BLACKPINK Jennie Faces Backlash Over Body Criticism In Viral Post

BLACKPINK Jennie is facing backlash after a post criticizing her weight went viral.
The controversy began on November 19 when someone shared a post titled “Jennie’s belly fat is sticking out.” The OP said, “Even when she was standing, it looked like that, but when she sat down, her belly stuck out.” They included photos to “prove” their point.
Photos accompanying the post were from Jennie’s recent appearances.

As the situation blew up, netizens slammed the OP hard for bodyshaming Jennie.
“Even if Jennie gains weight, she’s still slimmer than your body will ever be in your whole life lol.”
“Her outfit is tight on the top and bottom, so when she sits, the flesh just gets pushed out. Do you really think that means she gained belly fat? LOL.
If you’re ugly and have nothing, at least try to have a decent personality. OP, seriously… how miserable must your life be when everything about it is ruined like that.”
“Jennie is seriously still at the top… The fact that people are still posting hate threads about her shows she’s really having a long run. She’ll probably stay active for years more lol.”
“If you want to criticize Jennie for being ‘fat,’ you must be living life terribly, girl lol.”
“Jennie has such a pretty body shape and is still slim. Don’t worry about her; worry about your own ruined body shape. Whether you gain or lose weight, your figure is wrecked either way.”

Netizens emphasized Jennie’s appearance is normal and blamed the way she was sitting or the clothes she wore for the photos’ look.
This incident marks the ongoing trend of netizens both targeting and defending idols over their weight online. Fans rallied quickly against the hate aimed at BLACKPINK Jennie, calling out unnecessary body-shaming.
No official statement from Jennie or her agency has been made yet. The situation is still developing.
