BLACKPINK wrapped up two back-to-back sold-out concerts at Toronto’s Rogers Stadium on July 22 and 23, drawing tens of thousands of fans and delivering standout moments that sparked widespread buzz online. Day 2 of the tour stop was particularly memorable, as the group not only treated BLINKs to a surprise OT4 performance of Rosé and Bruno Mars’ hit “APT.” but also appeared to indirectly address long-running rumors of discord among members.
Midway through the show, Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa slipped into what looked like a candid behind-the-scenes moment on stage, chatting animatedly with one another as though they had forgotten the audience. Realizing this, Jennie quickly broke the fourth wall and turned the situation into something endearing. She apologized to fans for having what she called a “private moment” mid-concert, before clarifying with a smile, “Sorry guys, we give feedback to each other because we love each other so much. Don’t worry—no matter how much we argue, at the end of the day we always fix things.”
The comment, lighthearted as it was, struck fans as a direct response to the speculation about tension within the group. Many BLINKs praised Jennie for putting the rumors to rest in such a natural, affectionate way, pointing out how comfortable the four appeared with one another on stage.
Adding to the sentiment, the rare OT4 cover of “APT.” had the crowd erupting. Rosé shone as the centerpiece of the performance, while the others hyped her up and vibed along, reinforcing a sense of genuine camaraderie. Fans highlighted the performance as one of the night’s most wholesome moments, with one remarking online, “I love how the members let Rosé have her moment, but they’re clearly enjoying it with her. It feels so real and warm.”
Between Jennie’s candid remarks and the full-group collaboration, BLACKPINK’s Toronto shows not only wowed fans with music and staging but also seemed to offer reassurance that the group’s bond remains intact despite ongoing speculation.
