“bangkok sonyeo yeogi wasseo” 방콕 소녀 여기 왔어
"방콕 소녀 여기 왔어" (bangkok sonyeo yeogi wasseo) means "the Bangkok girl has arrived" — Lisa opening her solo debut by claiming her Thai identity outright. She was born Lalisa Manoban in Buriram, Thailand, and is the only non-Korean member of Blackpink (Wikipedia). "LALISA" (2021) infuses Thai elements into its dance break, and the music video has her in a tall Thai headdress (rad klao yod), filmed at Phanom Rung in Buriram (Wikipedia).

“namdeul da mallyeosseodo” 남들 다 말렸어도
"남들 다 말렸어도" (namdeul da mallyeosseodo) means "even though everyone tried to stop me" — 말리다 ("to talk someone out of something") frames the line as defiance against doubters, and the solo debut becomes the answer to them. It's the underdog-vindication beat the whole song is built on. "LALISA" was written and produced by Teddy (with Bekuh Boom and 24) and peaked at #2 on the Billboard Global 200 (Wikipedia).
