BLACKPINK Jennie’s Dangerous Clubbing Behavior Criticized by Korean Netizens

BLACKPINK’s Jennie is facing backlash after a video from her birthday party at a Japanese club went viral.

The clip shows champagne bottles with sparklers lit indoors, sparks flying dangerously close to the ceiling while people dance nearby. This kind of club service is common in nightlife scenes but many say it’s a serious fire hazard.

The controversy began as the footage spread just weeks after a tragic club fire in Switzerland killed over 40 people. That fire reportedly started after indoor fireworks ignited flammable materials, spreading flames within seconds.

Authorities in Switzerland banned indoor fireworks and many countries warned against them after the disaster. South Korean fire departments also caution against sparklers in clubs because of low ceilings, flammable items, and crowded spaces that make emergency escapes tough.

Some netizens say Jennie is being unfairly singled out since indoor sparklers happen often in clubs. Others feel her star power means she should be more responsible.

“I’ve been served those a lot at clubs, but holding them that close to the ceiling is way too dangerous…”

“She really looks thoughtless.”

“So this is just everyday life in clubs, huh? LOL. If there’s a fire, they’ll just deal with it themselves. Why should I care?”
