As W Korea continues to face public backlash over this year’s “Love Your W” charity event, BLACKPINK’s Jennie has been pulled into the discussion — but this time, netizens are defending her.
The annual charity event, designed to promote breast cancer awareness, has been accused of losing its original intent. Critics argued that the 2025 edition felt more like a celebrity party than a meaningful campaign, with clips of drinking and loud performances spreading widely online.
Recently, an online community post on Nate Pann resurfaced old photos of Jennie and singer WOODZ from their 2023 appearance at the same event. The post quickly went viral, surpassing 55,000 views as users compared the atmosphere between last year and this year.
However, instead of criticism, Jennie received an outpouring of support from fans and online users who emphasized that the 2023 event had a completely different tone.
Comments on the forum included:
- It’s totally different this year. Jennie and WOODZ joined the campaign properly and even gave speeches.
- Every major idol attended last year, and no one was criticized. The atmosphere this year is just strange.
- Someone clearly changed the direction of the event — the AI visuals and the party vibe ruined everything.
- People are sharing old photos just to stir hate. Those images aren’t even from this year.
- You can even see RM on Jennie’s left — this is from the past event.
Fans stressed that the 2023 edition felt more purpose-driven and respectful, while this year’s version appeared to have lost focus on its charitable purpose.
As Love Your W 2025 continues to face scrutiny for its execution, Jennie’s past attendance has become a contrast point — a reminder of when the event maintained balance between style and substance.
