K-pop or Thai pop? Blackpink singer Lisa’s new song Rockstar prompts debate

SEOUL – Upon the release of Thai singer Lisa’s new solo single Rockstar on June 28, a heated debate ignited online between South Korean and Thai fans over whether the song should be classified as K-pop or Thai pop.

South Korean fans argue that the 27-year-old’s identity as a K-pop star justifies calling her new single a K-pop song. In contrast, Thai fans claim it is Thai pop, pointing to the music video’s strong emphasis on her Thai heritage, as it features a Thai dance team and was directed by Thai producers. “Lisa is now pioneering a new market in the US mainstream music market as a pop star,” music critic Kim Do-heon said on July 3. “Rockstar, shot in Thailand with local staff, marks the beginning of her career as an Asian pop star, which is not common worldwide.”
