JISOO Brings “Your Love” to Life in Rainforest Wild Asia
Anna Agoncillo
Singapore’s tourism scene has found a new pulse, driven by the synergy between pop culture and immersive destinations. In a strategic move to captivate a global audience, the Singapore Tourism Board has partnered with BLACKPINK’s JISOO, whose latest single “Your Love” premiered on August 12, 2025, accompanied by a visually captivating music video filmed entirely at Mandai Wildlife Reserve’s newest attraction, Rainforest Wild Asia.
Opened in March 2025, Rainforest Wild Asia has transformed the way visitors experience wildlife by blending biodiversity conservation with striking architectural design. This expansive habitat celebrates the lush ecosystems of Southeast Asia, featuring meandering streams, cascading waterfalls, and towering tropical canopies. It is home to elusive species such as the François’ langur and Sunda pangolin. Visitors can explore cavern chambers, relax beside tranquil lagoons, and enjoy a one-of-a-kind meal at the Cavern Restaurant.
In the music video, JISOO moves gracefully through this cinematic wilderness wearing a flowing pink gown. Her ethereal presence complements the rich greenery, creating visuals that are both romantic and timeless. From misty trails to the open sky at the Oculus, every scene captures the rainforest’s beauty. The opening moment, showing her placing a wooden disk into a vintage music player, sets a nostalgic tone before revealing the grandeur of the reserve.
The selection of Rainforest Wild Asia as the filming location is more than a creative choice. It acts as a cultural bridge, connecting K-pop’s worldwide influence with Singapore’s newest attraction. BLACKPINK’s JISOO, admired for her artistry and international appeal, becomes both muse and storyteller. Her influence reaches beyond music, shaping travel aspirations, fashion trends, and global perceptions of destinations. Since the video’s release, fans from around the world have shared images comparing JISOO’s scenes with their own plans to visit the reserve.
By blending the artistry of one of the world’s most recognizable performers with the sensory richness of Rainforest Wild Asia, this collaboration positions Singapore as a global destination. In JISOO’s newest video, the message resonates clearly: paradise is closer than you think, and it awaits beneath the rainforest canopy.
For local residents, the experience is even more enticing as WildPass holders can enjoy SG60 special rates from now until 31 August (T&Cs apply). See for yourself!
15 Visa-Free Destinations for Singaporeans to Enjoy
For Singaporeans, holding the world’s strongest passport is more than a status symbol. It is a key that opens the doors to adventure and culture with minimal paperwork and maximum spontaneity. The ability to enter so many countries without a visa, or with only a quick online authorization, makes last-minute getaways and long-planned journeys equally possible.
LOW-BUDGET TRAVEL
Southeast Asia remains an unbeatable playground for those seeking low-budget travel. Malaysia offers an easy 30-day stay where you can hop between bustling night markets, rainforests, and coastal islands without denting your wallet. Indonesia tempts with Bali’s sunsets and Java’s cultural heartlands, while Thailand continues to charm with its golden temples, street food, and island retreats.

Even the Philippines boasts with crystal-clear waters, perfect for island-hopping and diving in Palawan, all made accessible through visa-free entry.
COMFORTABLE-BUDGET TRAVEL
In the comfortable-budget category, you can stretch your travel funds while still enjoying rich experiences. Japan remains a perpetual favorite with its bullet trains whisking you from neon-lit Tokyo to the peaceful temples of Kyoto. South Korea blends modern energy with deep tradition, where every corner can surprise you with a new flavor or melody. Do not get me started with their delicious (and cute) cafe offerings!

Moreover, the United Kingdom offers the chance to stay for up to six months with an Electronic Travel Authorization, valid for two years. Germany opens its storybook towns and beer gardens without visa formalities, and France continues to lure with art, wine, and romance in both city and countryside.
LUXURY-BUDGET TRAVEL
For those ready to embrace luxury-budget travel, the world’s most indulgent destinations await. Switzerland delivers snow-dusted peaks, shimmering lakes, and watch boutiques that turn window-shopping into an art form. Norway’s dramatic fjords and sophisticated design make every day a postcard.
Furthermore, the United States welcomes visitors through the Visa Waiver Program with an approved ESTA, offering up to 90 days to explore its vast cities and national parks. Canada grants six months of stay with an Electronic Travel Authorization for air arrivals, while land and sea entries require no eTA at all. Australia, with its own Electronic Travel Authority, offers 90 days to soak in Sydney’s harbor views, snorkel the Great Barrier Reef, or taste the wines of the Barossa Valley.

The beauty of travelling on a Singapore passport is the freedom to decide on a whim, to be sipping coffee in Paris one month and wandering through Tokyo’s cherry blossoms the next. Chase new flavors, reconnect with nature, or simply indulge in the joy of discovering a new place with these visa-free destinations.
