"Dear Melbourne Blinks," Jennie wrote in English on her social media account on Tuesday.

Blink is Blackpink's fandom name.

"I'm so sorry I wasn't able to finish the show on Sunday. I'm doing my best to recover at the moment. Your understanding and support means the world to me," she wrote.

During Sunday's Blackpink Melbourne concert, Jennie could not finish due to health issues, and the group concluded the concert with the remaining three members — Jisoo, Rosé and Lisa.

YG Entertainment released a statement Sunday saying that while Jennie "expressed her strong determination to carry on with the performance until the end," the medical team advised her to "take ample rest."

Blackpink is currently on its second world tour, "Blackpink World Tour [Born Pink]." The tour kicked off at the KSPO Dome in Seoul on Oct. 15 and 16 last year, and Blackpink went on to visit 14 cities and hold 24 performances in European and North American destinations.

Blackpink is set to perform in Sydney, Australia, on Saturday and Sunday, followed by concerts in Paris, New Jersey, Las Vegas, San Francisco and Los Angeles.
