The excitement at Coachella 2025 reached new heights as Lisa of BLACKPINK took the stage for her second performance, dazzling fans with her incredible vocals and stunning visuals. Meanwhile, her sister Jennie faced unexpected backlash, but the love between the two shone through amid the chaos.
On April 19th, KST, Lisa returned to the iconic Desert Stage, captivating the audience with an even more polished performance than her first weekend. After receiving mixed reviews previously—where her powerful vocals were sometimes drowned out by the backing track—this time, technical adjustments allowed her voice to resonate clearly. Fans were quick to praise the improvement, with social media buzzing with support, celebrating her undeniable talent.
Lisa’s fashion choices also turned heads, as she showcased a series of bold outfits that matched the energy of her performance. A memorable moment occurred when her in-ear monitor fell out during the show, but the talented performer handled the situation with grace, continuing to sing without missing a beat. Her ability to stay composed only reinforced her reputation as a seasoned artist. Following her set, Lisa trended worldwide, with fans expressing their excitement through over a million posts.
Industry professionals also took notice of Lisa’s impressive performance. Murdoch Hardy from RCA Records commended her stage presence, while Michael Schmidt Studios highlighted her visually striking outfit. Choreographer King Kai expressed gratitude for collaborating with her, and producers Herzeroism and Shintaro Yasuda celebrated the moment on social media, hinting at the possibility of a new music video for her track “Dream.”
The crowd was further electrified by the presence of Frederick Arno and Jennie, who were seen enjoying Lisa’s performance from the VIP section. Frederick’s enthusiastic support for Lisa was evident as he vibed to her emotional delivery of “Moonlit Floor.” Jennie, on the other hand, kept a low profile, dressed casually and trying to blend in. Despite her attempts to remain unnoticed, she couldn’t hide her excitement, dancing along and cheering for her sister, even blowing a kiss during the performance.
However, Jennie’s presence did not go without criticism, as some online users targeted her for covering her face. Fans quickly defended her, citing her known struggles with anxiety in large crowds. Throughout Lisa’s set, Jennie was seen stepping away from the area a couple of times, but her quiet support for her sister spoke volumes.
As Lisa continues to shine in her solo endeavors, a viral clip sparked speculation about Olivia Rodrigo’s attendance at the festival, but it was later clarified that the footage was from a previous event. Meanwhile, hopes were high that Rosé would stay in the U.S. to support her bandmates, but she has since returned to South Korea to focus on her own projects.
Back in Seoul, Ju has been making headlines as the Dior Global ambassador, attending the Designer of Dreams exhibition, where her beauty captivated fans. A sweet interaction between Ji Su and 17’s Mingu at the event also became a trending topic, showcasing the camaraderie among artists.
In a thrilling twist, Ju hinted at BLACKPINK’s long-awaited comeback, confirming what fans have eagerly anticipated. With filming for her drama now wrapped, all eyes are on the quartet as they prepare to reunite and take the global stage once more. As BLACKPINK continues to dominate headlines, fans are left wondering what surprises lie ahead for their favorite group.
