The 2026 Met Gala took an unexpected turn when the members of BLACKPINK turned a mundane restroom break into a viral highlight of the evening. Jisoo, Rosé, Jennie, and Lisa gathered around a sink to capture an intimate, playful selfie, offering fans a rare, unpolished look at the quartet behind the glitz and glamour of the red carpet.

Shared on Instagram late Wednesday (May 6)—just two days after the prestigious event at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art—the candid shot captures the group in high spirits. Jisoo flashes a playful tongue-out gesture while steering the camera, Rosé pulls an expressive face, Jennie delights with a signature duck face, and Lisa radiates joy with a wide, eyes-closed smile.

Eagle-eyed fans also spotted Gracie Abrams making a cameo in the background of the frame, a detail that prompted Rosé to fill the comments section with heart and playful emojis.

While the members arrived on the Met carpet individually to showcase their distinct, thematic gowns—this year’s “Fashion Is Art” dress code drew some truly avant-garde choices, most notably Lisa’s dramatic ensemble featuring lifelike prosthetic arms—this backstage selfie marks the genuine reunion their global fanbase has been craving.

The group is currently riding the wave of their February EP, Deadline, which secured a strong No. 8 debut on the Billboard 200. Following the successful conclusion of their international Deadline World Tour in January, the members are navigating a new chapter of professional endeavors.

Looking ahead, Jisoo has provided an exciting update regarding her musical trajectory. In a cover story for V Magazine published Wednesday, she hinted at her forthcoming solo debut. “I’m striving to explore a broader sonic palette,” she shared. “It would be incredibly rewarding if listeners discover entirely new facets of my artistry through this project.”
