Recently, BLACKPINK wrapped up three consecutive sold-out shows for their DEADLINE world tour at Bangkok’s Rajamangala Stadium, becoming the first artist in history to do so at Thailand’s largest stadium with a capacity of 40,000. The event was a resounding success, particularly emotional for fans as it took place in member Lisa’s home country.
However, a moment during the concert has sparked heated debate online, after a clip went viral showing Jennie seemingly isolated on stage while Lisa, Rosé, and Jisoo chatted energetically with the crowd. The video which has garnered over 2 million views shows Jennie quietly walking around alone or standing still while the other three engaged with fans.
Some viewers expressed concern, suggesting Jennie had been “ignored” or “left out” during the interaction. Comments like “Why aren’t they talking to Jennie?” and “Jennie looks lonely” flooded social media, with fans questioning the group dynamic and even speculating tension between members.
Despite the backlash, others pointed out that this may be a misunderstanding. In the same segment, Lisa was seen asking Jennie about her favorite Thai dishes, to which Jennie responded excitedly. Many fans also noted that Lisa, being in her homeland, naturally took the lead in the fan interactions, especially in Thai, which may have limited participation from other members.
Veteran concertgoers defended the group, saying that each member takes turns leading interactions depending on the country Lisa in Thailand, Jennie in Korea, Rosé in Australia, and so on. They emphasized that such moments shouldn’t be taken out of context.
Ultimately, while the viral clip fueled debate, a fuller view of the concert reveals Jennie was very much engaged, smiling, dancing, and enjoying the moment with her members and fans in Bangkok.
