Did Rosé Skip Jennie’s Birthday Party? — BLACKPINK Member’s Whereabouts Spark Strong Reactions
BLACKPINK Jennie’s 30th birthday party has drawn renewed attention over fellow member Rosé‘s whereabouts.

Jennie recently celebrated her birthday with a lavish celebration in a Tokyo nightclub and shared some glimpses on social media. Complete with loud music, champagne bottles, and sparklers, the party looked straight out of a movie with Jennie dancing the night away and enjoying herself with her guests. However, as the images spread online, criticism started pouring in.
BLACKPINK Jennie’s “Life-Threatening” Clubbing Activities Slammed By Korean Netizens
Online spaces are now abuzz with a new round of discussion about the party. BLACKPINK member Rosé was reportedly spotted in Japan around the same time, but in a completely different setting. The singer was seen shopping at a Don Quijote discount store, sporting a casual hoodie, sweatpants, and a cap. Her absence from Jennie’s party, despite reportedly being in the same country at the time, has raised questions. At the same time, her quiet, low-profile appearance, without any fanfare, received wide praise, with people complimenting her as approachable and unpretentious.

While some tried to pit the two BLACKPINK members against one another by highlighting their contrasting public appearances, netizens were quick to defend both. They commended that people with such different personalities could come together to enhance the girl group’s synergy and praised each BLACKPINK member for staying true to their individual personalities.

- “Whether they go to a club or Don Quijote, they’re just living their lives the way they want. They need to relieve stress too, right? Didn’t Rosé’s agency release an article about this?”
- “It feels a bit much for regular people to be discussing someone’s private life…”
- “She’s kind of neither here nor there, but people are really forgiving when it comes to Jennie lol.”
- “Rosé is the textbook example of a K-Pop idol. Jennie is an individualist aiming beyond K-pop toward becoming a global pop star.”
- “You can clearly see their styles there, so it’s actually nice to see lol. Even among friends, you have ones who love going to clubs and dancing, and others who love places like Olive Young or Daiso. Isn’t it just different depending on personality?”
