BLACKPINK’s Jennie Shows Visible Frustration With Reporters At The Airport
BLACKPINK’s Jennie is facing controversy after her tense arrival at Taiwan’s airport ahead of the 40th Golden Disc Awards.
The idol flew into Taiwan expecting VIP treatment with a private vehicle and fast-track access. But things quickly went south as reporters and photographers swarmed the airport gate, ignoring her privacy requests.
Fans on site reported cameras flashing non-stop right in Jennie’s face. Reporters reportedly blocked pathways and disrupted other passengers while squatting inside the customs area.
Jennie was visibly irritated and tired. At one point, she pulled her coat over her head trying to shield herself from the cameras. Videos of this moment went viral on X, with fans defending her and calling out the disrespect.
“台湾媒体全球最low素质：
1⃣直接蹲在海关内机场登机口出口处堵着拍，严重影响其他乘客通行
2⃣Jennie申请了vip通道和商务车，在不尊重金珍妮意愿和隐私的情况下，开闪光灯怼脸拍
3⃣这些记者/狗仔不语，只是一味的开闪光灯咔咔咔。没喊一句Jennie的名字，却自称‘台湾粉丝’
尊重是相互的，望周知”
