“bangkok-eseo yeogi-kkaji” 방콕에서 여기까지
방콕에서 여기까지 (bangkok-eseo yeogi-kkaji) means 'from Bangkok to here' — a compact way of tracing a journey from home to the global stage. It's autobiographical for Lisa (Lalisa Manobal), who was born and raised in the Bangkok area of Thailand. 'ROCKSTAR' is the lead single of her debut solo album Alter Ego (June 27, 2024), and its music video was filmed in Bangkok, including a shutdown of the Yaowarat (Chinatown) district (Wikipedia).

꺼지지 않을 불꽃 (kkeojiji anheul bulkkot) means 'a flame that won't go out' — 불꽃 (bulkkot) is a spark or blaze, here an image of staying power and refusing to burn out. As a closing idea it reads as a promise of longevity. The line is from Lisa's 'ROCKSTAR,' the lead single of her 2024 debut solo album Alter Ego (Wikipedia).
