Blinks noticed it immediately: while Rosé, Jennie, and Lisa dazzled at the 2025 Met Gala, Jisoo was nowhere in sight. Her absence left fans wondering—why wasn’t the full quartet lighting up the red carpet together for the first time? As it turns out, the singer had a very good reason.
While the three members of Blackpink lit up the Met Gala red carpet—Rosé in classic Saint Laurent minimalism, Jennie having her Chanel moment, and Lisa making her highly anticipated debut in a tempting Louis Vuitton look—Jisoo was notably absent. The reason? A wrap party.
While Jisoo would’ve had us all on our knees in a jaw-dropping Dior couture look, her absence from the Met Gala wasn’t entirely unexpected. The singer-actress had just wrapped filming her upcoming Netflix K-drama Boyfriend on Demand, with photos from the cast’s wrap party surfacing days before fashion’s biggest night. It marks the latest milestone in a whirlwind year for Jisoo, who—like her bandmates—has been carving out her solo identity.
This year marked Lisa’s first-ever Met Gala attendance. Rosé was the pioneer among them in 2021, and Jennie followed with appearances in 2023 and 2024. The trio’s presence this year cements BLACKPINK’s individual—and collective—ascendancy in fashion’s inner circle. Beyond red carpets, Jennie and Lisa reunited at Coachella, taking the stage as solo acts.
But fans can rest easy: BLACKPINK isn’t going anywhere. A global tour kicks off this July, with new music teased by both Rosé and Jisoo in recent interviews. “Working solo has been amazing,” Jisoo shared with Billboard. “But honestly, it can get a little lonely sometimes.” With their return on the horizon, it’s clear the group is gearing up to make even more noise—together.
