BLACKPINK is known for their tight-knit friendship both on- and off-stage, and membersLisa andJennie have formed an especially close bond over the years.
During her interview with Rolling Stone, Lisa fondly remembered her first meeting with Jennie. Out of the Blackpink members, Jennie was the first member Lisa met.
At the time, other trainees were discouraged from speaking to Lisa in English so that she would quickly learn Korean. Moving from Thailand to her new life in Korea was difficult, but losing a method of communication through language was especially hard for Lisa.
Lisa shared that Jennie greeted her in English when they first met; from then on, they were super close.
“I remember Jennie, she was the only one who like, said hi to me in English because other people can’t talk in English. We were super close.”
Blackpink is currently on their Born Pink world tour, and there has been no shortage of fun, memorable, goofy, and endearing interactions between the members,
Jennie and Lisa have shown off their iconic friendship during the tour, from having fun on the group’s motorized scooters…
… to meditating together backstage…
… to posing for adorable photos on stage.
During their recent Hong Kong concert, eagle-eyed fans spotted a telling sign that the two are truly ultimate BFF goals.
Blackpink had three back-to-back concerts in Hong Kong, and their final concert was also the day before Jennie’s birthday. Jennie was surprised with a cake to celebrate, and her fellow members and Blinks sang her “Happy Birthday.”
While the crowd heartwarmingly sang “Happy Birthday,” Jennie quickly gestured to staff to pass her phone to her so she could capture the special moment.
Perceptive netizens quickly noticed that the phone grabbed was actually Lisa’s based on the phone case. Hilariously, Jennie didn’t seem fazed by the staff’s mistake; instead, she took photos and videos with it as if it were hers.
At one point, she even handed the phone to Lisa to continue taking the video for her before the group’s maknae handed her phone right back to Jennie. This left fans hilariously questioning who really owns the phone, despite double-checking multiple photos of Lisa with the exact phone case.
Fans couldn’t get over how naturally Jennie used Lisa’s phone and couldn’t help realizing how close they must be for Jennie to know Lisa’s passcode.
Blackpink’s chemistry and unity as a group, along with their incredible talent, solidifies their status as one of the top girl groups in the industry. The close relationship among the members of Blackpink makes them an enjoyable and relatable group to Blinks around the world.
