Health concerns are being raised by netizens after a lump was seen on the neck of K-pop girl group BLACKPINK member Jisoo.
BLACKPINK members are currently in the US for their “Born Pink” world tour.



Recently, several posts and photos were spread on social media showing a lump on Jisoo’s neck.
Korean media reported that a netizen who posted it stated, "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."
The photos showed the lump on the right side of Jisoo’s neck. The report added that this was not the first time that fans noticed the lump on her neck.
They discovered that Jisoo had the same lump on the exact same spot on a TV show and at a past concert. They added that the lump kept disappearing and emerging over time.
According to the Medline Plus website, there are many 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,” it stated.
It added, “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 stated.
It said, “All neck lumps in children and adults should be checked right away by a health care provider. In children, most neck lumps are caused by infections that can be treated. Treatment should start quickly to prevent complications or the spread of infection. As adults age, the likelihood of the lump being a cancer increases. This is particularly true for people who smoke or drink a lot of alcohol. Most lumps in adults are not cancers.”
