Jennie of BLACKPINK once again proved she’s not just a top K-pop idol, but a powerful solo artist too — and this time, she moved fans around the world to tears.

On April 21 (local time), Jennie lit up the Outdoor Theater stage during the second weekend of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, California.

According to her agency OA Entertainment, she performed 13 songs without a break, receiving loud cheers from fans all over the world.

But what really touched everyone was the emotional ending.

After finishing her final song Starlight, Jennie shared her heartfelt thoughts, saying,
"I’ll never forget tonight. I truly love you."
She then brought even more emotion to the stage by shouting,
“Mom, I love you!”
This moment hit fans right in the heart.

Jennie’s mother, who is also the CEO of her agency and was watching in the audience, was seen crying after the shout-out.

Friends near her quickly comforted her, and this touching moment spread fast on social media, making “Jennie” and “Jenchella” top trending topics worldwide.

Fans praised Jennie for showing her sincere love for her mom, with many saying the moment felt “so real and warm.” Some even commented, “It wasn’t just a performance — it was a story.”

Jennie had already made history by performing at Coachella with BLACKPINK in 2019 and 2023 — the group became the first K-pop headliner at the festival last year. But this solo stage, now known as “Jenchella”, showed she’s just as strong on her own.

After her Week 1 stage, Jennie became the only K-pop soloist listed in Billboard’s Hot Performances, and her performance videos ranked high on YouTube’s trending charts. “Like Jennie” even landed at #2 on the global music video trending chart.

With her voice, stage power, and emotional honesty, Jennie once again proved why she's a global superstar.

Actor Kim Soo Hyun's dedicated fanbase is taking action against online hate and false rumors aimed at damaging his reputation.

On April 22nd, the Kim Soo Hyun Fan Union (comprising Daum Cafe Yukaris and DC Inside Kim Soo Hyun Gallery) released a statement announcing they are working to file criminal charges against those spreading harmful slander about the actor.

Their lawyer, Yang Tae Young from Law Firm Siwoo, revealed that they plan to take legal action as soon as this week, filing a formal complaint at the Seoul Seongbuk Police Station. According to the fan union, these online users are violating the Information and Communication Network Act by spreading malicious defamation.

While defamation cases can be pursued by third parties, unlike insults which require the victim to act, the fan union is determined to protect Kim Soo Hyun's reputation. They stated, "This is a voluntary movement to defend the actor’s rights and maintain a healthy fan culture. We won’t tolerate personal attacks disguised as freedom of speech and will take action without hesitation."

The fan union also emphasized that this effort is not just limited to South Korea. International fans have joined the movement, showing support for the cause. The union has gathered solid evidence, including harmful comments, manipulated images, and false posts made over the past few months.

In a related move, Kim Soo Hyun's agency, Gold Medalist, filed a separate report with the authorities on April 15th, condemning the continuous spread of baseless rumors and unverified claims that have been damaging to the actor’s image. They also filed a defamation lawsuit.

This all stems from claims made by the family of late actress Kim Sae Ron, starting in March. Through the Garoseero Research Institute YouTube channel, they alleged that Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron were in a relationship from November 2015 (when Kim Sae Ron was a minor) until July 2021. They presented supposed evidence such as handwritten letters Kim Soo Hyun allegedly sent to Kim Sae Ron during his military service and a photo of Kim Soo Hyun kissing Kim Sae Ron on the cheek.

In response, Kim Soo Hyun's agency clarified on March 14th that the actor only began a relationship with Kim Sae Ron after she became an adult, from the summer of 2019 to the fall of 2020. Kim Soo Hyun also addressed the rumors directly during a press conference on March 31st, stating, "I did not date Kim Sae Ron when she was a minor."

The situation continues to unfold, with fans and the actor taking a firm stance against the damaging rumors.
