On this day, JENNIE sang 'One Of the Girls' with The Weeknd. It was a moment where another global star joined the performance of a world-renowned pop star. The heat of the concert intensified even further due to JENNIE's unexpected appearance.

In fact, JENNIE's appearance was bound to be even more welcome for the fans. While 'One Of the Girls' was included in the setlist for the first day of the concert, it left a sense of regret as JENNIE did not take the stage then. However, in the second performance, JENNIE appeared in person, responding to the expectations of the waiting fans. It became a special moment in that one could witness the stage of JENNIE and The Weeknd singing the same song together on-site.

JENNIE's styling on stage also instantly captured attention. She appeared matching a bold-designed purple swimsuit outfit with full-bang hairstyle. As expected of JENNIE, who has always been noted as a fashion icon, she overwhelmed the atmosphere of the stage with her daring outfit and unique hairstyle. Although it was a short guest stage, she certainly left a strong visual impression.

After the song ended, the friendly rapport between the two was captured. JENNIE concluded the stage by hugging The Weeknd warmly, and The Weeknd continuously waved greetings toward JENNIE as she headed backstage. JENNIE also brought laughter by saying "Jumal-oppa, have a fun performance" in Korean as she exited. She naturally utilized the nickname used by domestic fans to call The Weeknd in Korean. The friendly Korean expression from a global star added a unique sense of fun.

It was reported that after finishing her guest stage, JENNIE watched The Weeknd's performance from the audience. From taking the stage to sing together to returning to the audience to enjoy the show, JENNIE's appearance that day left diverse topics despite being brief. Beyond a simple surprise appearance, it was also a place to reconfirm the musical connection between the two.

JENNIE and The Weeknd formed a connection through the American HBO series 'The Idol' released in 2023. This work, in which The Weeknd participated in production, also drew attention as JENNIE's Hollywood acting debut. JENNIE did not stop at appearing in the work but also participated in the OST 'One Of the Girls' along with The Weeknd and Lily-Rose Depp. This song gathered the interest of global music fans by staying on the US Billboard main single chart 'Hot 100' for 20 weeks.

The connection that began through the work led to music, and then connected again to a special joint stage at a Korean concert. JENNIE, along with her bold stage outfit and unrivaled presence, also brought laughter to fans until the end with the friendly title "Jumal-oppa."
