BLACKPINK’s Jennie gave fans an unforgettable surprise when she joined global pop star The Weeknd on stage during his concert in Goyang, South Korea.
The special appearance took place on October 8, 2026, during the second night of his two-day engagement at Goyang Stadium.
Together, the artists performed their 2023 collaboration “One Of The Girls,” delighting thousands of concertgoers who had gathered to watch the Canadian singer perform.
The moment was particularly meaningful because, despite the song’s popularity, Jennie and The Weeknd had not previously performed the track together live on stage.
Her unexpected arrival transformed the concert into a memorable occasion for fans of both artists and brought renewed attention to their musical collaboration.
Jennie Joins The Weeknd for a Special Performance of ‘One Of The Girls’
Jennie appeared as a special guest during the second show of “Hyundai Card Super Concert 28: The Weeknd,” held at the main stadium of Goyang Sports Complex in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province.
The concert was part of The Weeknd’s ongoing “After Hours Til Dawn” world tour, marking his first performances in South Korea in eight years.
The BLACKPINK member joined The Weeknd to perform “One Of The Girls,” a song released in 2023 as part of the soundtrack for the HBO series The Idol.
The track features The Weeknd, Jennie, and Lily-Rose Depp, who starred alongside Jennie in the series.
Jennie’s appearance was especially exciting for fans because the song had also featured on the setlist during the first night of the Goyang concerts on October 7, but she did not appear on stage that evening.
Her arrival the following night finally gave audiences the opportunity to witness the two collaborators perform the song together.
For the performance, Jennie wore a striking purple outfit paired with a hairstyle featuring full bangs.
Her appearance immediately caught the audience’s attention as she joined The Weeknd on stage, and the stadium erupted with cheers as the two artists performed their collaboration.
The moment also highlighted Jennie’s connection with The Idol, which marked her acting debut in an international television production.
Although she is best known worldwide as a member of BLACKPINK and for her solo music, her contribution to the series’ soundtrack introduced another dimension to her artistic career.
Following the performance, Jennie and The Weeknd shared a warm hug.
The singer continued waving to her as she left the stage, creating another memorable moment for fans watching the interaction.
Before leaving, Jennie addressed him affectionately in Korean, saying,
“Weekend oppa, enjoy the show.”
She also thanked him for inviting her to perform, saying,
“Thank you so much for having me; thank you, Abel.”
The exchange added a personal touch to the appearance, showing the friendly connection between the two artists.
Jennie reportedly watched the remainder of the concert from the audience after completing her guest performance.
From ‘The Idol’ Collaboration to a Stadium Stage in South Korea
Jennie and The Weeknd’s musical connection dates back to 2023, when they collaborated on “One Of The Girls” for The Idol.
The series, which also featured Lily-Rose Depp, brought the artists together through both acting and music.
The song subsequently achieved significant chart success, spending 20 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100.
The live performance in Goyang gave the collaboration a new milestone by bringing the artists together on stage to perform the track in front of a large audience.
For fans who had followed the song since its release, seeing the two musicians perform together offered an opportunity to experience the collaboration in a different setting.
Jennie’s appearance also carried a personal connection to The Weeknd’s earlier visits to South Korea.
When he performed in the country in 2018, she reportedly attended his concert as a fan.
Eight years later, she returned to the occasion in a very different role, standing beside him on stage as a fellow performer.
The Weeknd’s October 7 and 8 concerts attracted approximately 110,000 attendees across the two nights, according to local reports.
The shows formed part of his ongoing world tour and marked his return to South Korea after a lengthy absence.
The surprise appearance added another highlight to the Korean leg of the tour, while also bringing attention to Jennie’s international musical connections.
Her participation demonstrated how a collaboration originally recorded for a television soundtrack can continue to create memorable moments years after its release.
With their first live performance of “One Of The Girls” together now complete, Jennie and The Weeknd have given fans a special moment to remember.
The Goyang appearance celebrated their shared musical history while introducing a new chapter in the story of their collaboration.
