Blackpink’s Jennie said sorry to her fans after leaving mid-way through the girl group’s concert in Melbourne, Australia last June 11, due to her “deteriorating condition.”
Jennie caught the attention of fans during the second night of Blackpink’s “Born Pink” show in Melbourne, as she left mid-performance and didn’t return for the rest of the concert, according to Korean entertainment platform Soompi. The report also noted that she was absent during the soundcheck on the same day.
Following her sudden departure from the stage, YG Entertainment confirmed in a statement that the “Solo” singer was unable to perform during the entirety of the concert due to health concerns.
“Jennie expressed her strong determination to carry on with the performance until the end. However, following medical advice on site, we immediately took measures to ensure she receives ample rest and stability,” YG said. “Jennie has conveyed her regrets for not being able to stay with the fans until the end, and assures that she will recover as soon as possible.”
Days after the concert, Jennie took to her Instagram Story on Tuesday night, June 13, to apologize to her fans, saying she’s doing her best to recover.
