JENNIE and The Weeknd have finally taken “One of the Girls” from the studio to the stage.
The BLACKPINK star made a surprise appearance during The Weeknd’s After Hours Til Dawn concert at Goyang Stadium in South Korea on Thursday (Oct. 8), joining him for the first-ever live performance of their 2023 collaboration from The Idol. Lily-Rose Depp, who is also featured on the track, was not part of the performance.
The unexpected reunion came during the Korean stop of The Weeknd’s sprawling stadium tour, which is currently making its way through Asia on its final leg. The two-night Goyang engagement, which marked The Weeknd’s first return to South Korea since 2018, sold approximately 108,000 tickets across the Oct. 7 and 8 shows.
Released in 2023 as part of The Idol Episode 4 (Music From the HBO Original Series), “One of the Girls” has taken on a life of its own separate from the HBO series. Billboard previously reported that “One of the Girls” had joined the Spotify Billions Club, contributing to The Weeknd’s record-setting total of songs with at least 1 billion streams on the platform. The song also peaked at No. 51 on the Billboard Hot 100.
As for JENNIE, she’s had plenty to pat herself on the back for as well. The singer has been on a solo run since the release of her debut album Ruby in March 2025, which opened at No. 7 on the Billboard 200. It gave JENNIE her highest-charting solo album on the tally. She’s also been releasing music since then, including the Fallen Angel EP in August 2026. She hopped on a remix of Tame Impala‘s “Dracula,” which has become a major Billboard hit, so far peaking at No. 5 on the Hot 100.
The After Hours Til Dawn trek supports The Weeknd’s 2020 album After Hours, 2022’s Dawn FM and 2025’s Hurry Up Tomorrow, all of which claimed the first or second slots on the Billboard 200 upon their release. The tour itself, however, has been pretty legendary as well. This past August, Billboard Boxscore figures reported that The Weeknd grossed $124.4 million and sold 892,000 tickets across 16 shows during July.
