Jennie’s Coachella Slip-Up Sends Fans Into Panic: Wardrobe Mishap Nearly Derails Performance
Jennie, member of global K-pop sensation BLACKPINK, stunned fans with her electrifying solo set during the second weekend of Coachella 2025.
Performing once again on the Outdoor Theatre stage, the idol received widespread praise for her improved vocals and powerful stage presence compared to her first-week set. However, amid her standout performance, a wardrobe mishap nearly turned into a stage disaster.
During her performance of “Start A War,” Jennie was seen descending a staircase when her heel caught on the hem of her outfit. The brief moment sent a wave of concern through the crowd as fans feared she might fall from the steps onto the stage below. The situation became so tense that Korean entertainment site Koreaboo headlined it, “BLACKPINK Jennie’s Unexpected Wardrobe Malfunction Almost Causes Disaster During ‘Coachella.’”
Fortunately, Jennie displayed impeccable professionalism. She quickly squatted down, freed her heel from the tangled fabric, and resumed the performance with grace and composure. Her poised and professional response drew widespread praise from netizens. However, many also expressed concern over how wardrobe malfunctions can distract artists or even pose serious safety risks.
This wasn’t the only safety scare during Coachella 2025. During Lisa’s set the previous weekend, a cameraman slipped and fell while filming on the stage stairs during the performance of “Thunder.” Luckily, he wasn’t seriously hurt and was able to walk offstage on his own.
Jennie’s near miss has once again sparked conversations about performer safety at major events like Coachella. While the mishap didn’t deter the success of her performance, it served as a stark reminder of the hazards artists face while trying to deliver flawless shows on intricate stages.
