Singapore Tourism Board (STB) has collaborated with globally renowned K-pop artist JISOO to release a special video for ‘Your Love’, a track from her new mini album ‘AMORTAGE’. Set against the backdrop of the Mandai Wildlife Reserve in Singapore, this video highlights the natural wonders of Singapore and world-class wildlife attractions while amplifying the emotional depth of Jisoo’s music. This collaboration aims to promote the diverse charms of Singapore to global tourists through K-content and inspire viewers to visit the city. The content partnership with JISOO is expected to drive awareness of Singapore’s distinctive tourism offerings and inspire Korean and international visitors to experience the country’s rich culture and unique landscapes. STB has previously collaborated with global musical artists such as Jin, Coldplay, One Republic, Billie Eilish, Charlie Puth, Jackson Wang and Honne to spotlight Singapore to global audiences.
The special video, along with accompanying assets including a Behind the Scenes video, showcases some of Singapore’s immersive experiences inspired by nature. These include Rainforest Wild ASIA, the region’s first adventure-based zoological park which opened in March 2025 and offers an immersive Southeast Asian tropical rainforest experience, complete with wildlife encounters and treks through the forest floor. Also featured is the Singapore Zoo, renowned for its naturalistic and open-concept animal habitats. STB Executive Director for North Asia Serene Tan said, “Through this partnership, we hope to showcase Singapore’s unique landscapes and attractions such as the lush greenery and immersive wildlife experiences at the Mandai Wildlife Reserve, our key partner in this project. JISOO’s emotive performance brings to life the beauty of Singapore’s nature, and we hope her global influence will inspire more visitors and K-pop fans to discover and enjoy the memorable experiences our destination has to offer.” Mandai Wildlife Group Chief Sales and Marketing Officer Jean Choi said, “We’re excited to collaborate with STB on this music video. It’s a creative way to showcase the Mandai Wildlife Reserve and reveal a side of Singapore many may not expect. The precinct offers visually striking, memorable experiences that will resonate with Korean travellers who value curated, Instagrammable spots with emotional storytelling.”
Jisoo’s ‘Your Love’ special video was officially released last August 12, 2025 and a behind-the-scenes video will be uploaded after. To celebrate the launch of the video, Rainforest Wild Asia comes alive with the ‘Your Love Meets The Wild’, running until October 5, 2025. Step into an immersive rainforest adventure where love for nature meets wild exploration. Follow a curated trail that brings the video to life, guiding visitors through captivating locations from wildlife encounters to the stunning cavern chambers inspired by real-world caves.

The next-gen global girl group A2O MAY returns with “B.B.B (Bigger Badder Better) [feat. A2O LTG]”, a bold new single that lives up to its name – Bigger, Badder, Better. This next era marks a major step forward in the group’s mission to revolutionize global music, with “B.B.B” which features striking visuals and genre-defying sounds. Earlier this year, the quintet made global headlines after being the first Chinese idol group to perform at the well-renowned iHeartRadio’s Wango Tango, marking both their U.S. stage debut and simultaneous appearance on American television via KTLA.
“B.B.B (Bigger Badder Better) [feat. A2O LTG]” is an empowering, high-energy anthem for today’s youth — radiating confidence, self-expression, and unapologetic flair. Driven by an infectious pop beat and bold lyrics like “I’m bigger, badder, better than the cool kids” and “Don’t need nobody to follow”, the track celebrates owning your power and embracing your true self. With its irresistible hook and fearless attitude, B.B.B isn’t just a song — it’s a movement for young adults ready to stand out and shine. The highlight of “B.B.B (Bigger Badder Better) [feat. A2O LTG]” is the special feature by LTG (Low Teen Girls) — three members from A2O Entertainment’s Rookies unit, set to debut in the near future. Set against a lively school backdrop, the music video captures LTG as juniors admiring the stylish and popular seniors, A2O MAY, creating a relatable and charming storyline. The fresh rookie energy of A2O LTG paired with A2O MAY’s confident presence delivers a unique synergy, adding a next-generation twist that makes “B.B.B (Bigger Badder Better) [feat. A2O LTG]” especially memorable for fans and new listeners.
In just a few short months, A2O MAY has broken records and defied expectations in the U.S. Their pre-debut single “Under My Skin” made them the first Chinese group to enter the U.S. Top 40 Radio Chart, where it remained for two consecutive weeks. Their official debut single “BOSS” has now charted five consecutive weeks – rising from #35 to #32 – marking their second U.S. Top 40 entry and the highest charting placement in history by a Chinese girl group. The track has also amassed over 30 million views across Weibo and YouTube, fueled by the viral Jump Rope Dance featured in its chorus. With growing traction across both Asia and North America, A2O MAY is fast emerging as a leading powerhouse in global pop. Backed by K-pop pioneer Soo Man LEE and launched under A2O Entertainment, A2O MAY is the first group to embody “Zalpha Pop” — a genre blending Gen Z emotions and Gen Alpha’s creativity. Their music fuses futuristic production with emotionally resonant storytelling, creating cultural bridges through sound and style. Highlighting their unprecedented debut, the group attended the star-studded Amazon Studios’ “Lee Soo Man: King Of K-Pop” premiere in Los Angeles, the feature documentary chronicling the enthralling life of a bold visionary. The red carpet sparkled with icons such as Girls’ Generation members and Taemin from SHINee, sharing the spotlight with the rising group primed for global dominance.
