BLACKPINK's Jennie tells crew ‘I warned you' as she cries for help, says Jisoo should've done HotOnes instead: Watch
After Lisa and Rosé, it was BLACKPINK's Jennie who arrived for the HotOnes challenge, but unlike the previous two, this one was chaotic enough to leave the singer in tears. The K-pop star arrived confident, dressed in a white silhouette with her hair tied in a ponytail, but was soon seen leaping off her seat, crying for help, sniffing, and struggling to breathe as the heat kicked in. She took her first bite with a smug grin, even saying she was disappointed, the wings looked too easy, especially for someone who doesn't even like spicy food. That changed fast. Things got so intense, Jennie half-joked she might now be allergic to spice. During the segment, the Ruby singer also answered questions about her Coachella experience, the songs she fought for, and whether Jisoo would survive the challenge better than the rest. Meanwhile, host Sean Evans couldn't stop hyping her up for braving the madness.

The album is said to have been inspired by the iconic English playwright Shakespeare. The singer reacted to the fact that the play was broken down into seven parts for her to understand, and that's when things kicked in; it was her time to show the seven years in BLACKPINK through her style. 'I've had my ups and downs. I've had my rollercoaster emotions of when I loved music, and when I hated music. And every moment in between was the important thing that got me here. So, I started just breaking myself down, and I guess it just inspired me to look at myself in a different way and really dive into what got me here and who I am,' she said. When asked if there were any songs that she fought for, she admitted she did — and not just the songs, but even the core message of the album. 'We didn't have to forcefully make the music easy for people to like this album. Let me try and do what I like and what I convince myself to do to get to people,' she said. Jennie mentioned songs like Zen and Starlight to describe how the idea of the songs and even the theme wouldn't instantly kick in, but once it does, it stays with people. 'I knew that it would touch the people that I want to touch.' #Jennie's reaction to every wing on 'Hot Ones'. — Buzzing Pop (@BuzzingPop) June 19, 2025 BLACKPINK's rise to prominence in a normally boy group-dominated K-pop landscape is a trailblazing revolution in the industry that opened gates for other girl K-pop groups to expand their aura overseas. The group holds countless records, one of them being headlining Coachella, both as a group and individually. This year, both Jennie and Lisa performed solo. Sean asked how much it means to her when fans sing the lyrics of her lesser-known songs, to which the singer replied that it's not even the lesser-known songs, it's the ones that never made it to the album, the B-side tracks, that fans know by heart and even scream out loud in the crowd. 'They're just screaming the lyrics from the top to the end, and that's when you really feel like — oh, they really do listen to your album. They really do listen to your music.' Other than the questioning round where she completely blanked out after the No. 8 sauce, Da Bomb, kicked in, she said, 'This is no joke,' as she finally gulped down the milk, grabbed some ice cream, and yet kept coughing, joking with her crew playfully, 'See, I warned you!' She fanned herself with a napkin, said she couldn't hear anything anymore, and looked fully shaken.

Like, she made me eat spicy food with her ever since we were trainees. So, I think [Jisoo] should come on this show. You're gonna love it.' Signing off, the singer added, 'Whatever ROSÉ and LISA did — this is the real reaction. Because I watched their episode and they were so chill about it, so I was like, if they're doing it, maybe I can do it too. But I can't!'
