The video, uploaded as part of a live blog on YouTube for fans but subsequently removed, appears to show Jennie exhaling vape smoke while a bevy of hair and make-up artists work closely on her face.
Jennie of Blackpink performs at the Coachella Stage during the 2023 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on April 22, 2023 in Indio, California. Emma McIntyre/Getty Images for Coachella/AFPA now-deleted video showing K-pop megastar Jennie of Blackpink apparently smoking a vape indoors has sparked online outcry, with Seoul's foreign ministry telling AFP on Tuesday it had received a formal complaint.
"Controversy over Jennie's indoor smoking... exhaling smoke in the face of her staff," was the headline of the Yonhap news agency's report on the incident, typical of the widespread reporting in Korean-language media. South Korea's Ministry of Foreign Affairs told AFP on Tuesday that they had received a petition related to the incident.
"Posting such a video on her own SNS channel raises serious questions about her common sense... It is deeply disappointing," said one commentator on South Korean portal Naver.
