Earlier on June 28, BLACKPINK's youngest member Lisa released her newest digital single "ROCKSTAR," which marks her first comeback as a soloist and her first release under her founded label LLOUD Co.
Immediately upon its release, the music video for "ROCKSTAR" went viral across social media and online communities due to its music, visuals, Lisa's hard-hitting charisma, and the filming location since it was shot in Lisa's home country, Thailand.
On June 30, Lisa uploaded a post on her official Instagram account to express her gratitude. According to the post, Lisa first conveyed enthusiasm regarding her comeback and shared that she enjoyed making the preparations for the release.
The BLACKPINK member then thanked the RCA Records and We Are Loud team for making the comeback possible. This was followed by the singer's gratefulness to her fans, whom she referred to as "Lilies."
Lisa also concluded her statement hoping that fans will enjoy the "ROCKSTAR" era and that more content will be released.
"Thank you @rcarecords and @wearelloud team for making this happen. Thank you, Lilies for your love and support. It has been three years since my last song, so I hope you guys enjoy 'ROCKSTAR' era as much as I do."
In the post's comments section, fans responded with fervor and returned the love with their warm remarks.
"Yeah! Lilies are very proud of you!Congratulations to you, amazing Lisa and LLOUD. You're a Rockstar!"
"Excited for what's next, ROCKSTAR got me hyped! Love you."
"Lilies will support you forever."
Meanwhile, the post still disappointed some fans since Lisa only alluded to her solo fandom name "Lilies" instead of BLACKPINK's official BLINKs. Others mentioned that it would've been more appropriate to include BLINKs in her message.
"What about BLINKs?"
"Yes, Lilies, but Lilies and BLINKs have a great contribution to this work. We were hurt by this, Lisa, we love you but we weren't ready for this."
"Only Lilies? But BLINKs also supported you."
"We BLINKs supported and waited patiently for your new release but I guess you didn't even acknowledge us."
"Are you thanking your own fandom, not BLINKs who have supported you for years and always defended you against bad comments?
"Lisa did you forget right away about BLINKs? Did you write us Lilies normal, but you could have written BLINK too it shouldn't have been difficult."
this is really her first time saying “lilies” and not “blinks” but i hope she knows blinks are also there supporting her https://t.co/t0T4MkmUzw
wow so it's lillies now, huh. Kinda feel sick to my stomach idk if it's just me. The fact that my bias and bias wrecker have started this whole 'new fandom' thing while still being in the group is weird as fuck. Jennie anb Jisoo, love you for always saying blinks btw 🫶🏻 https://t.co/0m0Px0eIXH
