Chinese netizens are accusing BLACKPINK Jennie of being “lazy” and even faking her illness after the Melbourne concert.
Previously on June 11th, Jennie had to leave the stage of BLACKPINK’s concert in Melbourne mid-way due to health reasons. It is reported that Jennie was absent from the soundcheck session of the same day due to poor health, even having to receive saline injection in order to perform.
Later on, Jennie also published an apology on her Instagram story, saying, “I’m so sorry I wasn’t able to finish the show on Sunday. I’m doing my best to recover at the moment. Your understanding and support means the world to me.”
However, the night after the aforementioned concert, a Chinese netizen claimed to have met Jennie, Rosé, and Jisoo at a Haidilao – a hotpot restaurant in Melbourne. As a result, netizens who believe in this claim started to accuse Jennie of “unprofessionalism”, and expressed doubts that Jennie was truly unwell. Various times Jennie suddenly left the stage
In addition, Jennie’s provocative dialogue in the 2nd episode of “The Idol” also bring ire to certain Chinese fans. Harsh keywords related to Jennie leaving the concert, “The Idol” appearance, and alleged spotting at Haidilao also started to trend on the Chinese SNS platform Weibo.
On top of these, some netizens also took to Jennie’s Instagram to criticize the female idols. Below are some of their comments:
- She has no respect or her real career
- Jennie’s unprofessionalism ruined the atmosphere of the show
- She should have apologized to fans directly instead of through a story
- If she was truly unwell, how can she go to Haidilao the next day?
- Such an attention seeker, pretending to be sick on stage yet so good in club
However, many fans are also taking Jennie’s side, stating that there is actual footage of Jennie visiting the hot pot restaurant. In addition, the female idol clearly had a mark that proved she needs a saline injection, they said.
