Jennie’s Coachella Exit Sparks Debate Over Her Relationship with Lisa and Rumored Boyfriend Frédéric Arnault
On April 18, performing once again at the Sahara Stage with the same 13-song setlist that made headlines the previous week, Lisa captivated audiences with a visually stunning show. During Lisa’s electrifying Week 2 performance at Coachella 2025, both Jennie and also Lisa’s rumored boyfriend, Frédéric Arnault, were spotted in the audience, standing just meters apart.
While Jennie’s appearance initially helped cool down lingering rumors of a rift between the two BLACKPINK members, what happened next stirred even more speculation.
A short clip that’s since gone viral shows Jennie walking past Frédéric Arnault without so much as a glance or greeting. Near the end of Lisa’s set, Jennie was seen speaking to her security team and leaving the venue quickly, passing Arnault without interaction. The moment has fueled renewed online chatter, with fans questioning the true state of Jennie and Lisa’s relationship.
Some netizens interpreted Jennie’s exit as a cold and deliberate move. Others wondered if Jennie’s presence at Lisa’s show was merely for appearances.
However, many fans defended Jennie, pointing out that there’s no proof she and Arnault even know each other personally. “He was waiting for Jennie to acknowledge his presence. Weird af. Boy, you are nobody,” one supporter argued.
The clip adds a new layer to growing speculation surrounding the group’s internal dynamics. Jennie’s absence from Lisa’s Week 1 Coachella performance already raised eyebrows, and international media, from the U.S. to Canada and India, have begun covering the increasing divide among BLACKPINK fans.
However, on April 20 (local time), Jennie took to Instagram to share behind-the-scenes moments from Coachella’s second weekend, captioning the post, “Coachella 25 weekend 2 has begun.” Among the photos and videos was a heartwarming clip of her visiting Lisa’s dressing room, where the two idols exchanged smiles and a cheek-to-cheek hug that melted fans’ hearts.
Through the photos, Jennie and Lisa have silenced swirling feud rumors with a genuine show of friendship at Coachella 2025, putting global speculation to rest.
While both stars continue to deliver world-class performances, their off-stage chemistry remains a hot topic. Whether the moment was an intentional snub or a misunderstood exit, it’s clear that every move Jennie and Lisa make will be closely watched by fans and critics alike.
