JENNIE joined The Weeknd onstage in Korea on October 8, 2026, to perform “One Of The Girls.” For viewers discovering the performance through a short clip, the main question is simple: was this a new release, a BLACKPINK performance, or a reunion around an older collaboration?
It was a live performance of an existing song. The original recording credits The Weeknd, JENNIE and Lily-Rose Depp, and dates back to 2023.
The useful way to understand this moment is to separate three things: the song, the concert appearance and what performing together adds to a recorded collaboration.
What happened at The Weeknd’s Korea concert?
JENNIE appeared as a special guest during the October 8 show of Hyundai Card Super Concert 28: The Weeknd, at the main stadium of Goyang Sports Complex in Gyeonggi Province.
She joined him for “One Of The Girls.” Although international coverage often describes the event as a Seoul concert, the venue was in Goyang, outside Seoul itself.
This distinction helps readers identify the event correctly without confusing the concert’s location with the wider metropolitan area.
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| When was the appearance? | October 8, 2026 |
| Where did it happen? | Goyang Sports Complex main stadium, Gyeonggi Province |
| Whose concert was it? | The Weeknd’s Hyundai Card Super Concert 28 show |
| What did they perform? | “One Of The Girls” |
| Was it a new song announcement? | The performance featured an existing 2023 collaboration |
The appearance is the news event. Understanding the original recording explains why the song was the natural connection between the two artists.
Who sings the original “One Of The Girls”?
The original track is credited to The Weeknd, JENNIE and Lily-Rose Depp. It was released in connection with HBO’s The Idol in 2023.
That makes it different from both a BLACKPINK group release and a JENNIE-only solo single. JENNIE is one of the credited artists on a shared recording.
For a new listener, those credits matter. A performance clip may focus on the two people standing onstage, but it does not change who appears on the studio version. Lily-Rose Depp remains part of the original song’s artist credits.
Start with the official recording if you want to understand the song before comparing it with concert footage. The studio version provides the full arrangement and the original sequence of vocal parts.
Why does a live reunion feel different from a recorded collaboration?
A studio collaboration and a shared stage answer different questions.
The recording shows how voices fit within an arranged track. A concert appearance lets an audience see the performers sharing a space, responding to the same crowd and moving through the song in real time.
Our reading of the Korea appearance is that this visible connection is its main appeal. Listeners who already knew the recording could now associate it with a specific shared performance.
That does not require claiming the song changed the industry overnight. A more precise point is that the performance gave an established collaboration a new event around which fans could gather.
For JENNIE, it also offers a way to discuss her work outside BLACKPINK without treating every appearance as the start of a new solo era. An artist’s career includes group releases, solo projects, collaborations and guest performances. Those categories can overlap, but they are not interchangeable.
What should you listen for when comparing the song and the live clip?
Instead of deciding which version is “better,” listen for what each format lets you notice.
Vocal entrances and handovers
Pay attention to where a voice enters and how the next part begins. In the studio recording, these transitions sit inside a controlled arrangement. In concert footage, the camera and audience noise may draw attention to the handover itself.
The atmosphere around the voices
The official audio is the clearest starting point for hearing the production. A crowd-recorded video captures something else: the room, the audience and the excitement around the appearance.
Phone footage can make sound seem louder, thinner or more distorted than it was in person. It is useful for experiencing the event, but it is a limited basis for judging a singer’s entire performance.
The difference between the full song and a highlight
A short clip may show an entrance, a vocal passage or the end of the performance. Those moments can be memorable while still leaving out much of the song.
If you are new to the collaboration, hear the original track first, then use the clip to understand the live moment. That order gives the highlight more context.
Three common misunderstandings
“One Of The Girls” is JENNIE’s new 2026 single
The song dates back to 2023. The October 2026 event was a concert appearance featuring that existing collaboration.
A BLACKPINK member appearing means it was a BLACKPINK comeback stage
This was JENNIE’s guest appearance at The Weeknd’s concert. It should not be described as a BLACKPINK group comeback announcement.
A joint performance confirms another song is coming
The appearance shows the artists performing their existing track together. It is not, by itself, confirmation of a future release. A new collaboration would need its own announcement.
Where should new fans go next?
If this performance introduced you to JENNIE, begin with her wider career rather than assuming one collaboration represents all of her music.
Our guide to JENNIE of BLACKPINK follows her development from group performer to solo artist. The BLACKPINK members guide provides the group context and explains where each member’s individual career fits.
You can then return to “One Of The Girls” with a clearer understanding of the distinction between JENNIE’s group identity, solo work and collaborations.
The Korea appearance is worth discussing because it brings those contexts together in one visible moment: a BLACKPINK member on another artist’s stage, performing a song they already share. Knowing the original credits and the event details makes the clip more meaningful than a headline alone.
