Did BLACKPINK’s Lisa plagiarise Travis Scott’s FE!N in her new ROCKSTAR music video?

Last month, Lisa from BLACKPINK launched her debut single "ROCKSTAR" under her newly established label, Loud Company. 

The release marked her transition into a solo artist on the global stage, drawing widespread anticipation.

Filmed in her native Thailand, "ROCKSTAR" quickly soared past 100 million views, underscoring Lisa's international impact. Notably, she compensated local night market vendors generously for filming, sparking additional interest. 

However, Lisa's solo debut faced allegations of plagiarism regarding the music video. Video director Gabriel Moses took to social media, comparing a scene from Lisa's "ROCKSTAR" to one from Travis Scott's "FE!N," a video he directed. 

Moses claimed, "They (Lisa's team) approached my editor for this scene. My editor declined, but they proceeded with a similar scene anyway."

Khaosod, a local publication, reported, "Lisa's 'ROCKSTAR' faces allegations of plagiarizing Travis Scott's 'FE!N' music video, directed by Gabriel Moses. A comparative analysis suggests significant resemblances."

Lisa's team faces mounting pressure to address these claims as observers await their official stance.
