On October 11, Lisa thrilled fans by posting a story to congratulate Jennie unnie on her comeback. In the story, she excitedly expressed:
“Omg!!!!! @.jennierubyjane
She ate, girl so happy for you, unnie ”
With heart and kiss emojis, Lisa’s sweet and humorous message quickly caught the attention of fans. This shows that Lisa is still very actively supporting the solo activities of the BLACKPINK members.
Not only that, during a livestream on the evening of October 11, Jennie personally revealed the reactions of BLACKPINK members when watching the “Mantra” music video. Jennie shared Lisa’s reaction: “I received compliments about the choreography from Lisa. Do you know how important that is? Lisa said that the choreography is really amazing.”
Jennie’s words seem to dispel the rumors that the two have been at odds with each other. It appears that Jennie sent the “Mantra” MV to Lisa before its official release, and upon receiving compliments from the youngest member about the choreography, she couldn’t hide her joy.
Prior to this, rumors about Lisa having conflicts with the other three members had been circulating on social media. Specifically, on October 2, a picture featuring only three members of BLACKPINK went viral on social media platform X, amassing 3.4 million views and 33,600 likes. The photo only included Jennie, Jisoo, and Rosé, with the caption, “The real pretty girls who always support each other.”
The real intent behind the photo is to criticize Lisa, after many fans believe that Lisa lacks enthusiasm when it comes to supporting her fellow members and rarely posts about their solo projects. Even during BLACKPINK anniversaries or group song releases, she often prioritizes posting pictures of herself rather than the entire group. Meanwhile, Jisoo, Jennie, and Rosé are seen frequently supporting each other on social media.
This photo has sparked debates across the internet. Fans siding with the trio argue that Lisa has frequently failed to post or has delayed posting about the other members’ projects. While missing a few posts might be accidental, they feel that Lisa’s continued behavior suggests she lacks care for her fellow members. Most recently, only Jennie and Jisoo shared posts supporting Rosé’s new album.
In addition, there have been numerous instances where Lisa only posts pictures of herself, while Jisoo, Jennie, and Rosé regularly share photos of the entire group.
However, many fans have countered this view. They argue that BLACKPINK has been together for many years, and their bond cannot be measured solely by social media posts or likes.
In fact, BLACKPINK’s Jisoo herself scoffed at rumors of discord about BLACKPINK, stating on Lee Young-ji’s “My Alcohol Diary” that she laughed when seeing conflict rumors between BLACKPINK members.
“We (BLACKPINK members) laugh when we see those things. I say [things] like ‘They say that I am your competition, so be careful’, ‘Hey, why didn’t you post it on your Instagram, it made a rumor’, ‘You should have promoted my album’ like this, right? We treat them as a joke”, the female idol said.
