In a new vlog on her personal YouTube channel, BLACKPINK’s Jennie was seen doing something that looked like vaping. Specifically, while getting her makeup done in preparation for the Jacquemus show in Italy, the female idol brought a suspicious object to her mouth and then exhaled smoke. This smoke then could be seen drifting towards the staff doing her makeup.
Jennie’s team has quickly deleted this scene from the vlog, but it remains a hot topic attracting a massive readership. In particular, the topic “Jennie suspected of vaping” is currently the number one trending entertainment topic on the Chinese SNS platform Weibo. Meanwhile, a related topic on “theqoo” has also drawn massive attention with over 70,000 views and thousands of comments within just an hour.
Jennie’s actions have received a lot of criticism from netizens. They argue that vaping directly harms Jennie’s health and affects the makeup staff around her. Moreover, they claimed that the action tarnishes the idol’s image, having a negative influence on young fans.
However, some opinions suggest that Jennie might not have been vaping and that it could have been a different object causing a misunderstanding.
Below are some comments from netizens:
- There’s a person right in front of her…………. It’s really rude to just use vape in their face like that
- I really hate people who smoke indoors
- It’s fine to vape but I don’t think she should do it right into someone’s face like that
- She must be a rather heavy smoker to have to smoke even while putting on makeup like that
- She’s an adult, so it’s up to her whether she smokes or not. However, she should smoke after she puts her makeup on.
- Smoking is okay, but it sucks when there’s someone right in front of you.
- Wow, it seems like these celebrities really don’t see their staff as people.
