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.

Dex, the youngest member of Around the World Since Birth 4, was spotted at Incheon International Airport on April 3, departing for Nepal.

The team is starting their adventure with an expedition to Mount Everest, followed by the tough Tea Horse Road trek.

Dex, who first appeared in Season 2, quickly became a fan favorite thanks to his UDT background, strong endurance, and unexpected humor.

Fans are excited to see if he will once again show off his toughness mixed with his signature clumsy charm.

At the airport, Dex wore high-altitude trekking gear and shared, "I heard this will be the toughest journey yet. But I'm excited to go on another trip with the hyungs. I'll return safely."

However, what caught fans’ attention the most was actor Lee Jong Suk’s reaction to Dex’s trip. The two became close after working together, and when Lee Jong Suk heard about Dex leaving for Everest, he reportedly said, "Why are you going there? Just stay home."

His straightforward and relatable reaction made fans laugh, with many saying they would have reacted the same way.

With Kian 84, Pani Bottle, Dex, and Lee Si Eon back together, Around the World Since Birth 4 is set to premiere in May on MBC.

Fans can’t wait to see the fun and chaos unfold!
