Jennie has become the center of renewed online discussions after a viral blind item reignited “yachting” allegations. The term traditionally refers to luxury yacht trips. However, in recent years it has been used in internet slang to describe alleged escorting or transactional relationships involving celebrities and influential figures.

The claims trace back to a June post on Crazy Days and Nights, which hinted that a member of a “two-color group” had engaged in “yachting.” Blind items often spark speculation but remain anonymous and unverified.

While some have previously proven accurate in unrelated cases, many are never substantiated. Websites like Crazy Days and Nights have become known for fueling celebrity gossip through such posts.

Online speculation quickly pointed to Jennie, and gossip accounts further amplified the rumor on TikTok, where a video repeating the allegations went viral. The post sparked mixed reactions. Some dismissed it as baseless gossip, while others speculated about the claims.

Jennie faced podcast allegations as fans condemn defamatory claims amid Paris Fashion Week appearance

This wasn’t the first time Jennie faced such allegations. Months before the current controversy, a podcast episode had triggered a heated debate online after making serious claims about the K-pop industry. The clip, taken from the U.S.-based show Above The Influence, resurfaced recently after being edited and re-shared across platforms, drawing scrutiny.

In the episode, influencer Kira alleged that certain female idols were involved in escorting arrangements with wealthy individuals through their agencies. These claims lacked any proof but quickly spread online.

One of the hosts, Woohak, then escalated the conversation by linking the allegations to the BLACKPINK member. He claimed that someone he knew who was allegedly the son of a luxury car company heir, had been involved in such an encounter. He further asserted he had seen related footage.

No evidence was presented to back any of these claims however. The allegations were then swiftly condemned by fans and commentators, who criticized the podcast for amplifying unverified and harmful rumors. Many labeled the statements as defamatory, calling for accountability in how such claims are circulated online.

In recent news on Jennie, she made a striking appearance at Chanel’s Spring/Summer 2026 presentation during Paris Fashion Week on October 6, 2025. Attending the show as the luxury house’s global ambassador, the BLACKPINK member turned heads in a soft blue co-ord set featuring a strappy top and a matching skirt.

She completed the look with a lemon-yellow shoulder bag and sleek black heels. The 29-year-old idol was one of the most talked-about attendees at the event. She was seen in conversation with her The Idol co-star Lily-Rose Depp, Japanese actress Nana Komatsu and singer Gracie Abrams.
