In the thick of stadium tours and cross-genre collabs lighting up Asia this fall, one surprise guest spot quickly became the talk of timelines.
BLACKPINK star Jennie Kim stepped out two days after joining The Weeknd onstage and shared a fresh set of images that locked in the moment.
The posts landed October 10. Close-ups highlighted sharp makeup, full bangs, and confident winks. Full-body frames showed her in the vintage Alaïa piece with fishnets. She posed in an elevator, a hallway, and outdoors at night. One shot added a cheeky middle finger under a purple cat-ear filter.
Fans locked in fast. Comments called her a hottieeee. Others cheered WOMAN against any noise and dropped playful meows. The unbothered energy landed clean.
Kim had joined The Weeknd during the second night of his Goyang Stadium dates on October 8. The pair performed One Of The Girls live together for the first time. The track dropped in 2023 for the HBO series The Idol soundtrack and also features Lily-Rose Depp. It marked a long-awaited stadium debut for the collaboration.
The Canadian artist’s After Hours Til Dawn stop was his first Korea run in eight years.
The two nights drew roughly 108,000 fans under the Hyundai Card Super Concert banner. Kim appeared in a sheer purple leopard-print bodysuit from Alaïa’s Fall/Winter 1991 collection. Sheer lace met deep purple velvet details. High neck, long sleeves, and a high-cut silhouette defined the look. She paired it with full bangs over long straight hair and knee-high boots.
Stylist Sojung Jeanne Kim later confirmed the archival choice.
Onstage, the pair traded lines and called out to the crowd. They closed with a hug. Kim thanked him by his given name. “Thank you so much for having me; thank you, Abel,” she said. She also left with a local flourish: “Jumal Oppa, enjoy the show. Bye~.” The Weeknd later posted “JUMAL OPPA !” with a Korean flag emoji.
Kim’s Instagram captions kept the warmth. One read “one of the girls with @theweeknd finally came alive in Seoul !! thank you for having me 주말오빠 🖤.” Another called it “a dream stage moment in seoul thank you The Weeknd for having me. what a night!!”
The look fit her ongoing fashion lane. Kim has long mixed archival pieces with sharp stage presence. As a Chanel ambassador and solo force under her Odd Atelier label, she keeps pushing visible, body-conscious choices that travel well beyond K-pop circles. The leopard print and bangs sparked immediate fashion talk. Vintage Alaïa from a collection once walked by Naomi Campbell found new life under stadium lights.
Social platforms lit up within hours of the concert. Clips of the duet and outfit details racked up views. The later photo dump extended the conversation. Positive reactions dominated. Some noted her recent quieter stretch made the return hit harder. No major formal coverage gaps remained once the posts dropped, yet the fan velocity stayed high.
Kim continues balancing group roots with solo momentum. Festival runs and brand work filled much of 2026. The Goyang night added another high-profile Western crossover to her list. The Weeknd’s Asia leg rolls on through more cities. Whether further shared stages appear remains open.
The images keep circulating. Bold print, sharp fringe, easy attitude. Kim delivered the full package and let the posts speak. Fans answered in kind.
