BLACKPINK Jennie & Olivia Rodrigo Embroiled in Viral Blind Item

On April 18, a blind item was posted on a gossip forum, which involved Jennie of BLACKPINK and singer-songwriter Olivia Rodrigo.

Blind items are simply information pieces which exclude the real identities of people involved in the story, by not mentioning their names and relaying topics that are mostly provoking. Usually, the accuracy of blind items is often questioned and consistently regarded as controversial.

In the blind item, the original poster (OP) named the piece "Blind Item #10 - Reader Blind." The story started with the caption describing a teenager who has a history with Disney, and a K-pop group member who is about to be featured in a streaming show.

According to the user, the two anonymous individuals were seen dancing together on an after-party, and even claimed there were reports of the two "making out."

"Blind Item #10 - Reader Blind

This teenage Grammy winning/nominated former Disney star and this K-pop girl group member who is going to be in streaming show, were seen dancing very close to each other at an after party. There were even reports they were making out."

When the viral blind item circulated online, netizens quickly suspected that the two anonymous people mentioned would be none other than Jennie and Olivia Rodrigo. This is due to Jennie making her acting debut in the HBO Originals show "The Idol," while Olivia Rodrigo have had roles in Disney's "Bizzardvark," "High School Musical: The Musical: The Series," as well as earned her notable wins during the 2022 Grammy Awards.

On April 15, BLACKPINK made history as the first Korean act to headline the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. The quartet took everyone's breath away with their performances, solo stages, and charismatic presence.

After the main event, BLACKPINK attended the "PINKCHELLA' after-party, where various celebrities made their appearances. The social gathering even pulled various artists in attendance such as Tyga, ASTRO Cha Eun Woo, and more.

With these events being intertwined on the blind item's statement, the online community further discussed the context's precision. YG Entertainment hasn't released an official statement on the matter.

BLINKs Frustrated by Blind Item's Claims, Debunk Allegations

On the TikTok video uploaded by "@thekylamarisa," netizens immediately flocked the post's comment section and expressed their opinions.

Fans of both artists stated the claims as misleading since Olivia Rodrigo wasn't present in Coachella 2023 at all. The rumors even reached out on Twitter, where users raised their eyebrows and disagreed with the blind item.

Read their comments below:

"Not Jennie. I think she means streaming performance/show at Coachella. Olivia Rodrigo is in NY. Rosé was recently in NY."

"Babe Olivia is not at Coachella."

"Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought Olivia Rodrigo was in New York at the time."
