Why Jennie Unexpectedly Exited BLACKPINK Concert Early

Jennie Ruby Jane is prioritizing her health.

The BLACKPINK member left the stage midway through a performance in Melbourne June 11 due to a medical issue. In a video from the concert posted to Twitter, Jennie is seen exiting the stage and being escorted down the stairs and under the stage by security. Further clips from the show posted online ahead of her exit feature Jennie holding onto the side of the stage and breathing deeply in and out during a song. 

After the show, the band’s management company released a statement to explain what happened.

“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,” YG Entertainment confirmed in their statement. “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.”
