In the videos that circulated, some netizens said that Jisoo seemed to be left out by Lisa, Jennie and Rosé while singing her part. The clips show the idol looking confused, standing, moving and then returning to his seat, moments that were quickly interpreted by 일부 cư dân mạng as signs of discomfort or exclusion. As a result, debates have erupted on social media, with discussions extending to BLACKPINK’s internal dynamics.
Following the release of these images, many viewers expressed anger, accusing Lisa, Jennie and Rosé of “acting as if Jisoo doesn’t exist.” Some even suggest that Jisoo has long been sidelined in group activities. On the other hand, longtime BLACKPINK fans pushed back against these claims, claiming that the viral clips were selectively edited and taken out of context, exaggerating what was, in reality, a normal on-stage moment.
The controversy surrounding Jisoo once again highlights how K-pop idols face scrutiny over even the smallest gestures. On stage, a brief glance, a missed interaction, or a small change in position can be quickly analyzed and framed as evidence of internal conflict. In the high-pressure K-pop industry, where performances are captured in high definition and disseminated online in seconds, idols are left little room for ordinary, unattended moments.
Many artists before Jisoo have faced similar accusations of being ignored by teammates, mistreated by management, or unfairly favored by the media. However, in reality, a performance that lasts only a few minutes cannot accurately reflect the relationships formed over years of training, schedules and shared experiences. Isolating a single moment and turning it into a test of disagreement can place unnecessary psychological pressure on artists.
For globally popular groups like BLACKPINK, public attention is even more intense, blurring the line between interest and excessive scrutiny. Fans often expect members to always show perfect unity, forgetting that idols are human, sometimes focusing on their individual parts or simply missing a moment of interaction between complex choreography and stage direction.
So far, Jisoo has remained silent about the rumors, choosing not to respond to claims that she was “isolated” within the group. Meanwhile, his continued public interactions and moments shared with BLACKPINK members off-stage have led many fans to believe that the controversy is yet another example of how easily isolated clips can be misinterpreted, fueling unnecessary speculation about group relationships.
