Rosa is a pivotal figure for the black community, having fought for their rights for years. Lisa has now apologized to her fans and followers after this incident came to light.

Blackpink's Lisa arrived all geared up for a stunning appearance at the Met Gala 2025, but little did she know what was in store for her during the event.

Who is Rosa Parks?

Rosa Parks was a prominent American civil rights activist, who is known for her refusal to give up her bus seat to a white passenger in Montgomery, Alabama back in 1955.

This simple act of defiance sparked the Montgomery bus boycott, which marked a start to the civil rights movement, and led to the dismantling of racial discrimination on public transportation. Parks is often referred to as the "mother of the civil rights movement", according to the books on history.

As Parks is such an important figure in the black rights movement, the similarity of her face as observed in Lisa's outfit irked netizens in a major way.
