Jennie, a member of Blackpink, recently apologized after the costume incident during her performance at the Summer Sonic 2026 music festival in Tokyo, Japan, on August 14.
The female singer said she was quite surprised by the hot weather, causing the outfit to not keep as expected during the performance.
The incident happened when Jennie performed a high-daughty dance move. The short denim dress designed in a patchwork style suddenly moved, revealing the bra padding. This moment was quickly recorded and shared by the audience on social networks.
Some videos were also cut, zoomed in and widely spread, making the female singer's outfit incident a topic of discussion.
Faced with the unexpected situation, Jennie was forced to leave the stage halfway to adjust her costumes. After that, she returned and continued the performance. The female singer also directly apologized to the audience, and admitted that tight-fitting costumes could cause difficulties when combining singing and high-intensity dance performances.
Jennie said she did not think the weather at the time of the performance would be so hot. Weather conditions, plus having to move continuously on stage, made the costume no longer maintain its original shape.
After the incident, the female singer said that the crew will learn from experience in the preparation stage. Her group plans to pay more attention to the design and material of costumes, and at the same time conduct trials, practice and thorough general rehearsals before official performances. This is considered a way for Jennie and the crew to limit similar situations in the next stages.
In many years of activity, Jennie is known not only as a Blackpink member but also as one of the female artists with great influence in the fashion field.
Her performance style often aims for youthfulness, personality and seductiveness, with many croptop designs, short shirts, short skirts or outfits with bold cuts.
These choices help Jennie create her own mark on stage, while also being suitable for the dynamic image she pursues. However, the more elaborate and tight-fitting the outfit, the more meticulous calculations are required to ensure mobility when performing.
After the incident at Summer Sonic 2026, Jennie's proactive apology and statement that she and the crew would adjust her preparation received attention from fans. The female singer then completed the performance, showing professionalism in handling situations arising on stage.
