A disturbing old rumor about “yachting” — a term used to describe wealthy individuals paying celebrities for private encounters on luxury yachts — has resurfaced online, with some users speculating that BLACKPINK’s Jennie was among those named in a blind item.
In recent weeks, “yachting” has been trending across social media after several posts accused prominent figures, including American rapper Saweetie, of being “Yachters.” The term no longer refers to leisure trips at sea, but rather to a controversial world of celebrity escorting and secret power dynamics involving high-profile entertainers and elite clients.
Among these discussions, resurfaced videos and forum posts revisited a June blind item published by the well-known gossip site Crazy Days & Nights, notorious for exposing alleged secrets of Hollywood and global entertainment. The post hinted that a member of a “two-color” girl group — a clue many netizens took to mean BLACKPINK — was involved in “yachting.” The comments quickly pointed to Jennie, though no evidence ever supported the claim.
At the time, online reactions were sharply divided. Many fans condemned the speculation as baseless slander, while a few users tried to rationalize the rumor by mentioning “trainee debts” or “industry pressure.” Still, most agreed that the blind item, like many on the site, relied on vague insinuations rather than facts.
While Crazy Days & Nights has gained notoriety for occasionally publishing blinds that later proved true, it has also been widely criticized for promoting unverified and invasive gossip. To date, there has been no credible evidence or statement linking Jennie to any such activities.
The rumor remains one of many unfounded stories surrounding BLACKPINK’s members — a reflection of the intense scrutiny faced by K-pop stars who dominate both global fame and online speculation.
