On January 16, Rosé shared a heartfelt birthday message for Jennie on her social media, posting a photo of the two of them together and writing, “Unnie, I hope today is the happiest and warmest birthday in the world for you.” In the photo, they are seen enjoying quality time with their pet dog, radiating warmth and joy.
Rosé also expressed her deep affection for Jennie, saying, “I’m so grateful to have a sister like you to share this whole journey with.”
She added, “I’m happy to grow and bond with you over the years, and I love our cute bonding sessions. I can’t wait for more as we continue to share life together.”
Finally, Rosé ended her message with a heartfelt wish, emphasizing Jennie’s happiness on her special day, “But for today, most importantly!!! Have the sweetest birthday. Love you with all my heart. Happy Jendeuk day.”
Later that day, Jisoo also celebrated Jennie’s birthday on her social media, writing, “You have no idea how much happiness it brings me to have someone like you in my life whom I can call eternal. I love you, happy birthday, my Jendeuk!”
The accompanying photo showed Jisoo with her eyes gently closed and smiling, while Jennie playfully looked at her before breaking into a bright smile.
Finally, at around 6 PM (KST) on the same day, Lisa became the final member to send a birthday message to Jennie, saying, “Happy birthday to my partner in crime” and tagging Jennie’s Instagram, before adding, “Hope you have the best day ever & can’t wait to see you soon.”
Meanwhile, prior to Lisa’s post, there were netizens speculating that the female idol has “ignored” Jennie’s birthday.
In particular, while Jisoo and Rosé published birthday messages, Lisa updated her SNS with a post of herself in a graceful dress, enjoying a meal by the beach with someone. Many speculated that the person might be her rumored boyfriend, Frédéric Arnault, the CEO of TAG Heuer and the fourth son of Bernard Arnault, head of the luxury conglomerate LVMH.
Against malicious speculations directed at Lisa, however, fans weren’t concerned.
In a recent interview with Billboard, Jennie addressed the speculation, assuring that even though their busy schedules keep them apart, their bond remains strong. “Even though we can’t see each other much, it doesn’t feel any different than other years because we know we’re here for each other,” she explained. Jennie also shared how much she misses touring with the group, “I’ve missed the girls. I’ve missed doing tours with them. I miss our silly moments.”
