YG Entertainment has issued a statement in response to reports of a tumor on the neck of BLACKPINK member Jisoo.

BLACKPINK’s “Born Pink” globe tour is now underway in the United States. They planned to host the event in Atlanta on November 2 and 3. Concerns were raised concerning BLACKPINK’s Jisoo after multiple posts and photographs of her with a bump on her neck surfaced on social media.

“The lump seems to keep getting bigger. I think she needs to go to the hospital and get a biopsy. It could be a mild fibroid, but it could also be a tumor,” a netizen said alongside the photo on social media on Nov. 3, according to Korean media.

According to the story, the tumor on Jisoo’s neck was not the first time admirers observed it. On the TV broadcast and at a previous concert, she had the same lump in the exact same area.

Following the publication of press stories, YG Entertainment, BLACKPINK’s agency, addressed the health problem.

“Jisoo is currently performing well on her world tour schedule and has no health problems,” YG Entertainment said in a statement to Korean media on November 4.

According to the Medline Plus website, there are several causes of neck lumps.

“The most common lumps or swellings are enlarged lymph nodes. These can be caused by bacterial or viral infections, cancer (malignancy), or other rare causes,” the article explained.

“Swollen salivary glands under the jaw may be caused by infection or cancer. Lumps in the muscles of the neck are caused by injury or torticollis. These lumps are often at the front of the neck. Lumps in the skin or just below the skin are often caused by cysts, such as sebaceous cysts.”

“”The thyroid gland may also produce swelling or one or more lumps. This can be due to thyroid disease or cancer. Most cancers of the thyroid gland grow very slowly. They are often cured with surgery, even if they have been present for several years,” the website added.
