BLACKPINK Jennie Faces Criticism from Fans: Is She Being Called a B*tch?

As the global ambassador for Chanel, Jennie made a significant impression at Paris Fashion Week, attracting considerable media attention in France. However, outside of the fashion events, she encountered a group of overly enthusiastic fans who directed inappropriate comments at her when things did not proceed as they hoped.

Specifically, upon her arrival at the Chanel showroom, some fans were eagerly waiting outside for her. The moment the popular Korean “It girl” stepped out, they attempted to solicit her autograph.

Due to her tight schedule, Jennie walked straight past without stopping. This prompted some members of the crowd, evidently fans, to utter rude remarks like, “Are you serious?” and “Do you hate us?”

Reports from netizens indicated that one individual in the group made especially offensive comments, as a voice in the background of a video could be heard derogatorily calling the female idol a b*tch. Although Jennie did not acknowledge the insults at first, she eventually paused to sign autographs and take photos with the assembled fans. However, it was noted that she seemed somewhat reluctant and fatigued, as though the interaction was compelled.

Jennie’s devoted fans have since called for her management team and security to ensure her protection and safety. In response to the backlash, the individual who posted the video deleted their TikTok upload and locked their account.

In other news, earlier this week, Jennie released a teaser for her upcoming solo project, titled Mantra. Based on the teaser, fans speculate that her new album will convey themes of empowerment and inspiration for women. Although the album has not yet been officially released, the depth of meaning that Jennie appears to have infused into her work has left fans eagerly anticipating music that celebrates womanhood.
