The desert skies of Indio, California, pulsed with energy once more as Coachella 2025 entered its second weekend from April 18 to 20. But among the festival’s electrifying acts, it was BLACKPINK’s Jennie who lit up the stage—and the hearts of thousands—during her solo set on Sunday, April 20.
Returning after her buzzworthy solo debut on Coachella’s first weekend (April 13), Jennie faced a wave of anticipation. But rather than being weighed down by the moment, she soared. With every note and step, she radiated confidence and artistry, proving once again why she’s a force to be reckoned with.
Her set was a visual and sonic feast—an expertly crafted mix of powerful vocals, striking choreography, and the unmistakable aura that only Jennie brings. The crowd, armed with light sticks and unwavering enthusiasm, matched her energy in a celebration that blurred the lines between performer and audience.
But it wasn’t just the spectacle that made her performance unforgettable—it was a deeply personal, unscripted moment that stole the show. In the middle of her set, Jennie took a pause. Her eyes scanned the sea of fans before her gaze softened. Then, with a voice thick with emotion, she called out, “Eomma Saranghae!”—Korean for “Mom, I love you.”
The emotional weight of the moment resonated instantly. Fans later learned that Jennie’s mother was in the audience, witnessing her daughter command one of the world’s biggest stages. The crowd erupted with cheers and support, while social media lit up with clips of the touching tribute. The hashtag #JennieRunsCoachella exploded across platforms, as fans praised her authenticity and heartfelt gesture.
Unshaken by the wave of emotions, Jennie dove back into her performance with even more fire, finishing strong and leaving the stage on a high note. Her Coachella encore wasn’t just a concert—it was a tribute to love, legacy, and the people who lift us up.
Jennie’s second Coachella outing proved one thing: beyond the lights and fame, there stands an artist who wears her heart on her sleeve—and that’s exactly what makes her unforgettable.
