Jennie apologizes for abruptly stopping performance

Recently, on her personal page, Jennie (BlackPink) apologized to fans for not being able to complete her performance in Melbourne, Australia due to poor health.

Jennie feels sorry to fans after leaving the stage and ending the performance abruptly

The idol wrote: "Love to Blinks in Melbourne. I'm so sorry I couldn't finish the concert on Sunday. I'm doing my best to recover. Your understanding and support means the world to me. Thank you all for coming to the show in Melbourne. I love you."

Previously, on June 11, Jennie suddenly left the stage, stopping performing when the group performed the song "Lovesick Girls" during a concert in Australia.

BlackPink's manager revealed that Jennie vomited continuously all day and had to receive IV fluids before performing.

That same evening, YG Entertainment - the female idol's management company, issued a statement saying: "Jennie was unable to complete the performance due to poor health. We apologize to the fans who supported BlackPink and attended the performance. We hope you understand."

YG Entertainment added that Jennie wanted to continue performing until the end of the concert. However, medical staff at the scene advised the female idol to rest.

Jennie had health problems at concert in Australia

This is not the first time Jennie has had health problems due to her high workload. In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, the female idol revealed that she does not have good resistance and often falls ill.

"These days I often think about whether I am living a healthy life. I was physically and mentally exhausted after the world tour (in 2020). The intensity of work made us not have time to sleep, eat unscientifically and do not provide enough water for the body.

"I have an allergic reaction to everything I touch. My immune system is not working, but the group still has to travel. We are currently preparing for our upcoming comeback and tour. I am always wondering how to keep myself healthy during the next two busy years," Jennie confided.

When idols fall ill from "overload"

Recently, BlackPink members are on a world tour. The tour schedule is quite tight. The members have to fly between different locations, not to mention their personal schedules.

Previously, BlackPink members repeatedly showed that their health was not guaranteed when performing at many concerts. Recently, Jisoo contracted Covid-19 and had to be absent from the group's performance in Japan.

BlackPink has a busy schedule in 2023

Not only BlackPink members, many Kpop stars also fall into the same situation when having to perform dense tours.

Naver even had to admit: "Idols' fatigue will reach its limit when they go on overseas tours."

Typically, with the group BTS, few people expect that behind the spectacular performances in front of millions of audiences, there is the exhaustion of the members.

“When I said the promotional schedule was difficult for the group, I felt guilty. Because I was afraid that the fans would feel disappointed in the group. Even when I said I wanted to rest, I felt like I did something bad,” leader RM once confided.

In addition, the limited contract period is also the reason why many companies try to exploit and promote activities to gain as much profit as possible.

BTS

Previously, Twice shocked everyone by releasing 3 products in 3 months, continuously organizing world tours, filming commercials, participating in TV shows. Their health was eroded and Mina had to stop working due to anxiety disorder in 2019, Jungyeon had a herniated disc in her neck and psychological problems.

Similarly, Wanna One revealed that the group only slept 1 hour a day, Rei (IVE) took a break to treat his health, Lay (EXO) fainted twice due to exhaustion, Jungkook (BTS) cried on livestream because he was too tired... partly exposing the harshness of the Korean entertainment industry.

The Insider newspaper commented that the life of Kpop idols is harsh, extremely stressful and cramped. They are expected to meet extremely high public standards and have to show that Kpop is “safe and healthy”: no violence, stimulants, mental health problems, sexual harassment, bullying...

And the LA Times exposed: "Behind the songs that sweep the charts are people, even problematic people."
