Lisa from BLACKPINK is facing controversy over allegations of plagiarism in her latest solo music video.

On July 6th, director Gabrielo Moses took to social media claiming, "They approached my editor to work on this, mentioning Travis Scott's 'FE!N' as reference. He declined, but they went ahead anyway. Have a good day." Gabrielo Moses directed Travis Scott's music video for "FE!N (Feat. Playboi Carti)," part of his album 'UTOPIA' released last July.

Gabrielo Moses also shared a post from a netizen comparing scenes from both videos, sparking further debate. Reports suggest Lisa's team has been asked to respond to these allegations by the end of the month.

"ROCKSTAR," Lisa's latest solo single released on June 28th, has not yet received an official statement from her agency regarding these accusations.

Lisa parted ways with YG Entertainment last year to focus on her solo career under her own agency, LLOUD, and signed with RCA Records, a Sony Music subsidiary.

Despite the controversy, "ROCKSTAR" has achieved significant success. It reached 8th place on the global Spotify chart and dominated in Lisa's home country, Thailand, with over 2.57 million streams, setting a new record for daily streaming.

The music video for "ROCKSTAR" also gained traction globally, trending at number one on YouTube Music Video Trending charts in multiple countries including Australia, UK, France, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Korea, Turkey, Mexico, and the UK.

BTS’s Jimin is once again proving his global dominance, especially in Japan, where his solo music continues to break records!

Jimin's hit song "Who", from his second album MUSE, has just been awarded the prestigious Gold streaming certification from the Japan Record Association (RIAJ).

This honor comes after "Who" surpassed a remarkable 50 million streams in February, making it the first solo song by Jimin to receive this certification in Japan!

The Japan Record Association certifies music based on total streams, with Gold for 50 million streams, Platinum for 100 million, and Diamond for a massive 500 million.

This achievement adds another significant milestone to Jimin’s growing solo career.

Previously, Jimin also earned a Platinum certification for his first album FACE (for 250,000 units shipped) and a Gold certification for MUSE (for over 100,000 units shipped).

With the Gold streaming certification for "Who", Jimin now holds a total of three prestigious certifications from the Japan Record Association, solidifying his place as a solo artist.

Not only that, but "Who" made waves on the Billboard charts, staying on the Billboard Hot 100 for an impressive 33 weeks, setting a record for the longest-charting K-pop solo song! It also spent 32 weeks on the Billboard Japan Hot 100, showing just how much love fans have for his music.

Jimin’s solo success doesn’t stop there, as GOLDEN also spent 20 weeks on the Billboard Japan Hot Albums chart, and Jimin continues to dominate the Billboard Japan Artist 100, where he has now charted for 47 weeks! Clearly, Jimin’s popularity is unstoppable!
