Jennie Holds Back Tears After Onstage Mishaps: "Not Everything Is Going to Be Perfect"

K-pop girl group BLACKPINK's Jennie has opened up about how she feels after wrapping up three months of festival performances.

Jennie shared a lengthy post on her social media on Aug. 17, looking back on her festival run. "Thank you guys for all the love and energy you've shared with me at every festival over these past three months. It's hard to put into words how much I've experienced, learned, and grown along the way."

She continued, "Looking back, there were so many unexpected moments, so many highs and lows, and I've realized that's just part of life."

Jennie reflected on what she had learned from the experience. "Not everything is going to be perfect, and maybe it's not supposed to be. I'm learning to appreciate every part of the journey for what it was, even the harder moments, because they taught me so much and helped me grow."

She concluded, "I'm leaving this chapter with so much love, gratitude, and inspiration, and so many memories I'll keep close to my heart. Thank you for being part of this journey with me. Until the next."

Jennie has taken the stage at a number of major festivals this year. She appeared as a headliner at seven global festivals, including The Governors Ball Music Festival in New York, Roskilde Festival in Denmark, Open'er Festival in Poland, 2026 MAD COOL FESTIVAL in Spain, Lollapalooza Chicago in the United States and Summer Sonic 2026 in Japan.

During her Summer Sonic 2026 performance at Expo '70 Commemorative Park in Osaka on Aug. 16, Jennie encountered issues with her outfit and microphone onstage. Videos showing her hands shaking and appearing to hold back tears later spread across online communities, drawing concern from fans.
