BLACKPINK Members Face Backlash After Viral Video Allegedly Shows Jisoo Being Ignored
BLACKPINK has become the subject of renewed online discussion after viral clips from the group’s DEADLINE World Tour appeared to show Jisoo separated from Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa during a performance. Some fans accused the other members of ignoring her, while others argued that short concert clips cannot establish what happened between the members. No official statement has confirmed that Jisoo was intentionally excluded.
What Happened in the Viral BLACKPINK Video?
A series of short videos from BLACKPINK’s DEADLINE World Tour began circulating widely online in January 2026. The clips showed moments involving Jisoo and her three groupmates, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa, during the final stage of the tour in Hong Kong.
One particular clip attracted attention because Jisoo appeared to be sitting or standing apart while the other members interacted with one another. Some social media users interpreted the moment as Jisoo being deliberately left out. Others pushed back against that interpretation, pointing out that a short video captures only a few seconds of a much longer concert.
The discussion became especially intense because BLACKPINK have spent years being known for their close relationship as a group. As a result, even a brief interaction between the four members can receive enormous attention online.
Reports from Koreaboo described the clips as showing Jisoo allegedly being “ignored,” while other coverage similarly reported that fans were questioning the group’s dynamic. Importantly, these reports documented fan reactions and interpretations, rather than confirming that the members intentionally excluded Jisoo.

Why Were BLACKPINK Fans Concerned About Jisoo?
The reaction largely came from how the viral footage looked when viewed without the surrounding performance. Some fans focused on moments when Jisoo appeared to move toward the other members but did not immediately receive the interaction they expected.
Social media posts quickly turned those moments into a much larger discussion about the group’s friendship. Some users described Jisoo as being left out, while others questioned whether the members were still as close as they had been in previous years.
However, there is an important distinction between what a video visibly shows and what viewers believe caused it. A camera can capture one person looking away, moving to another position, or interacting with someone else without showing everything happening outside the frame.
That distinction matters particularly in concert footage. Performers constantly move according to choreography, stage positions, camera directions, cues, and interactions with the audience. A few seconds of footage therefore cannot, by itself, establish the private feelings or intentions of the people involved.
The Viral Clip Does Not Confirm Intentional Ignoring
The central claim surrounding the controversy is that BLACKPINK members intentionally ignored Jisoo. That claim has circulated widely online, but there is no official confirmation establishing that this was the reason for the interaction shown in the viral footage.
Koreaboo reported the backlash and quoted social media reactions accusing Rosé, Jennie, and Lisa of ignoring Jisoo. Other reports also described fans debating whether Jisoo appeared isolated during the final concerts.
At the same time, other footage from the tour showed the four members together. The existence of different moments is one reason fans have disagreed about what the viral clips actually mean.
This is also why it is safer to describe the incident as fan speculation surrounding a viral video, rather than as proof of a conflict inside BLACKPINK.
BLACKPINK’s DEADLINE Tour Context
The videos emerged around the end of BLACKPINK’s major DEADLINE World Tour, which included the group’s Hong Kong concerts at Kai Tak Stadium.
YG Entertainment officially announced the additional Hong Kong show for January 26, 2026, alongside the previously scheduled January 24 and 25 concerts. The official schedule therefore covered three consecutive performances in Hong Kong.
| Event | Date | Location |
|---|---|---|
| BLACKPINK DEADLINE Hong Kong | January 24, 2026 | Kai Tak Stadium |
| BLACKPINK DEADLINE Hong Kong | January 25, 2026 | Kai Tak Stadium |
| Additional Hong Kong show | January 26, 2026 | Kai Tak Stadium |
| DEADLINE mini album | February 27, 2026 | Global release |
The timing made the clips particularly noticeable because the Hong Kong performances represented the final stretch of the tour. YG had previously described the tour as a major global schedule spanning numerous cities and shows.
Fan Reactions Split Across Social Media
The BLACKPINK Jisoo viral video controversy produced two broad reactions.
Some fans believed the footage showed Jisoo being sidelined and expressed disappointment toward the other members. Others argued that the reaction was being exaggerated and that fans were reading too much into a short piece of concert footage.
This disagreement is common when idol interactions are recorded from a single camera angle. Fans may notice a gesture, facial expression, or moment of distance and then attempt to understand its meaning without access to the full context.
For international K-pop audiences, this can be especially difficult because clips can spread across X, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube Shorts, and other platforms within minutes. By the time a video reaches millions of viewers, the original context may have been separated from the clip.
The controversy therefore became less about a confirmed event and more about how different viewers interpreted the same footage.
Rosé’s Comments About BLACKPINK’s Relationship
The discussion also received attention because Rosé has spoken publicly about her relationship with her BLACKPINK members.
Around the same period, coverage highlighted comments from Rosé describing the members as best friends, sisters, family, and colleagues. She also discussed how spending time apart for individual activities had given the members different experiences before returning to work together.
Those comments provided additional context for fans discussing the viral footage. They do not prove what happened during the particular moment shown in the clip, but they are relevant because they represent Rosé’s publicly expressed view of her relationship with the other members.
That makes it important to separate documented statements from online interpretations when discussing BLACKPINK’s personal relationships.
No Official Confirmation of a Member Conflict
As of the available reporting, there has been no official announcement from YG Entertainment confirming that Jennie, Rosé, or Lisa deliberately ignored Jisoo during the performance.
YG’s official communications around the period focused on BLACKPINK’s tour and music activities. The agency confirmed the Hong Kong schedule and later promoted the group’s continuing projects.
Therefore, claims that the viral footage proves a serious disagreement among the members should be treated as unverified fan interpretation.
That distinction is especially important for a news report. A viral post can demonstrate that people are talking about an event, but it does not automatically establish why the people in the video behaved in a particular way.
What Happens Next for BLACKPINK?
The viral discussion came during an important period for BLACKPINK because the group was continuing its activities after a long period in which the members also pursued individual projects.
YG officially announced BLACKPINK’s third mini album DEADLINE for February 27, 2026. The announcement described the project as the group’s return as a full group following a three-year gap between group releases.
For fans, the group’s future activities provide more meaningful evidence about its current dynamic than isolated clips. Future performances, interviews, behind-the-scenes content, and official group appearances may offer additional context about how the four members interact.
Until then, the viral footage remains a topic of discussion rather than proof of an internal dispute.
FAQ

Conclusion
The BLACKPINK Jisoo viral video controversy shows how quickly a few seconds of concert footage can become a major topic across the K-pop community. Some fans interpreted the clips as evidence that Jisoo was being ignored by Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa, while others argued that the footage lacked enough context to support that conclusion. Current reporting confirms the online backlash, but it does not establish intentional exclusion or a serious conflict between the members.
For now, the most accurate approach is to distinguish what was actually visible in the footage from the conclusions people drew from it. BLACKPINK’s official schedules and announcements continued to show the group working together through the end of the DEADLINE tour and its subsequent group activities.
