Despite being a part of BLACKPINK Lisa’s social media team in LLOUD, the team is facing criticism for the multiple technical issues that occurred during the “ROCKSTAR”livestream countdown.
Lisa’s highly-anticipated solo comeback single “ROCKSTAR”was released on June 28, 2024.
That day, Lisa’s company channel, LLOUD, held a livestream countdown for the premiere of her music video, causing her fan base to buzz with excitement. There had been rumors that Lisa may even make an appearance during the livestream.
Despite waiting for 30 minutes, fans from all over the world were perplexed and let down by a seemingly useless livestream. The thumbnail for the video only featured Lisa’s image and the title “ROCKSTAR,”but it did not include a countdown timer.
Adding to the perplexity, it was observed that two employees were conversing during the live broadcast, seemingly oblivious to the fact that their microphone was still active.
Despite no confidential information being disclosed, a team member quickly realized the mistake and urgently advised, “Please mute the live stream, the audience can hear everything.”

The livestream was also abruptly restarted five times, causing more frustration among fans and raising concerns about the level of professionalism within Lisa’s team.

Despite this, the “ROCKSTAR”music video received numerous supportive comments from fans.
In the “ROCKSTAR”music video, Lisa stunned audiences with her bold and rebellious fashion choices, fully embracing a daring new persona that embodied the true essence of a rock star. This marked a significant departure from her previous image.

Lisa’s unwavering commitment to her solo career was highlighted in the song. “ROCKSTAR”includes a sample/instrumental from Tame Impala’s “Same Ol’ Mistakes,”which was also famously covered by Rihanna.
Additionally, Lisa played a role as a lyricist in the creation of the track.

Furthermore, there were speculations on social media that the video would showcase a spectacular group of Thai dancers, and those rumors were proven true as hundreds of dancers joined Lisa in a dynamic and fiery performance, elevating the grandeur of the song.
