On October 4, Jennie from BLACKPINK, V from BTS, and Kai from EXO appeared at Incheon International Airport on their way to Paris to attend Fashion Week as ambassadors for global brands.
The appearance of these three together, who have previously been linked by dating rumors, sparked mixed reactions. Jennie was associated with Kai from 2018, with their relationship announced in January 2019 and ended in the same month. Meanwhile, Jennie and V were involved in dating rumors in May 2022 after a photo allegedly showing them in a car on their way to a vacation on Jeju Island was leaked. Later, more photos of them were leaked from Jennie’s hacked iCloud account, and in May 2023, the rumors intensified with a video of them holding hands on dates along the Seine River in Paris.
Recently, Jennie faced strong criticism after her fashion show schedule was revealed. She is scheduled to appear at the Chanel fashion show on October 6, while V attended as a Celine ambassador, and Kai appeared at the Lacoste fashion show on October 5.
Jennie’s early departure to attend the Chanel show on October 6 sparked accusations of trying to exploit her past relationships and seeking attention.
An internet user commented: “But if I say Jennie went to Paris early just to stir up rumors with V and Kai while her brand’s show is only on Monday, I’m the villain. Meanwhile, BLINKs here are making AI-generated edits to prove my point.”
In response, an netizen wrote in support: “Exactly, I was thinking that too. No shade, but if you’re going to accompany someone intensely, it makes sense to try to avoid them if you don’t want to accompany them (unless you enjoy it). I’m not saying she can’t travel wherever she wants, but it’s odd that she left the same day, at almost the same time, and her show isn’t until Monday. That shows she doesn’t mind accompanying him.”Another user said that Jenny should have traveled today, “She could have traveled to Paris today and attended the show tomorrow, but this girl wants to draw media attention again. We’re tired of her.”… and, “Attention seeker, what did you expect?”
On the other hand, Jennie’s fans defended her, saying: “Are you that desperate for validation from Jennie? Girl, have you ever heard of a thing called ‘fitting’?”, “I can’t believe ARMYs are this backwards. Tae was the one following Jennie on Instagram back then, and who got all the hate? Jennie, of course. Even though their bias was the one following her, not the other way around.”, “Bitch, where is your mind? At every event, Jennie always leaves before the scheduled date. If you don’t know that, just stay quiet and focus on your man.”, “Someone didn’t get enough sleep yesterday, so she was looking up the Fashion Week schedule to make some point, oh.”
What do you think?
