Lisa has created a new record for K-pop, as her music video SaWaDiKa has achieved over 200 million views on YouTube. The video was launched on September 4, 2026, at 9 am Korea Standard Time, and it took about 34 days for her to achieve this feat. The achievement makes it the first music video by a K-pop artist released in 2026 to cross the 200 million-view mark, according to the report.
SaWaDiKa is one of Lisa's pre-released singles from her upcoming project, EP PRESS PLAY. The song is named after the Thai word 'Sawadika,' which means hello. It is about three minutes long, with Lisa rapping over hip-hop beats.
The song was created by Thom Bridges and the production duo Ojivolta. Lisa worked on the composition alongside Bridges, Mark Williams, Raul Cubina, Rachel West and Danny Chung. The song was released by the companies LLOUD Co. and RCA Records.
The music video directed by Bang Jae Yeob was shot all around Bangkok, incorporating Thai culture in the video shoot.
