On Sunday, K-pop star Jennie from the group BLACKPINK surprised fans by leaving the stage mid-performance due to health reasons in the Melbourne leg of their Born Pink tour.
The group's management company gave an update on the 27-year-old K-pop singer's condition following the concert.
"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," read a statement from the company on Weverse.
The statement continued, "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,".
"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. We will do its utmost to support Jennie's speedy recovery. We would like to ask for your understanding once again. Thank you."
In a video posted by a fan on Twitter, "The Idol" actress was joined onstage by other bandmates, Rosé, Lisa and Jisoo as they performed "Lovesick Girls", when she began to look visibly drained before walking off the stage and not returning.
The rest of the group told the audience that Jennie has been feeling unwell the entire day.
BLACKPINK has a couple of days of rest before they are set to take the stage at the Qudos Bank Arena on Friday and Saturday. It is unclear if Jennie will be back onstage with the other members.
