Meanwhile, prior to Jennie, Jisoo earlier tested positive for COVID-19 on June 1, leading her not to attend the Osaka concert held at the Kyocera Dome in Japan on the 3rd and 4th.
Since October 2022, BLACKPINK has been conducting the largest world tour of K-pop girl groups, "BLACKPINK WORLD TOUR [BORN PINK]," to attract about 1.5 million people which will continue until August 2023.
During that period, the members weren't really able to take enough rest due to their other work as global ambassadors to luxury brands, solo albums and promotions.
With these health conditions of the members, BLINKs then called the attention of YG Entertainment and were asking them to take care of the members' health better, including enough rest and breaks in between.
