The current controversies surrounding the members of Blackpink are tarnishing their image in the eyes of the public. Since their debut, Blackpink has quickly solidified their position in the K-pop music industry and gained global recognition. Among them, Jennie is one of the hottest names in the group and holds significant influence on social media, consistently ranking at the top among current female idols.
Jennie is regarded as an idol image that aspiring trainees look up to. However, her involvement in consecutive controversies such as being labeled as "lazy," a "princess syndrome," engaging in relationships, and most recently, receiving criticism for her role in The Idol, has made her a target of attack and rejection.
Is the beauty gradually losing her passion for the stage? Many people believe that Jennie is neither hardworking nor dedicated to her idol career like other Blackpink members. The rumors of her dating V from BTS were seen as the "first shot" that intensified the wave of criticism towards the K-pop girl group member. While neither of them has spoken out to deny the rumors, the ambiguous stance of their management company leaves fans feeling powerless and unable to defend their idol.
Following a series of rumors, Jennie is currently speculated to be dating V from BTS. The most recent incident that drew criticism towards the idol occurred on the evening of June 11th during Blackpink's second performance in Melbourne, Australia. However, during their performance of "Lovesick Girls," Jennie unexpectedly left the stage due to health issues.
Jennie's sudden departure from the stage left the audience bewildered. According to fans present at the concert, the idol visibly showed signs of exhaustion during the opening performance. Some international fans even commented that Jennie had been feeling nauseous all day and had weakened health. However, just a few days later, social media platform Weibo was abuzz with a picture of a cheerful Jennie participating in a mountain climbing trip, seemingly not experiencing any fatigue. Although the exact timing of the photo couldn't be verified, it has certainly changed the public's perception of the Chanel ambassador.
The image of Blackpink members going mountain climbing was subsequently shared on the Weibo online community. Following that, during a performance on June 16th, Jennie once again disappointed fans by delivering a lackluster performance, even forgetting dance moves and lyrics, requiring Rosé to remind her directly on stage.
While the other three members continued to perform well, Jennie seemed to lack focus on stage. Some criticized her for delivering lackluster performances and being willing to leave the stage mid-concert due to health concerns, but then going all out at Bruno Mars' concert in Korea just a day later.
The beauty appeared in South Korea to participate in Bruno Mars' concert right after. Malicious comments further assert that it seems like the members of Blackpink only give their all at events that can bring them fame, but are lazy during their own world tour. Most recently, Jennie faced another wave of criticism for performing provocative dance moves alongside male dancers in a scene from The Idol. Despite it being her first acting experience, the idol has been caught up in numerous controversies regarding her facial expressions while dancing, excessively "sensual" dialogues, and awkward acting skills.
The first film of the Blackpink member did not receive much love from the audience. The reaction from fans to this round of criticism towards Jennie seems to be silence. The fact that the idol decided to take on a role herself shows her intention to venture into Hollywood, but the haste with which she pursued it has backfired.
The choreography and costumes have sparked controversy due to the excessive sensuality of the beauty in the film. In fact, on social media, some fans have shared that they feel unable to continue being supporters of her after watching this film.
Jennie seems to be losing many things as she no longer focuses on her career. Additionally, after the release of "The Idol," a concerning fact that has made BLINK (Blackpink's fanbase) uneasy is the lack of public support from other members of Blackpink, namely Lisa, Rosé, and Jisoo. Some opinions suggest that this might be because the other members do not want to get caught up in the intense criticism and backlash that Jennie is currently facing.
