AirAsia cabin crew rock out: Performs Lisa’s Rockstar on flight (video)

In a dazzling twist on standard in-flight service, AirAsia’s Funteam cabin crew at Kuala Lumpur turned a routine flight into a concert extravaganza. Mid-journey, they burst into a high-energy performance of K-pop girl group BLACKPINK’s Lisa’s chart-topping hit Rockstar, followed by a rousing rendition of Lady Gaga’s Applause.

“Passengers were thrilled by the surprise entertainment.”

Social media erupted with praise as people shared their excitement about the unexpected and fun in-flight experience.

BLACKPINK Lisa’s Rockstar MV garnered an impressive 67.76 million views on YouTube in early July, a few days after the hit was released, on June 28. The single marks the Thai K-pop star’s first solo venture after establishing her company, LLOUD, in partnership with Sony Music and RCA Records. Her choice to film the music video in the popular Yaowarat area generated immense pride among Thai fans.

The song has generated a surge of fan fever among Lisa’s supporters, with one man going as far as tattooing the words “Lisa Rockstar” on the side of his head. He cited his immense pride after participating in the music video shoot for the single.

A Thai student from northern Thailand went viral with her rendition of Rockstar. The TikTok video of her dance routine captured the attention of netizens, amassing 5 million views in a single night. The same student first made headlines for her uncanny resemblance to Lisa, after being spotted selling fried chicken in Samut Prakan province.
