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.

IU recently revealed that she watched her own concert film in a public theater, but shockingly, no one recognized her—even when she dropped a hint!

On February 27, a new video featuring IU was released, showing her inside a car on her way to Daejeon.

She excitedly shared, “This is a surprise stage greeting for UAENA! I picked this location through a ladder game when I did stage greetings.”

Previously, IU had let fate decide which city she would visit after her stage greetings. She happily said, “There are UAENAs everywhere I go. Wherever I go, it's a flowery path.” The game ultimately led her to Daejeon.

IU originally hoped to explore the city, saying, “I wanted to visit Daejeon's pride, Sung Sim Dang, and walk around, but my team said it wouldn’t be possible. The lines are too long, and it’s freezing outside.” She sighed, adding, “So, things turned out this way.”

Dressed up for the occasion, IU smiled, saying, “I don’t get to meet UAENAs in Daejeon often, so I wanted to make a surprise appearance looking my best.”

She also joked about enjoying surprise events, adding, “As long as Hanteo oppa drives me safely, I’m happy.”

But what really caught fans' attention was IU’s unexpected confession—she had secretly watched her concert film in a theater, but no one noticed her! “No one recognized me at all. There weren’t that many people, and it was a weekday… but still! I even gave a hint!” she said, sounding both amused and surprised.

Later, when IU finally appeared at the theater, her fans were overwhelmed with emotion. Some even burst into tears, prompting her to gently say, “You really didn’t expect me to come, right?”

After wrapping up her stage greeting, IU laughed at herself, saying, “Wait, did I just do a 40-minute one-woman show? I must have talked so much.”

On her way back to Seoul, IU reflected on the day, sharing, “It was so cold today. I shook hands with all the UAENAs. My hands are usually cold, and since the weather was freezing, I think I made a lot of people’s hands cold, too. But after touching so many warm hands, mine became warm, too. I still haven’t washed them.”

Her love for her fans truly knows no bounds!
