[theqoo] JENNIE WHO FORGOT HER INDOORS SMOKING CONTROVERSY... LIGHTS UP CANDLE RESEMBLING A CIGARETTE

Blackpink's Jennie, who previously apologized for indoor smoking and secondhand smoke controversies, showed behavior reminiscent of smoking in a video released to celebrate her birthday.

On the 16th, Jennie posted a short video celebrating her 30th birthday on her social media account. In the video, Jennie is holding a cake, then puts on sunglasses and a character headband given to her by her friends, and then puts a long birthday candle in her mouth and lights it with a torch. Jennie then puts the candle in the cake and blows it out with her mouth. Jennie then placed the candles on the cake and blew them out. This was just a birthday video that became popular on social media, but it drew some uncomfortable reactions because she was the same person who caused controversy in 2024 when she blew cigarette smoke in the faces of staff members.

Jennie was criticized in 2024 when she was caught smoking an e-cigarette indoors and blowing the smoke in the face of a staff member while filming in Capri, Italy. At the time, Jennie's agency admitted to smoking indoors and apologized directly to the staff member, and also released an official apology through her agency.

Jennie's smoking scene was belatedly revealed when an overseas netizen uploaded a fleeting moment from a YouTube vlog to X (formerly Twitter). The sight of her blowing smoke in front of the staff was so natural, just like she always did. Even considering that she couldn't turn her head because there was a staff member behind her touching her hair, it was an act that deserved to be criticized as rude.

At the time, netizens responded with comments such as, "Did she have to smoke like that while getting her hair and makeup done?", "This is a form of power trip by a star towards her staff", "What she's doing is typical of grandpas power tripping with their age. Smoking in front of people", and "That's an unexpected sight."
