BLACKPINK’s Jennie, who recently wrapped up two solo performances at Coachella 2025, is once again at the center of health-related concerns. Following her sets at the world-renowned music festival, fans have taken to social media to express worry over the idol’s well-being and eating habits.
Jennie’s Coachella Comeback Triggers Concern Over Idol Health Standards
While Jennie received both praise and criticism for her performances, what stood out to many fans was how visibly exhausted she appeared on stage. This perceived lack of energy has reignited conversations about her health, especially given past remarks she made regarding her approach to food and nutrition.
Earlier this year, Jennie appeared on the YouTube show of Girls’ Day member Hyeri, where the two idols discussed various lifestyle topics. During their chat, Jennie candidly admitted, “I don’t like eating. If I could just take one pill to get all my nutrients, I would.” That comment, which went largely unnoticed at the time, has now resurfaced across fan forums and TikTok as fans try to understand the source of her fatigue at Coachella.
Fans Speak Out: “K-pop Needs to Do Better for Its Artists”
In one viral TikTok clip, a user breaks down Jennie’s recent Coachella performance, pointing out signs of physical weakness and linking them to her diet. The video sparked further debate in the comments section, with many expressing concern over the intense physical demands of idol life and the unrealistic standards placed on K-pop performers, particularly female idols.
Comments like “She needs to eat and build strength if she’s going to keep performing like this,” and “K-pop needs to do better in supporting idol health,” reflect a growing awareness of the pressures that come with the industry’s beauty and fitness ideals.
As Jennie continues to expand her solo career on global stages, fans hope that her health and well-being will take priority alongside her artistic achievements. For now, her Coachella appearances remain memorable, but also a stark reminder of the human cost behind the glitz and glamour.
