Thania Garcia Blackpink member Jennie was forced to exit the stage during the group’s “Born Pink” tour stop in Australia over the weekend due to what YG Entertainment has described in a statement as “her deteriorating condition.” The agency’s statement was issued on the same day of the show (June 11) and included an apology to fans on behalf of Jennie, along with a note that she would recover as soon as possible. “Jennie was unable to complete the stage due to her deteriorating condition,” the entertainment agency stated on the fan platform on WeVerse. “We would like to extend our sincerest apologies to all the fans who have shown their support for Blackpink and those who attended the event.

We kindly ask for your understanding in this situation.” In fan-captured videos of the event, Jennie can be seen dancing alongside bandmates Rosé, Lisa and Jisoo as they sang “Lovesick Girls.” Suddenly, the singer and “Idol” actor stops and quickly turns around and walks down a set of steps to exit the stage.

The statement additionally claimed Jennie had expressed a “strong determination to carry on with the performance until the end,” but was advised by medical professionals to not continue. “We immediately took measures to ensure she receives ample rest and stability,” YG shared.

Blackpink has been on tour since October of last year and is slated to close the trek in Auckland later this month, with their next appearances being two back-to-back sold-out shows in Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena Friday on June 16 and 17.
