Some comments read,
- "Isn't Lisa's step-father already a highly successful chef who appeared on TV? He became even more famous after Lisa debuted. A poor foreign family can't afford to let their children debut as idols, so they must be wealthy."
- "Most Southeast Asian K-pop idols come from wealthy families. If they weren't rich, they would never send their children to Korea to train without knowing when they would debut."
- "Wow, $19,500?! That's around 26 million won, right? I knew Lisa's family was rich, but I didn't expect them to be that wealthy."
- "Lisa's family is even richer than Jennie's, right?"
- "It looks like Lisa's stepfather really loves her and her mother. He paid the expensive tuition fees and even supported Lisa's K-pop idol debut even though she was not his biological daughter. He and Lisa's mother didn't have any children of their own, but it is amazing that he supports and loves his step-daughter this much."
