BLACKPINK’s Jennie sparks debate after viral ‘lazy’ performance accusations; fans rally in support

BLACKPINK's Jennie's dance sparks buzz

BLACKPINK’s Jennie has once again become the focus of heated online discussion after new clips from the group’s recent concerts in the Philippines went viral, triggering strong reactions from both critics and supporters.

BLACKPINK performed two back-to-back shows in the Philippines, featuring the members’ popular solo stages. During the second concert, Jennie’s solo segment quickly went viral, reigniting familiar accusations from some corners of the internet claiming she is a “lazy” or “unenthusiastic” performer.

The criticism mirrors past controversies where short or selectively edited clips led to claims about her stage energy, narratives that fans have repeatedly challenged as misleading.

This time, however, the backlash was met with even louder pushback. Many netizens who attended the concert argued that the viral clips fail to capture the true atmosphere of Jennie’s performance. They highlighted her sharp choreography, strong stage presence, and confident delivery, noting that the idol’s live energy surpasses what can be seen in TikTok snippets.

Several attendees emphasised that Jennie’s charisma and control on stage remain unmatched, praising her for consistently “slaying” her performances.
