She's not trans. The problem is that part of the video has a dump as a background and the authorities think it is showing the country in a bad light.
Romantic Cambodia is dead and gone. It's with McKinley in the grave.

Latest Thai artist, turned K-Pop Blackpink star 'copying Cambodia' in part of her latest video (from 2.27).
Sensible people point out that Thai province of Buriram Province is next to Cambodia, so of course there will be similarities,
"Many Cambodian fans who are fans of Korean singer Lisa from Blackpink are very upset after the singer released his first solo music video, wearing a crown and adding a temple gate that is almost identical to Khmer temple, but it is understood by other nations as Thai....... Also, it is claimed that the temple that appears in this K-Pop music video is not a Khmer temple, it is Phnom Rong temple in Borei Rom province, Thailand, while this temple has a style similar to Bayon temple.
However, Cambodian fans have expressed dissatisfaction with the new music video, saying that they are in pain that their own culture is unknown to other nations and even impersonated by others."

Been a busy week at the Culture Dept.
A song called "Death of Jayavarman VII" was banned and the singer sung by Meas Soksophea forced to apologize for upsetting the dignity of the royal family through 'incorrect historical truth'- despite the fact that J7 passed away circa 1218AD.
Today flambouyant designer and controversial fashionista Em Riem- known for his interesting takes on the catwalk has upset the ministry with a photo/meme.
The Ministry of Culture and Fine Arts wrote:
"The Disciplinary and Commendation Council of Artists would like to inform Em Riem, the owner of Pak EM Riem, that the Disciplinary and Commendation Council has seen the publicly posted picture of him that is obscene and harmful to the traditional culture and dignity of the society.
In the same case, the Secretariat of the Disciplinary and Praise Council of Artists has previously invited him to educate the public that he has already posted such images once before, so the Disciplinary and Praise Council of Artists requires Mr. Em "Ready to delete that image immediately from all social media.... If you do not comply with this notice, the Disciplinary and Praise Council of Artists will take action in accordance with the law in force.
The Disciplinary and Commendation Council of Artists hopes to believe that he really complied with this notice, stopping all use of images that affect the national tradition and return to using his talents to promote traditional culture of the nation, as the descendants of the Khmer people with high civilization. ”
Luckily the media happily reprinted the offending images and the bad song. https://www.fastnewsdaily.com/d/105046

I'm disgusted so I'm not all that surprised that others are.
