BlackPink’s Lisa recently released her fiery new single “ROCKSTAR,” marking her solo debut under her own label LLOUD Co.
The song and music video, which were filmed in her native Thailand, quickly became a social media phenomenon thanks to its catchy music and stunning visuals, and Lisa’s unique charisma.
To celebrate the release, Lisa took to Instagram to express her gratitude. She shared her enthusiasm for the project and thanked her team at RCA Records and We Are Loud for making it happen. However, her follow-up post drew mixed reactions from fans.
“I am so happy to finally be able to share my new single ‘ROCKSTAR’ with you all. I have been working on this project for a while and have had so much fun making it. Thank you for your patience and I am so excited to celebrate with you all. A huge thank you to @rcarecords and the @wearelloud team for making this happen. Thank you Lily for your love and support. It has been 3 years since my last song, so I hope you enjoy this ‘ROCKSTAR’ era as much as I do.PS. This is just the beginning! There is much more to come, so stay tuned.хохо,LISA »
Lisa expressed her gratitude to her solo fanbase, “Lilies,” for their unwavering support, especially after a three-year hiatus from her solo releases. While many fans were delighted with the message, BLINKs noticed that they were not included in the thank you message. A tweet highlighting this has garnered a lot of attention, with over 652.6k views and 9.2k likes. In the replies, many fans expressed their disappointment.

“This is actually the first time she’s said ‘Lilies’ instead of ‘BLINKs’, but I hope she knows that BLINKs are there to support her too.” »

“Oh so now it’s Lily. It makes me sick, I wonder if it’s just me. It’s weird that my crush and the person who threatened him started this ‘new fandom’ thing while still in the group. By the way, Jennie and Jisoo, thank you for always saying sweet words to BLINKs. »“Thanks Lily?”

This has sparked speculation about BlackPink’s future, with some fans even suggesting that this could be a sign that the group may disband.
“thank you lilies” maybe shut down was actually the disbandment song..

“Maybe ‘Thank You Lily’ really is the band’s farewell song. »“Dismiss quietly, I don’t care, just announce it.” »

Others have a more positive view, arguing that BLINKs who support Lisa’s solo activities can also be considered Lilies.

“The solo fan group name will be used. If you are a BLINK supporting Lisa’s solo activities and her comeback, you are also Lilie because these are Lisa’s activities, not BlackPink’s. Just differentiate between ‘Lilie before ROCKSTAR and Lilie after ROCKSTAR’ if that is more clear. »
