Did Blackpink’s Rose, Lisa, Jennie IGNORE Jisoo? Deadline Concert Controversy EXPLAINED

BLACKPINK

are all set for the release of their comeback mini album Deadline. The 4 member group that consists of Lisa, Jennie, Rose and Jisoo have long been one of the most famous girl-bands in South Korea as well as all over the world. However, a recent clip from their ongoing Deadline Tour has left fans concerned about the equation that the girls share and even the future of the band. Why do fans think Jisoo is being ignored by the rest of the members? Let us look at the entire controversy in detail.

Blackpink members are isolating Jisoo?

Recently, a clip from Deadline Tour went viral, where all 4 girls are sitting on the edge of the stage and singing. However, three of them - Rose, Lisa and Jennie appear to be enjoying on their own, while Jisoo seems to be out of place as no one bothers to include her. The Boyfriend On Demand star is first sitting on Rose's side, who is jamming with Jennie. Lisa is also seen interacting with the other two. Jisoo then gets up and walks to Jennie's side, looking a little awkward but still smiling. Jennie, on the other hand, keeps singing with the other two. Jisoo looks at the crowd on the opposite side and begins interacting with them instead.

This awkward moment has raised questions about the girl's equation with each other. While some are worried about Jisoo feeling left out, others think BLINKS are looking for drama where there isn't any. Take a look at the controversial video:

Fans think 'less famous' Jisoo is being ignored

The video soon spread like wildfire and fans had a strong reaction to it. One said on X, "3/4 are well known internationally and they know it.", while another was disappointed and wrote, "How awful that they ignore her, and that the exclusion was very clear. A fan stuck up for Jisoo and stated that the other 3 are jealous of her because Jisoo is the best in the group.

Another netizen pointed out that the interaction is giving 'mean girls vibe' and the other 3 made it way too obvious. However, a fan offered a new perspective and mentioned that Jisoo was sitting on one end and jennie was singing, so they were paying attention to her. The user also mentioned that they said her name and sang along on her part too, and asked, "is it their fault that she got up?

The future of BLACKPINK

Blackpink and BLINKS are waiting for February 26 - when the mini album Deadline will be released. However, 2026 is also the year when the group's contract with YG Entertainment ends. As of now, there is no official confirmation about Blackpink renewing their contract, which is making fans think the group might disband and all the girls - who already have well-established solo careers, will do their own things. Amid this speculation, Jisoo being ignored by internationally better known members Jennie, Rose and Lisa is being seen as early indication of a possible split. Earlier too, Jisoo fans were upset when her single with Zayn Malik did not receive much support from her own group members.
