The singer stopped by an elementary school class for the most recent episode of Recess Therapy
Lisa of Blackpink was the latest Celebrity Substitute on the digital series hosted by Recess Therapy creator Julian Shapiro-Barnum. According to a press release, each episode sees the host visit a different public school with a celebrity to “empower educators and help students achieve their dreams by investing directly in essential resources and tools.”
The series partners with Amazon to fulfill each school’s Amazon Wish List of essential learning supplies and resources. The show launched last week with their debut featuring actors Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh.
The pop singer and Shapiro-Barnum visited a Brooklyn elementary public school class for the episode exclusively premiering with Rolling Stone on Monday. During the sweet video, Lisa gives the eager group of girls a dance lesson and teaches them how to film their own music video for her song “Rockstar.”
The episode sees Lisa help get everyone into costume — pastel hair, sparkles, and all — while brainstorming what to call their new pop group. “Girls, what do you think we should name our group?” Lisa asks the class, to which they respond: “Blackpink!”
“I feel like that one’s already taken,” says Shapiro-Barnum, immediately prompting one of the students to declare: “Lisa’s Group!” After the class masters the choreography to the track, the pop star/substitute teacher extraordinaire prepares them for the grand finale: filming the music video. The performance, of course, is a resounding success and as a parting gift, the class is surprised with everything on their Amazon Wish List including brand new dance gear, a piano, a drum set, a full soundboard, and wireless microphones.
Lisa also brought “Rockstar” to the 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show earlier this month, opening the evening with her solo hit and joining the event’s first-ever all-women performance lineup. Sharing the stage with Tyla and Cher, Lisa later performed her latest single, “Moonlit Floor,” which interpolates Sixpence None the Richer’s “Kiss Me.”
