Friend plays Jennie's Mantra at the grave of a longtime fan who passed before its release

A touching story about a devoted fan of BLACKPINK’s Jennie, who tragically passed away before she could witness Jennie’s latest solo comeback spread across social media. In a heartwarming gesture, the fan’s close friend recently visited her grave to share Jennie’s new song.

On October 15, a video went viral across online communities and social media, showing a woman sitting at a gravesite in the dark, holding up her phone and playing Jennie's music video for "Mantra."

The story behind the video revealed that the woman’s friend had been a longtime fan of Jennie, eagerly awaiting her solo comeback for years. Sadly, she passed away before getting the chance to see it.

When Jennie’s solo comeback was announced, the woman immediately thought of her late friend and promised to share the new song with her. After Jennie released her track "Mantra" on October 11, she went straight to her friend’s grave, where she played the music video as if they were watching it together.


Although her friend is no longer here, the act of sitting at the gravesite and watching the video together has moved many people. The details of the woman's friend’s passing remain unknown, but their deep friendship has touched many people.

Many responded to the story with comments like, “She must be smiling in heaven, listening to the song,” “The moment Jennie’s comeback was announced, she must have missed her friend terribly,” and “It’s heartbreaking yet heartwarming at the same time.”

Meanwhile, Jennie made her successful solo comeback on October 11 with "Mantra," marking her first release since establishing her label, Odd Atelier. This is her first new music since "You & Me" in August 2022, and her first official solo activity as a singer in nearly six years, following "SOLO" in 2018.
