Blackpink member Jennie is facing online backlash after a video of her appearing to behave rudely towards her staff during a concert surfaced on social media.
The clip, shared widely by fans and critics alike, captures a moment during the group’s Deadline World Tour where Jennie’s shoe issue interrupts her performance of "Forever Young". Moments later, she is seen interacting with a staff member.

The video has triggered a wave of criticism from netizens. One social media user posted, “Even if it's a concert, it doesn't mean she can treat the staff as she wants.” Another wrote, “Workers are humans too, and they're the closest to you, followed by the fans. If she really can't treat her workers right now, how much more her fans?”
Blackpink is currently on their Deadline World Tour, which began on July 5 at the Goyang Stadium in South Korea and continues through January 2026 with stops in Los Angeles, Paris, London, Jakarta, and more.
The group has reunited after focusing on solo music activities and is performing to sold-out crowds across continents.
The incident has divided fans, with some defending Jennie while others demand accountability for her public behaviour.
