Jennie was turned away by the Korean press, criticized for keeping this attitude when entangled in a scandal

Even after issuing an official apology, the controversy over Jennie ( Blackpink) smoking e-cigarettes in a closed space and ferrying smoke in the face of the female idol's employees is still the hottest topic in the entertainment industry today.

On July 10, an article in My Daily titled "The main problem is not Jennie's smoking" received great attention from netizens. The reporter who wrote this article emphasized: "The controversy is not only because of smoking in the house but also because of Jennie's lack of interest in the people around her."

In fact, the main reason why netizens criticized Jennie was for her impolite and rude behavior when blowing e-cigarette smoke in the face of her employees. This is a big issue related to courtesy and manners. The reporter said it was disrespectful and rude to those around her, regardless of whether Jennie was fined or not. Smoking is her freedom but she is not free to do so when she is around other people.

Jennie is old enough to smoke but the question is whether she is allowed to smoke in that place and whether her actions cause inconvenience to others. Jennie can be fined if she smokes in a non-smoking area. Many people were annoyed by Jennie's thoughtless act of blowing smoke in front of Jennie's employees because the smoke from e-cigarettes was very dangerous.

In fact, Jennie is not the first celebrity to cause controversy for smoking indoors. In April 2023, Kim Hee Min, who goes by the pseudonym Kian84 (the father of the hit webtoon Fashion King), was also fined 100,000 won (nearly 2 million VND) for smoking while filming SNL Korea. Actor Ji Chang-wook also faced harsh criticism when he was caught smoking on the set during the filming of "Welcome to Samdalri".

Every action of a celebrity attracts public attention and the ability to influence widely. Therefore, they need to be aware of their responsibilities and carefully consider the potential consequences before acting. Even personal habits such as smoking need to be considered more carefully when practiced by influential people.

Smoking is a personal freedom, but smoking in public and how to behave with those around you is a matter of ethics and responsibility. In Jennie's case, her smoking behavior has caused controversy, the most disappointing of which is her inconsiderate and disrespectful attitude towards employees.

Meanwhile, the controversy over Jennie's smoking erupted on July 8 when a clip from Jennie's Vlog video of the actress smoking e-cigarettes in a closed room went viral on social media. In particular, the BlackPink member was seen putting a vape in his mouth and then releasing smoke in front of a makeup artist while preparing for a fashion show in Jacquemus, Italy.

The video quickly attracted attention and went viral, even reaching the top 1 search on Weibo. Many fans expressed their frustration and criticized Jennie for her e-smoking behavior in the house, especially when there were other people around. Realizing the seriousness of the incident, Jennie's management company immediately deleted this scene from the Vlog video to "put out the fire" and issued an official apology.

However, despite efforts to deal with it, the media crisis spread, making Jennie even more the focus of fierce criticism. The female idol faces the risk of being fined for violating the ban on smoking in public, and her image and reputation are seriously affected. The Korean media turned their backs on Jennie, labeling her an "abusive star". The apology from the management company also could not calm the public outrage.

Jennie is said to have no eyes for people, hangs out with sinners, and is hated by the whole of Kpop.
