BLACKPINK’s Jennie’s fans speculate her alleged turbulent personal and professional life to be the reason for her getting emotional at recent group concert

BLACKPINK's Jennie getting emotional while singing Typa Girl at her group's BST concert in London has sparked discussions amongst fans. While one cannot pinpoint the exact reason why the SOLO singer suddenly started crying, BLINKs have attributed it to her alleged turbulent personal and professional life.

BLACKPINK’s Jennie has been in the news for almost a year now for one or the other reasons. It is no secret that the Pink Venom singer has been embroiled in dating rumours with BTS’ V for around a year now after they were allegedly spotted on a romantic getaway to Jeju Islands last May.

More recently, the duo were reportedly spotted in Paris in May 2023, enjoying a quiet evening together. Understandably this caused an uproar amongst BTS’ V and BLACKPINK’s Jennie’s fans, with unsavoury and abusive comments directed at the SOLO singer and her character. At the time, BLINKs were furious with YG Entertainment for their non-committal stance.

Additionally, BLACKPINK member Jennie faced a lot of heat from Korean netizens and K-pop fans for partaking in the controversial and raunchy drama, HBO’s The Idol. The SOLO singer played the role of the ambitious, social climber Dyanne, eyeing protagonist Jocelyn’s (played by Lily-Rose Depp) spot.

Although, she had no raunchy scenes, her seductive dance moves gained massive traction amongst Koreans who criticised her for her titillating and vulgar dance moves. Fans even questioned her for her decision to star in The Idol and how she let BLINKs down by doing this.

While the reasons mentioned are purely speculative, the narrative fits like a glove with the lyrics of Typa Girl mentioned above. It seems like BLACKPINK’s Jennie had an emotional outburst over the various controversies in life and the fan tweets in the recent past are proof of the same.

While, BLACKPINK’s Jennie has time and again defended her choice to star in HBO’s The Idol and praised her equation with The Weeknd, Lily-Rose Depp and Troye Sivan. Despite that, she has faced severe s*ut shaming on the internet.

Also, her alleged relationship with BTS’ V continues to make headlines, owing to their global popularity. Notably, the dating rumours and YG Entertainment’s lack of clarification on the dating rumours have caused friction in the fandom.

BLACKPINK’s Jennie’s The Idol might get canceled owing to the negative response

Jennie made her acting and Hollywood debut in HBO’s The Idol with a brief but impactful role as the ambitious backup dancer, Dyanne. While, she wowed fans with her amazing performance, the show might be facing an axe due to the overwhelmingly negative response. Despite the criticism, the first episode of The Idol garnered 0.232 million viewers or 0.05 television rating points, the main draw being Jennie

It is believed that The Idol, which was originally planned for six episodes, got reduced to five episodes and may not be renewed at all for a season 2. BLINKs are disappointed as they were looking forward to Dyanne’s character arc and Jennie’s rendition of World Class Sinner.

Although, there is no official word from HBO, BLINKs don’t have their hopes too high and are instead praying the SOLO singer signs more projects that highlight her true acting talent.
