BLACKPINK Jennie Kim has come under scrutiny by Chinese internet users for what they perceive as laziness and poor performance skills onstage.
Some critics suggest that her perceived lack of effort negatively impacts BLACKPINK overall image.
Growing Dissatisfaction Among Fans
This wave of criticism follows a concert where Jennie seemed to be less than fully engaged in her performance, despite appearing healthy and energetic during a mountain climbing excursion the day prior.
This contrast especially struck a nerve among fans who felt let down by Jennie's lackluster performance, especially since she was once one of their favorite members.

Jennie — A Snapshot
Jennie Kim was born on the 16th of January in 1996 in the upscale neighborhood of Cheongdam-dong. Standing at a height of 163 cm, and with a weight of 45 kg, Jennie fills the roles of the main rapper and the lead vocalist for BLACKPINK.
Renowned for her penchant for high-end fashion, specifically brands like Chanel and Gucci, she's garnered the moniker "YG Princess" within her team, a nod to her trendsetting style.
Jennie's education took an international route as she lived in Auckland, New Zealand for five years, where she attended ACG Parnell College. With a trilingual skill set, she speaks Korean, Japanese, and English with fluency.
Her palate leans towards Korean food and a sweet spot for milk-flavored ice cream. But there's more to Jennie than her linguistic skills and food preferences - she is musically gifted, capable of playing the piano and the flute, and has a surprising proficiency in the culinary arts.
