Known for its creepy atmosphere, the choice of New World adds an unexpected dimension to the MV's visual narrative, promising fans an experience that goes beyond the typical glamour of K-pop productions.
Adding to the intrigue, Lisa also shut down the bustling Yaowarat Road in Bangkok's Chinatown to film segments of her MV.
This unprecedented move reportedly involved compensating each shop on the street with a generous sum of 20,000 Thai Baht (approximately 540 USD) to close early for filming.
Everybody in Thailand loves her and even if she doesnβt pay them, they will still let her film.And to who compare Thai bath to usd , 20k bath is already a lot for some people who are trying hard to make money because in Thailand, you can see shop everywhere and hard to do money.
