BLACKPINK 'in distress' in early 2025, colleagues speak out to buy time, reveal the affair

Star News reported that Jisoo had just appeared as a guest on the talk show Salon Drip 2 and suddenly recalled BLACKPINK 's late arrival at the Elle Style Awards 7 years ago.

At that time, to fill the gap of the group, comedian Jang Do Yeon had to buy time with a speech that lasted more than 3 minutes. In particular, the comedian surnamed Jang also had a sensational sharing right on the stage to receive the award: "Actually, there are probably many people who feel that my speech is too long, but because BLACKPINK has not yet arrived, I am forced to extend the time."

Up to now, through the talk show Salon Drip 2, Jisoo has sent a sincere thank you to her cousin Jang for having a rescue for BLACKPINK: "I always feel familiar with you. She has helped our group before. I watched that video (video of Jang Do Yeon buying time to help BLACKPINK). And I want to take this opportunity to send my sincere thanks to you."

Also at the recent talk show, Jisoo also explained about Black Huong's late incident 7 years ago: "That day we were preparing everything when the plan was suddenly changed. The group suddenly encountered a traffic jam. At that time, I asked the staff, 'Is everything okay?' and he said it was okay. So, at first, I thought it was okay."

It is known that this is not the first time BLACKPINK has been entangled in a controversy at the event. Remember in October 2019, the group was criticized for being late at an event with the participation of international star David Beckham. BLACKPINK's delay caused Beckham to wait for more than 20 minutes and the show was pushed back than expected.
