Rumors of a rift between BLACKPINK members Jennie and Lisa have surfaced among international fans following their performances at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. The speculation has caught the attention of international media.
According to reports from media outlets in the U.S., Canada, and India, the rumors began when fans claimed that Jennie did not attend Lisa's performance on April 11. Instead, she was seen enjoying Lady Gaga's set on the same day, which fueled the controversy. In contrast, Lisa attended and supported Jennie's solo performance on April 13, alongside fellow member Rosé.
The English-language entertainment outlet KOIMOI, based in India, reported that Jennie's absence from Lisa's performance, while attending Lady Gaga's, drew reactions from some fans. The outlet also highlighted fan comments on X, suggesting tension between the two members.
Koreaboo, a U.S.-based K-pop media outlet, noted that the claims about Jennie missing Lisa's performance have caused discord within the fanbase. Opinions are divided on whether Jennie was present at Lisa's show. IMDb News, operated by U.S. tech giant Amazon, also mentioned the ongoing online speculation about Jennie and Lisa's relationship.
Meanwhile, BLACKPINK members are currently focusing on their solo activities. Lisa performed her solo set on April 11, while Jennie took the stage on April 13 at Coachella. Jennie is also scheduled to perform again on April 20.
