In an unprecedented move, BLACKPINK's Lisa has made headlines by renting out an entire street in Bangkok, Thailand, for her solo music video, Rockstar. The iconic Yaowarat Road in Bangkok's bustling Chinatown was chosen as the primary location for the shoot, making the event exceptionally meaningful for Thai fans. Lisa, who is of Thai descent, paid 20,000 Baht to each shop owner on the street to close early, ensuring an uninterrupted filming experience. Fans were quick to praise the effort, calling it "pure cinema" and celebrating the authenticity of the location.

Lisa's decision to film Rockstar in Thailand, utilising local crews and dancers, has resonated deeply with her Thai supporters. The music video showcases Lisa strutting through the vibrant city streets at night, donning stylish outfits while delivering the catchy lyrics, "It’s so hype, hype/ Baby I’m a rockstar." This visual treat is set to drop on July 27 at 8 PM ET (June 28, 5:30 AM IST), promising a pulsating, club-ready pop vibe that is sure to captivate audiences.

The announcement of Rockstar came earlier this month from Lisa's own management company, LLOUD, via Instagram. The teaser, featuring a cartoonish, electric sound, has already garnered significant attention. Lisa also made waves by launching a TikTok account, where she teased snippets of her new music, quickly amassing a million followers and setting a Guinness World Record in just over two hours. The teaser was shared across multiple platforms, including YouTube, adding to the growing anticipation for her solo release.

Rockstar marks Lisa's first solo project since collaborating with DJ Snake, Ozuna and Megan Thee Stallion on SG in 2021. That same year, she released two singles, Lalisa and Money, which she performed during BLACKPINK's headlining set at Coachella last year. Lisa's solo career took a significant step forward when she signed a deal with RCA in April, a move that allows her to retain ownership of her recordings. This deal has given her the confidence to push her solo career further, as she expressed her excitement about joining the RCA family and the bigger movement they are creating together.
