Reactions from people were split quickly. Some questioned Jennie’s public image as she “only has anxiety attacks around her fans or when she’s performing as an idol,” and “now the anxiety is gone, and those ankles are fine.”
Others responded with comments like this one: “Not people bashing Jennie for having a 30th birthday party in a bar with her friends. The conservative expectations of her are completely insane.” People were celebrating Jennie’s birthday with her friends at a bar.
One man called out Jennie’s haters, “Hating on a THIRTY-YEAR-OLD woman clubbing, fam, y’all need to get a life. Eight years of harassment and she’s shown she dgaf. Let it go.”
One Jennie stan called out the fandom, “The Army is single-handedly setting women back 100 years with their disgusting behavior towards women.”
Jennie Kim had a little gathering before the club, which featured an enormous Cinnamoroll cake. Afterward, she hit the stage for BLACKPINK’s “Deadline” global concert in Tokyo, where fans sang for her.
