BLACKPINK's Lisa released her first solo track under LLOUD label
Lisa garnered much attention for her latest solo track, ROCKSTAR, released on June 28, 2024. This energetic single is her first solo effort since her solo debut with 2021's LALISA, which was released under YG Entertainment.
The K-pop idol's latest music video is released under the LLOUD music label and RCA Records. The rapper formed her new, independent management business and label, LLOUD Co., and secured a solo deal with RCA earlier this year.
She makes a triumphant return after teasing the comeback on social media in the recent weeks of 2024. On June 18, the LLOUD label revealed the official release date of the idol's new single, following which the song arrived on June 28.
The music video was shot in the singer's home country, Thailand. Witnessing her openness and dedication to her home country made fans very happy.
The idol's ROCKSTAR music video has broken the record for the quickest K-pop music video of 2024 to amass 2 million views on YouTube. This achievement was accomplished by surpassing the previous mark set earlier this year by Sheesh of BABYMONSTER.
Additionally, the video also featured three transgender influencers: Bruze Kachi-sarah, Aëffy, and Chinnawat Promsri, who made cameo appearances throughout the video.
