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.
