Following the introduction of BLACKPINK's Lisa (LISA) on the 2026 FIFA World Cup opening ceremony stage, global fandoms reacted passionately on social media. After performing on the 12th (local time), her historic performance as the first female K-pop soloist to appear on a World Cup opening stage drew worldwide attention, surpassing 83 million views on China's Weibo and 9 million views on YouTube, while also receiving concentrated coverage from Indian media.

On June 12 (local time), Lisa performed 'Goals' live alongside Anitta and Rema at the FIFA World Cup opening ceremony held at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, USA. Immediately after the performance, a hashtag on China's largest social network, Weibo, stating "Lisa's legs are so beautiful that even Photoshop can't replicate this," rose to the trending list in the entertainment category, recording 83 million views. @pinkpopperr shared, "Indian media and fans are going wild for Lisa. It's hard to believe that over a billion people have seen Lisa's performance."

Streaming performance also surged sharply. According to @AnittaChart, 'Goals' recorded 649,625 streams on Spotify on the day of the opening ceremony, then jumped by over 87,000 to 736,608 streams the following day. Within 23 days of release, cumulative streams surpassed 16.31 million. The opening ceremony performance video released on YouTube also quickly broke through 9 million views.

Reactions from fans poured in from around the world. @Dianna143327 condensed Lisa's performance with the short and powerful phrase "Lisa. Light. Legacy. FIFA World Cup 2026," while Thai fan @Mitrochondria_P cheered, "Lisa's global and international presence is so impressive. She even took photos with all the outstanding female artists at the opening ceremony." @karkonzana remarked, "Lisa's list of global achievements, from Hollywood award shows to the world's largest sports event, is truly impressive."

Reactions from Indian media were also intense. The Sunday Guardian focused on the story with the headline "Lisa rewrote FIFA World Cup history. First performance by a Thai artist," while AltBollywood commented, "The era of sports anthems limited to a region is over. FIFA bringing K-pop, Latin pop, and Afrobeat onto one stage accurately reflects the direction the music industry is heading." Lisa's performance, as the first artist from a K-pop female solo group and the first Thai artist to appear on a World Cup opening stage in history, continues to be a topic of discussion on global social media even after the opening ceremony concluded.
