BLACKPINK Jennie Speculated of Faking Fatigue at Airport + Ignites Comparisons to Rosé

BLACKPINK Jennie is speculated to have faked her fatigue at the airport, sparking comparisons to co-member Rosé.

Jennie, a popular yet often controversial K-pop idol, recently found herself at the heart of online debates following a video of her at the airport.

In the clip from May 28, Jennie is seen visibly distressed and clutching her head as she is surrounded by fans and journalists. This incident isn't Jennie's first time dealing with such overwhelming situations at airports.

Traditionally, idols arriving at airports are known for their chaotic welcomes due to over-excited fans and media outlets.

The video sparked sympathy from Jennie's fans, who asked people to respect the idol's privacy.

However, others criticized Jennie, labeling her a "drama queen" and accusing her of exaggerating her discomfort.

Korean netizens pointed out her fluctuating energy levels, noting that she appears lively in social settings like parties but overwhelmed at airports. They compared her behavior with that of her fellow BLACKPINK member Rosé, who typically maintains her composure while in airports.

In defense, fans highlighted that Jennie has anxiety, noting that the overcrowding places a large amount of stress not only on Jennie but on other idols as well. They added that, unlike scheduled events, airport crowds are often unpredictable.

They also addressed Rosé’s experiences, noting that she has also experienced situations like Jennie's and showed how stressed she was because of it.

This ongoing debate focuses on the security BLACKPINK members have during solo schedules. Fans argue that not enough is being done to protect them, pointing to the need for better security management.

However, many believe that the root problem is the intrusive behavior of certain fans, rather than the number of bodyguards the girls have.
