On September 17, a post on Instagram showed a photo of Jennie and BamBam together at Sushi Park in Los Angeles.
The account that shared the image claimed the two idols were out for a meal with friends. The hashtagged names of Jennie, BamBam, and the other BLACKPINK members immediately caught fans’ attention. Further photos shared online appeared to confirm that it was indeed BamBam, who was in Los Angeles after his performance at the Krazy Super Concert on September 14 and 15.

Both Jennie and BamBam have long-standing ties, particularly since BamBam is close friends with BLACKPINK's Lisa. Fans of the two groups, who like to refer to them as “GOTPINK,” were excited to see the two stars dining together.
Some fans even speculated that the interaction could be linked to Jennie's solo promotions. BamBam, who hosts a YouTube show called Bam House featuring idols on their comeback, could potentially have Jennie as a guest. Regardless of the reason, fans were glad to see the two idols enjoying their time in Los Angeles.
