Jennie was 'scolded' by Billboard, BLINK 'mad' sent an ultimatum to remove the video?

Not only did the online community complain and satirize Jennie for being lazy, but Billboard US magazine also 'disliked' female idols. A video posted by Billboard recently was met with a wave of outrage from Jennie's fan community.

Accordingly, Jennie's fandom forced this prestigious magazine to remove related content. However, the public still demanded an official apology, saying that the removal of the video was "not enough".

Specifically, Billboard posted a video of a street interview in which a reporter asked passers-by for their opinions on the female artist's performances. Jennie is one of the characters mentioned, accompanied by a short clip saying that she is "lazy on stage", at the performance of the song " DDU-DU DDU-DU " with Blackpink members.

The video shows Jennie suddenly stopping dancing on stage when the other 3 members are still performing the right group choreography. This video was once used by anti-fans to criticize Jennie as a "lazy" female idol.

Some interviewees made negative comments such as: "She's always been like that for years" or "Didn't give us anything."

Immediately after the video went viral, BLACKPINK fans around the world protested in unison. They think that Billboard has used cropped images, lack of context, and even quotes from people who hate Jennie to create a false story, thereby spreading information that damages the female artist's reputation. "The use of haters' videos in the article to distort Jennie's actions is unprofessional and goes against journalistic standards and Billboard's decades-long legacy," a Chinese fan community account commented.

Not only the international BLINK community, many celebrities in cultural critics and social media users also condemned it at the same time. One account wrote: "Jennie deserves an apology. She is a human being like everyone else and does not deserve to be treated so inhumanely."

The reporter who conducted the interview later explained that she was hired to shoot the interview at random, had no knowledge of BLACKPINK, and did not intentionally attack Jennie. However, this explanation could not appease public opinion. The online community still requires Billboard to be clearly responsible for the content they have distributed.

Some people also pointed out the contradiction in Billboard's behavior when it once put Jennie on the cover of a magazine, giving her the title of "Woman of the Year", but easily abetted an unverified negative video. "Without Jennie there are no clicks, I guess," one user quipped. Considering that Billboard and Jennie have had many good relationships in the past, the magazine's current actions are even more frustrating.

In January of this year, Jennie became the face of the cover of Billboard Magazine. In March, the female idol was honored with the "Global Force" award at the 2025 Billboard Women in Music Awards.

In the moment of receiving the award, Jennie gave an inspirational speech: "This award is for all women who dare to dream, dare to be creative and constantly shape the world in their own way. Women are a powerhouse. When we are united, we can support each other and go further than ever before."

In the face of a wave of criticism, Billboard deleted the controversial post. But Blackpink fans are still simultaneously pushing the trend on social network X with the keyword "Billboard apologizes to Jennie". They asked the famous music magazine to apologize to Jennie in person, instead of just deleting the video and being silent.

Regarding Jennie, she has not made any moves to counter the above market.

From the beginning of 2024, Jennie (Blackpink) has left YG Entertainment and ended her personal contract. After that, she established a new company to serve her own career. The beauty also became more active and fresh than ever. Even though she has been active as a solo singer, Jennie still remembers the sisterhood in the group Blackpink.

The beauty also talked about the difference between working as a solo artist and working in a group: "Working as a solo artist is very different. You're alone in the studio and with the team, we'll discuss everything and move forward if everyone agrees. But now, I have to make all the decisions myself, that's the biggest difference."

After all the efforts for their personal careers, now the four most popular Kpop fans have been shaking the world, when they reunite in the DEADLINE world tour, with eye-catching performances that have made BLACKPINK's name globally.
