Jennie of BLACKPINK Confronts Major Claims Following Viral Video

BLACKPINK member Jennie is facing controversy over alleged racist behavior toward a fan.

The controversy began when a video of Jennie interacting with a crowd asking for her autograph went viral on X (formerly Twitter). Fans criticized Jennie for her “attitude,” saying she was reluctant and rude when giving autographs.

Soon after, screenshots circulated showing Jennie signing a photocard but avoiding touching a Black fan’s hand. Netizens accused her of racism based on the clips.

“Why is jennie acting like she’ll catch something if she touches a Black fan’s hand? That’s crazy”
— @lovethve

Fans quickly pushed back, explaining Jennie was frustrated with “resellers” stalking her for signatures—not regular fans. One showed piles of photocards from resellers trying to profit from signed items.

“Context of what happened today. These aren’t fans. they’re resellers who stalk her every time she’s in Paris. I’m glad she finally stood up for herself and told them directly to leave her alone. Artists are human too. they’re not tools for people to profit from.”

“i feel like yall are dumb asf and insane bc these are obviously not fans and are paparazzi’s hounding her, following her and trying to get her to sign things for them to sell… celebrities are ppl too. imagine if someone did this to the tannies? yall would be raging.”

“Jennie is too nice for my liking. This is the second time those resellers have done this to her. Hopefully next time she will send them to hell.”

Jennie’s manager also stepped in to control the situation.
