Lisa, having started a special collaboration with Chivas Regal, made BLINK around the world excited about this new achievement. However, in Thailand, it is prohibited to advertise alcoholic beverages such as beers or whiskey within the whole country, according to section 32 of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Act.
Likewise, this regulation applies to all BLACKPINK fans who have been sharing the image of the “MONEY” performer for the past few days. According to Bangkok Post news agency, the Alcohol Control Committee must inquire the users who have been using the image on social media.
Similarly, RT newspaper reports that the Department of Disease Control in Thailand may issue a fine if someone shares Lisa’s advertisement with Chivas Regal. It is estimated that the amount can reach more than 15,000 dollars or they can stay for a year in jail.
.
It is worth mentioning that this law is imposed because Thailand practices the Buddhism religion. In view of this, alcoholic beverages are frowned upon in the country, as they can have detrimental effects on health.
Fortunately, BLACKPINK’s Lisa will not be affected with Thailand’s rules, as she lives in South Korea, but if the idol gets to share the advertisement in the country, she will immediately face a fine. Also, the advertisement was made in another country.
The sanctions would only apply to residents of Thailand, according to an article in the South China Morning Post.
