doesn't seem easy to quell the "obscenity" controversy against her.
As it was revealed that the purpose of "Crazy Horse" and Lisa's performance was to attract a young audience to the performance, whether it was "popularization of sexual commercialization" was being raised as a concern.
