BLACKPINK Has BLINKs Crying In Their 'BORN PINK' Concert Because of THIS
BLACKPINK has made headlines on their Osaka "BORN PINK" concert, energizing audiences with their stages. However, fans were also moved because of THIS reason.
Here's what happened.
BLACKPINK Members Make BLINKs Cry For Filling In Jisoo's Place
On June 3 and 4, BLACKPINK held their "BORN PINK" world tour concert on Osaka, Japan as a three-membered act due to Jisoo's health condition.
Apart from delivering powerful performances to BLINKs, the Osaka set will also be remembered as the group's first time to perform a "BORN PINK" world tour concert with three members.
On June 1, BLINKs were shocked to know that member Jisoo has contracted COVID-19, leading her to sit out their Osaka concerts in Japan.
While the idol was more than willing to keep her promise to fans by performing, it was ultimately decided to cancel her appearances for the safety of audiences and her speedy recovery.
"When Jisoo showed mild cold symptoms, a self-test was made on May 30. Originally, Jisoo's first test produced a negative result, but eventually came out as positive on June 1," YG Entertainment stated.

They continued, "Jisoo wanted to keep her promise to fans by performing. However, she decided not to proceed further to focus on her health."
YG Entertainment also encouraged everyone to support the group's concerts in Osaka, despite lacking one member.
When the concerts for both days were held, BLINKs couldn't help but be touched by the members' simple but heartwarming gestures. Members Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa made it like as if Jisoo's presence was there by holding out their mics in her song parts.

Instead of singing her parts, the group used playback of Jisoo from past performances to highlight their unity as a quartet. 🩷 pic.twitter.com/aqfjmMdCkt
They also made Jisoo's presence visible by leaving a space for their group photo with BLINKs and doing the key point choreography of "FLOWER." Fans became emotional to see the members include Jisoo in their concerts. Some hilariously pointed out BLACKPINK's chaotic nature during Jisoo's absence!

Meanwhile, Jisoo has written to BLINKs and addressed the situation. The "FLOWER" songstress expressed her regret about not being able to perform for fans at Osaka. Jisoo also promised to meet with fans again once her recovery is done.
[TRANS] @BLACKPINK’s #JISOO with regards to #BORNPINKinOSAKA show:
“Hello this is Jisoo!
I was waiting and looking forward for the moment I get to meet Blinks in Osaka after 3 years, but I am so sorry and sad to greet you guys this way.
