Blackpink Fans Send Jennie Support After Singer Exits Mid-Concert

Blackpink‘s Jennie was forced to exit the stage on Sunday (June 11) during the K-pop girl group’s Melbourne show at Rod Laver Arena.

The unfortunate moment occurred during the group song “Lovesick Girls” when Jennie, whose energy was noticeably low, abruptly left the stage. The three remaining members, Rosé, Lisa, and Jisoo, explained to the crowd that Jennie hadn’t been feeling well all day and had even skipped soundcheck due to her illness.

In a statement posted to Weverse, the group’s entertainment company, YG, confirmed, “We regret to inform you that during the BLACKPINK WORLD TOUR [BORN PINK] IN MELBOURNE performance on June 11 (today), member JENNIE was unable to complete the stage due to her deteriorating condition.”

They concluded, “We would like to ask for your understanding.”

“Get well soon, my love,” one fan tweeted.

Another Blink advocated for Jennie getting some much-needed rest as she recovers from her sickness.

“It’s okay. Please, we understand. Melbourne will understand,” someone else assured on Twitter.

Many fans noticed that Jennie wasn’t feeling her best during the concert, with one person noting on Twitter, “The way her smile just disappears as the lights went out,” in response to a video claiming that Jennie was “throwing up” before the show.

Another fan noticed that she seemed off when introducing herself to the crowd, describing her languid tone as “lowercase letters.”

The group’s next tour dates will take them to Sydney, Australia, where they’re set to play on June 16 and June 17.
