Jennie (BLACKPINK) fans did not hesitate to criticize the female idol’s old company.
Recently, Jennie (BLACKPINK) has been in trouble due to the smoking scandal of blowing smoke into the face of an employee. The female idol was heavily criticized by the public and even faced the risk of being fined, forcing her to quickly apologize, saying that she was self-criticizing.
However, some of Jennie’s fans do not think so. On Korean social networks, there was a sudden suspicion that YG Entertainment had paid 3 journalists to write articles defaming Jennie. When this suspicion spread to the international community, it exploded on social network X.
Besides criticizing YG, many fans continuously accuse the company of unfairly treating Jennie from the past until now.
Fans accuse YG of hiring 3 journalists to write articles to harm Jennie
This topic has caused a heated debate on social media. Many people believe that Jennie was actually harmed by her old company because there is a theory that in showbiz there is no such thing as a “beautiful goodbye”. When artists are still in the company, they will be taken care of and “covered up” by the company.
When the artist does not want to renew the contract, the company will use those secrets to force or destroy the artist’s reputation. There have been many people who have struggled after leaving their old companies such as Lee Seung Gi, Han Ye Seul…
However, most netizens think that Jennie’s fans are acting too unreasonably, blaming YG without any evidence. Jennie is the leader of Odd Atelier herself, so she is the one who has to take primary responsibility for her personal career.
The female idol smoking and letting this frame appear in the vlog were all her own doing. The way fans defended Jennie regardless of reason, like blaming the editor, dragging other idols into the situation… made the public lose sympathy for the female idol.
The Jennie smoking incident broke out on July 8. Specifically, in a new vlog on her personal YouTube channel, Jennie (BLACKPINK) was caught acting like she was smoking an electronic cigarette.
While getting her makeup done for the Jacquemus show in Italy, the female idol put a suspicious object in her mouth and then blew out a puff of smoke. The smoke blew straight at the staff who were doing her makeup.
Immediately, this moment caused a storm on social networks. To “avoid the storm”, the female idol’s crew deleted this scene from the vlog, but this is still a topic that attracts a huge number of readers.
The widespread crisis caused Jennie to be heavily criticized, facing the risk of being fined, being turned away by the Korean media and labeled as “abusing power”.
The female idol’s company had to apologize but could not appease public opinion.
The smoking scandal and blowing smoke into the employee’s face caused Jennie to lose points in the public eye.
