Unsurprisingly, this was mentioned by a lot of fans in the comments, who found the idea of a possible Jennie and Kai interaction in 2025 interesting,

Some even brought up the fact that G-Dragon was also set to be performing, and while no past relationship has been confirmed, there were rumors for years about the idol and Jennie possibly dating at some point.
