SEOUL, South Korea — A now-deleted video showing K-pop megastar Jennie of Blackpink apparently smoking a vape indoors has sparked online outcry, with Seoul's foreign ministry saying it had received a formal complaint.
Odd Atelier, Jennie's management for solo activities, issued a statement in Korean and English on behalf of Jennie apologizing for the incident. One internet user claimed the incident likely happened in Italy's Capri, where Jennie had been filming, and said they had requested that the South Korean Embassy in Italy and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs probe the Blackpink star, the Korea Times reported.
Blackpink's other achievements include being the first K-pop girl group to reach the top of the US Billboard 200 chart, and the first Asian artists to headline prestigious music events such as Coachella. South Korean pop stars undergo rigorous training for years before their debut and are held to high behavioral standards, with smoking, dating, and swearing largely forbidden, especially in the first years following their debut."It's really harsh," Jennie, who debuted with Blackpink in 2016, said in a Netflix documentary.
