During BLACKPINK’s Melbourne concert on June 11, Jennie left the stage in the middle of the group’s “Lovesick Girls” performance. Jisoo, Rosé, and Lisa then finished the show as a trio. YG Entertainment later confirmed that “Jennie was unable to complete the stage due to her deteriorating condition.”

Since then, Jennie has been resting in preparation for BLACKPINK’s future shows. The “Solo” singer also took to her Instagram account to share an apology to Melbourne BLINKs who missed her performance.

“Dear Melbourne Blinks – I’m so sorry I wasn’t able to finish the show on Sunday,” she wrote. Jennie also assured fans of her current state.

“I am doing my best to recover atm. Your understanding and support means the world to me,” she continued. Finally, Jennie expressed her gratitude towards her fans.

“Thank you everyone who came to our Melbourne show, Love you guys!” she concluded.

BLACKPINK will continue with the BORN PINK World Tour in Australia and is scheduled to perform in Sydney this week. The group is set for a two-night show in Sydney on June 16 and 17, 2023.

In related news, YG Entertainment addressed the rumors about Jennie’s possible casting in a Marvel film. A report suggested that the BLACKPINK member has been cast as Seol Hee aka Luna Snow, a K-pop idol who becomes a superhero after gaining ice-based powers.

The rumored project will reportedly introduce the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s first Asian superhero team which is believed to be Agents of Atlas. Although fans were already excited about Jennie joining the MCU, YG Entertainment has confirmed that the casting news is not true.

Jisoo will not be joining the rest of BLACKPINK in their upcoming schedules. The “Flower” singer has tested positive for COVID-19 and will miss out on the BORN PINK Osaka dates this weekend.

YG Entertainment Announces Jisoo’s Absence From BLACKPINK’s Osaka Dates

YG Entertainment issued a statement regarding Jisoo’s current condition on Weverse. The agency confirmed that although Kim Jisoo wants to perform in Osaka, she will need to rest.

“Jisoo had mild cold symptoms on May 30,” the statement read. “She initially tested negative in a self-diagnosis kit but tested positive today.”

“Jisoo showed a strong will to perform for the tour to keep her promise to fans who have been waiting for a long time. But inevitably, we have decided it would be best for her not to participate in the performance for the safety of everyone as well as the artist’s health.”

The statement then announced that BLACKPINK will perform with three members this weekend.

“Accordingly, only three members – Jennie, Lisa, and Rosé – will participate in the [BORN PINK] world tour concert held in Osaka, Japan on June 3 and 4,” YG confirmed.

“Knowing the expectations and anticipation of the fans who have been waiting for the performance, we will do our best to present the performance as scheduled. We will do our best not only for Jisoo’s quick recovery but also for the health and safety of our artists,” the statement concluded.

Jisoo had previously performed with the rest of BLACKPINK at the BORN PINK Bangkok date. Hopefully, Kim Ji-soo will be able to join Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa in the next scheduled concerts.

In related news, Jisoo was recently given the Hanteo Chart Initial Chodong Certification Award for becoming the first female soloist to be a million seller. She was given the award for the success of her debut solo single “Flower” from the single album ‘ME’.

“It feels absolutely unreal,” Rosé said. “I think performing for Coachella in 2019 was a moment that really woke us up as BLACKPINK—to be motivated, to dream on and dream big.” She added. “But we never expected anything as big as being the headliner of a festival we’ve all grown up admiring and hoping someday we could find ourselves in the crowd of.”

“It is an honor to perform as a headliner for Coachella festival; we want to show our improvement as BLACKPINK on stage — and will — so, stay tuned,” Jisoo stated.

BLACKPINK is currently on the BORN PINK World Tour. The girl group will perform as the main headliners on both Coachella festival weekends on April 15 and 22, 2023.
