K-Netizens Respond to BLACKPINK’s Jennie Receiving Backlash from Global Fans Over “Lackluster Performance”

A wave of criticism from international fans has hit Jennie following her performance during BLACKPINK’s recent ‘Deadline’ world tour. Clips from the show quickly spread online, sparking debate about her stage presence and energy levels.

Fans voiced their disappointment as some felt Jennie’s performance didn’t meet the high expectations set by her previous appearances. The reaction shows how closely BLACKPINK’s global audience watches every move of the group’s performances, expecting consistent energy and engagement.

This isn’t the first time Jennie has faced scrutiny over her stage output. However, the scale of reactions following the ‘Deadline’ shows seems more intense this time, fueled by video evidence circulating widely on social media platforms.

One particular point of contention was Jennie’s interaction with the crowd and other members during the concerts. A number of viewers expressed that she appeared less involved compared to past tours or solo stages, which led to a hefty stream of comments online.

BLACKPINK’s agency has not issued an official comment addressing the backlash yet. Meanwhile, fans are split—some are defending Jennie, insisting that everyone has off days and that their dedication to the group is unwavering.

"Jennie has always worked hard and given her best on stage," one supporter wrote in a community forum, reflecting a common sentiment across fan spaces trying to counterbalance the criticism.

Despite the mixed reactions, BLACKPINK’s ‘Deadline’ tour remains one of the most talked-about events in K-pop this year, drawing huge crowds globally and securing multiple awards.

As the group continues with their busy schedule, eyes will surely remain on Jennie and the entire team, watching how they handle this moment under the spotlight.
