BLACKPINK Jennie Comments on Lee Young Ji's Post About Someone Pretending to be Her
On Jun. 4, Lee Young Ji took to her Instagram account to share screenshots from her DMs (direct messages). Someone had pretended to be BLACKPINK Jennie and messaged Lee Young Ji, saying that they were Jennie and asking to meet up if they had the time.
At first glance, people may be fooled over the similar username and how the account has the same profile picture as Jennie's actual account.
However, upon further inspection, the user name is different. Jennie's Instagram account is @jennierubyjane, while the account that messaged Lee Young Ji is @jennierubyiena.
