It seems that whatever BLACKPINK's Jennie does, it inevitably goes viral¡ªbut often for the wrong reasons. Recently, BLACKPINK found itself at the center of global controversy after a Discord user, allegedly a former YG Entertainment employee, leaked sensitive data about several artists under the label. Among the leaked content were videos from their trainee days, showing three of the four members, including Jennie, mouthing the "n-word" while singing along to a song.
While this scandal was unfolding, Jennie found herself under renewed scrutiny after old clips from the group's BORN PINK tour resurfaced and quickly went viral. Initially shared by solo fans of each member, the footage spread to a wider audience who began questioning the quality of the performances.
The phrase "lazy dancing" began trending on X (formerly Twitter), as viewers analyzed the footage frame by frame. While some defended Jennie, citing health issues and the pressures of overwork, others criticized what they perceived as a lack of effort in her performance.
Amidst this, many began calling Jennie a "bully." Why? The accusations stem from various incidents, such as the viral video of her smoking on the face of her stylist, followed by an apology only after facing public backlash.?
Some fans also resurfaced discussions from BLACKPINK's early days, claiming Jennie received preferential treatment¡ªbetter costumes, more attention, and how YG Entertainment allegedly deleted videos of her "lazy dancing" from platforms. Some even suggested her numerous scandals were consistently swept under the rug.
These discussions exploded on X (formerly Twitter), where videos expressing hate garnered thousands of likes and views, further fueling the controversy. In fact, one video in particular where she spoke about "leading BLACKPINK" towards greatness since their trainee days.?
One wrote, "This is what we call a narcissist personality and having delusions of grandeur.?Being the least talented. The most unprofessional and lazy. Always having the most privilege and yet acting like you're some president is hilarious".
Another said, "She is the laziest, most privileged and whiniest victim playing celeb ever to be saying this shit".
One wrote, "She was a bully. Has a main character syndrome bcs of YG always favoring her, connection to her mom was rich and powerful in company. Others trainees didn't dare to argued with her. No wonder she didn't hesitate for being lazy on stage".
Another stated, "let's be real, she¡¯s the one who complain to whygee (YG) cuz she had her mom backing her up behind her back. Tbh, she's just a spoiled nepo biotch who have the connection cuz her mom is rich. that's why she bravely being lazy on stage, being idol is just a hobby".
One added, "I don¡¯t even have a problem with her but calling yourself a leader while everyone else in the group say we don¡¯t have one is kinda embarrassing".
Jennie is making headlines again after topless photos of her were released in the latest edition of Homme Girls, a New York-based digital magazine. Released on April 8, the photos showcase Jennie in a bold, sensual look, with one image featuring her topless, which immediately sparked debates across social media.
