Jennie was terrified when she heard that Minji NewJeans had replaced Chanel, and her mother immediately caused a scene?

News in the Kpop community these past few days has been attracting attention as stories related to Blackpink and Jennie have been widely discussed on social media.

First, a rumor that Jennie "feared being surpassed by a member of NewJeans" was spreading rapidly, sparking controversy among fans.

According to a post from a Kpop commentary YouTube channel, a source claiming to have connections in the advertising industry said that when Minji, a member of NewJeans, was appointed as a brand ambassador for Chanel, Jennie and her mother were reportedly "very angry" because they feared the junior member might replace her in that role.

This information further states that Chanel had to issue a statement reassuring that Jennie's position was not threatened. However, the owner of the video admitted that they couldn't be 100% certain of the rumor's authenticity and urged viewers to be cautious. Controversy quickly erupted on social media, with many expressing both hope and criticism, even spreading to the NewJeans fan community. Currently, neither Jennie nor Minji have given any official response to this story, so all information remains speculative and unverified.

The wave of discussion surrounding Jennie partly reflects the audience's strong interest in the position and influence of current generation artists in the K-pop industry. Some netizens expressed disappointment if the rumors were true, fearing it showed a lack of confidence in younger artists, while others spoke up in defense of Jennie, emphasizing that speculation based on unverified sources is unfair and could damage the artist's image.

Meanwhile, BLACKPINK fans are also focusing their attention on the group's latest musical release. BLACKPINK is preparing to release a mini-album titled DEADLINE on February 27, 2026, marking their comeback after more than three years since their 2022 album, Born Pink. This EP consists of 5 songs, with "Go" as the title track, following the success of the single Jump. Although there is still debate about whether it is an EP or an album, this product is considered a significant comeback for the group internationally and acknowledges the strong individual development of each member after a period of focusing on solo projects.

However, information surrounding DEADLINE has also sparked some discussion, with some sources suggesting that this might be BLACKPINK's final product under YG Entertainment, as their group contract is reportedly set to expire this year. According to some sources, the members are currently busy with individual activities such as acting, variety shows, and brand collaborations, making scheduling group activities complicated. This has led to questions about BLACKPINK's long-term future with the full lineup after DEADLINE's release. However, details regarding the contract or specific promotional plans after the album have not yet been officially confirmed by the management company.

These developments come amidst the BLACKPINK members' significant progress in their individual careers and their growing international attention. The upcoming release of DEADLINE is seen as a new milestone in the group's musical journey, raising both expectations and questions about their future direction in K-pop and the next generation of idols.
