Recently, Blackpink's Lisa officially released her solo song "Rockstar" on global music platforms and a music video on YouTube. This project marks Lisa's solo comeback after 3 years since her debut mini-album "Lalisa" in 2021.
"Rockstar" is also the first song Lisa released after leaving YG Entertainment (October 2023) and establishing her own company, LLLOUD (February 2024), as well as signing a contract with the renowned American record label RCA Records (April 2024).
Lisa is going all-in on her new project.
Lisa's return to the music scene not only brought catchy music and stunning choreography but also attracted attention with excellent footage shot at unique locations in Thailand. She received rave reviews for actively promoting her homeland, with Bangkok's Chinatown – the most bustling and vibrant Chinese quarter in the capital – becoming a special highlight, causing a sensation among Thai travel enthusiasts.
The footage was filmed in Bangkok's Chinatown, Thailand, for Lisa's "Rockstar" music video.
Bangkok's Chinatown, also known as Yaowarat, is the largest and oldest Chinese neighborhood in Bangkok, Thailand. It has long been a popular tourist destination due to its unique blend of traditional Chinese culture and the vibrant energy of modern Bangkok.
Take a stroll through Bangkok's vibrant Chinatown.
This place is steeped in Chinese culture with its ancient houses, bustling streets, shops selling all kinds of goods, and delicious street food. Strolling through the narrow streets, you'll be immersed in the distinctive Chinese atmosphere with its old buildings, vibrant neon signs, shops selling everything from clothing and souvenirs to handicrafts, and food stalls emitting enticing aromas. This makes visitors feel like they've stepped into a completely different world, separate from the noise and hustle of modern Bangkok.
Lisa had impressive scenes filmed in Bangkok's Chinatown, showcasing her unique and captivating beauty amidst the vibrant old town. The dazzling and enchanting images of Chinatown were captured through unique camera angles, giving viewers a sense of delight and curiosity. The "Rockstar" music video contributed to promoting the image of Bangkok's Chinatown to a wider audience worldwide, attracting tourists to explore and experience the unique cultural beauty of this old town.

Lisa magically transformed the neighborhood, which was bustling day and night, into a deserted place.
Furthermore, in contrast to the lyrics heavily influenced by Western culture, the "Thai princess" impressively showcases Thai identity. Thai elements are prominently displayed in the music video, including the image of tuk-tuks cruising the streets, the spectacular appearance of large motorcycles, the respect shown to and invitation of the charismatic drag queens, and the image of skateboarders cruising through the streets.
The music video, released in the final days of Pride Month, was well-received by fans thanks to the appearance of three famous transgender beauties from Thailand.
Lisa seems to have encapsulated her homeland in the work by selecting hundreds of dancers from Thailand to perform the spectacular routines in the music video.
Lisa's "Rockstar" music video takes fans on a journey to discover incredibly impressive destinations across Thailand. It's clear that the idol has a deep love for her homeland, Thailand, and doesn't miss any opportunity to introduce her country to the world.
