Jakarta, CNN Indonesia -- Keamanan adalah hal yang utama, terutama bagi musisi yang sedang menjalani tur konser musiknya di negara lain. Hal itu mungkin juga diamini oleh Dua Lipa. Namun dirinya pasti tak menyangka kalau penggemarnya bakal mendapat perlakukan tak menyenangkan dari petugas keamanan dalam konsernya.
Dikutip dari NME pada Kamis (13/9), sebuah unggahan video dari netizen menunjukkan bahwa Dua Lipa terlihat menangisi hal tersebut di atas panggung konsernya di National Exhibition Centre, Shanghai, China, semalam. Dalam video tersebut terlihat sekawanan penonton konser Dua Lipa dipaksa keluar oleh petugas keamanan konser karena mengibarkan bendera pro-LGBT. Melihat hal tersebut mata Dua Lipa langsung berkaca-kaca. Ia langsung memberikan pernyataan bernada sedih. "Saya ingin menciptakan suasana bersenang-senang yang aman. Saya ingin kita semua menari, bernyanyi, dan menikmati waktu yang menyenangkan," kata Dua Lipa. "Saya ingin kita bersenang-senang di detik-detik terakhir ini. Setuju?" lanjutnya. Selain isu mengibarkan bendera pro-LGBT, banyak netizen yang menduga kalau sekawanan penonton itu dipaksa keluar oleh petugas keamanan karena terlihat menari selama konser. [Gambas:Twitter] Walau homoseksualitas bukan hal yang ilegal di China, namun masih banyak kelompok LGBT yang mengaku mendapat banyak tekanan dari pemerintah dan oknum di sana. Keberadaan pasangan LGBT juga masih dianggap tabu dan sering menjadi bahan ejekan serta kekerasan. Hingga saat ini Dua Lipa belum memberikan keterangan resmi terkait insiden tersebut. Saat ini Dua Lipa masih berada di China untuk melangsungkan rangkaian konsernya sebelum tampil di panggung musik ajang balap F1 Singapura pada akhir pekan ini. Minggu kemarin ia baru saja merilis single baru bersama Diplo dan Mark Ronson yang berjudul Electricity. (ard)

Shanghai, Gatra.com - Beberapa fans dikeluarkan paksa saat konser Dua Lipa di Shanghai pada Rabu, (12/09). Sebuah video yang beredar di media sosial menunjukan pihak keamanan konser menarik penonton tersebut dari kursi mereka.
Dikabarkan penonton tersebut dikeluarkan, karena mengibarkan bendara provokatif yang memperjuangan hak-hak homoseksual (gay). Kejadian tersebut pun membuat sedih artis pensanti dari Inggris itu.
“Saya ingin menciptakan lingkungan yang benar-benar aman bagi kita semua untuk bersenang-senang,” ungkap Dua Lipa saat di konsernya.
“Saya ingin kita semua menari. Saya ingin kita semua bernyanyi, saya ingin kita semua memiliki waktu yang sangat baik,” tambahnya.
Beberapa pengguna media sosial lain mengatakan bahwa para penonton tersebut diusir secara paksa karena membuat suasana menjadi tidak nyaman dan kemudian melambai-lambaikan bendera pro-gay.
Seorang wanita bersama putrinya yang berada di konser tersebut mengatakan bahwa penonton tersebut dicekik lehernya sebelum diangkat dan dipaksa keluar dari area.
Homoseksualitas tidak ilegal di China, namun sikap anti-LGBT memang ada dan beberapa mengatakan ada kecenderungan baru-baru ini untuk mengesampingkan komunitas LGBT.
Ini adalah kali pertama Dua Lipa melakukan tur di Tiongkok. Ia melakukan konser di dua tempat yaitu di Guangzhou dan Shanghai. Kemudian dijadwalkan akan tampil konser berikutnya di Manila pada Jumat (14/09/2019).
Menanggapi peritiswa tersebut Dua Lipa menuliskan di akun media sosialnya, Twitter, dia mengatakan, “saya bangga dan bersyukur bahwa Anda merasa cukup aman untuk menunjukkan kebanggaan Anda di acara saya."
The pop singer Dua Lipa has praised her fans’ bravery after some audience members at her concert in Shanghai were forcefully removed for dancing in their seats and apparently waving flags in support of gay rights.
Videos posted on social media after the show in China on Wednesday evening showed security staff pulling people from their seats and crowd members apparently being attacked by security guards outside the National Exhibition and Convention Centre.
The British singer tweeted that she was horrified by the incident. “I will stand by you all for your love and beliefs and I am proud and grateful that you felt safe enough to show your pride at my show. What you did takes a lot of bravery. I always want my music to bring strength, hope and unity. I was horrified by what happened and I send love to all my fans involved.”
Lipa, 23, has been vocal in her support of the LGBT community, and appeared to be upset on stage during her performance. She told the audience: “I want to create a really safe environment for us all to have fun … I want us all to dance. I want us all to sing. I want us all to just have a really good time.”
Ｎｅｏ (@imneo_) I just CANT believe it. This is the show of Dua Lipa in Shanghai. All the fans are forbidden to stand out and could only sit on to see the show?!? If you don’t, the guard would use violence to kick u out. It’s unbelievable... #dualipa pic.twitter.com/quITZNLVxU
Lipa pledged to return to Shanghai “when the time is right and hopefully see a room full of rainbows”.
The Shanghai date was the second and final date of Lipa’s first tour of China, after she performed in Guangzhou on 11 September.

Although homosexuality is not illegal in China – the country decriminalised it in 1997 and LGBT visibility has increased – there has been creeping cultural censorship since Xi Jinping came to power in November 2012.
In November 2017, Human Rights Watch interviewed 17 Chinese LGBT people who said they had been pressured into undergoing conversion therapy because of family and social pressures.
In April this year Weibo, the Chinese social media site, reversed its plan to “clean up” LGBT content on the platform after an online protest. In May a video showing security guards punching two Chinese women who attended an LGBT event in Beijing prompted outrage.
Some fans who attended the Dua Lipa concert said people were removed for dancing, while others said some were ejected for waving pro-gay rights flags.
Wham! were the first western act to perform in China, in 1985. George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley held two concerts, in Beijing and Ghangzhou, after their manager, Simon Napier-Bell, convinced Chinese officials that allowing the duo to perform would show the world that the Communist party welcomed foreigners and foreign investment. Concertgoers received a cassette tape containing Wham!’s original songs and Chinese covers by Cheng Fangyuan.
China has become an important territory for western acts since record sales began to decline: according to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, in 2017 China became one of 10 biggest recorded-music markets for the first time. Recorded-music revenues grew by 35.3% to $292.3m (£223.2m) and streaming revenues grew by 26.5% to $204.5m (£156.1m), according to Music Ally reports.
The market, once dominated by piracy, has slowly legitimised: in 2010, 97.5% of online music traffic in China went to unlicensed and pirated sites. By 2017, 70% of traffic was to licensed audio and video sites.
Some artists have tailored their approach to profit from this lucrative market. In April the British singer Jessie J won the Chinese television talent show Singer. The Canadian pop star Avril Lavigne found success in China by touring regional cities that did not often appear on western acts’ Chinese itineraries, leading to endorsement deals with soft drinks and gaming companies.
Others, however, have fallen foul of the Chinese authorities. In July last year Justin Bieber was banned from touring the country by Beijing’s Municipal Bureau of Culture owing to “public dissatisfaction” over his previous concerts in China. Other artists including Björk, Lady Gaga, Maroon 5 and Bon Jovi have reportedly been banned from performing in the country after showing their support for Tibet and the Dalai Lama.
