Various health issues

With an average schedule of about 1 concert every 4 days in North America, fans discovered many alarming signs of health problems in BLACKPINK members. In particular, after the October 29th concert in Houston, USA, images of Jisoo with a lump in her neck quickly roused concerns among BLINKs (fans of BLACKPINK). This lump often appears when a person is exhausted or has developed illnesses such as a cold or fever, and in the end, YG had to confirm that Jisoo’s health is perfectly fine.

Meanwhile, during the Hamilton concert, Jennie seemed to have experienced pain in her leg and had to cease performing. She then had to sit in a corner while the other members continued to perform. This makes fans worry about Jennie, and brought up previous remarks of the female idol, where she said she often feels tired during concert tours.
