Check out what K-netizens had to say on TheQoo below.

– The music video could have been shot better. The video quality is disappointing compared to Lisa’s abilities.

– The song isn’t great, but Lisa carries it well.

– It seems like Lisa brought what she’s good at. Fighting!

– She seems to be showcasing what she does well.

– The song is good, better than “Lalisa.”

– Not really my style.

– Can Lisa bring something like “Money”?

– The song feels like it’s lacking impact, but Lisa is cool.

– It doesn’t fit the taste of Koreans… Thai people will love it though. Still, it’s cool. There aren’t many K-pop singers who can pull off this kind of vibe.

– The song and music video feel a bit boring.

– Lisa is cool; can’t wait for the album.

– It’s too short, unfortunately. I’d love to see the choreography video too. Lisa’s promotion seems a bit different from K-pop. Please release a dance video.

– Lisa is really good.

– I don’t understand the lyrics, but the music video and choreography are good. Maybe the silly lyrics are meant for TikTok.

– It’s very Lisa-like.

– Seems boring… it looks like YG are the ones that gave her the perfect style.

– Doesn’t have a K-pop feel.

– Just okay.

– Money >>> Rockstar > Lalisa, that’s the ranking.

– The song is good, but too short.

– Was it shot in Thailand? It gives off a very Thai vibe. Both the song and video are disappointing compared to “Lalisa” or “Money” performances. Considering Lisa’s status, both the video and song are a letdown.
– Maybe my expectations were too high, so I’m disappointed.

– It’s interesting that it doesn’t have a K-pop feel… Personally, it’s not my taste. The styling, song, and video all feel messy, though Lisa did great.

– I thought her solo would be cooler, but it’s more ordinary than expected.

– The song and video quality are disappointing compared to Lisa’s abilities.

– The song is good and cool.

– YG gave her the right style… but Lisa is awesome and cool.

– The Japanese part feels very old-fashioned. It’s the most emphasized part of the lyrics, which is disappointing since she wasn’t based in Japan and was a K-pop singer.
– The song and video are cool, but the repetitive lyrics are a letdown.

– Lisa’s performance is amazing. The lyrics are good. I guess she won’t do K-pop anymore.

– It’s different from BLACKPINK activities. Cool.

– The Japanese part is probably a parody of Westerners who can’t tell Asians apart.

– Teddy was really great. YG’s identity was tied to him.

– Lisa looks like Rihanna with short hair and no bangs.

– It shows how important producing is.

– It’s made with great effort, but the song is a bit disappointing.

– It’s good.

– Is she shedding her idol image?

– This is T-POP.

– YG did well with the concept and image-making.

– It’s not my style, but it’s good she’s doing what she wants.
