I thought y’all were just exaggerating. But after watching those videos, she really isn't even trying. This is so disrespectful
to the fans who paid a large amount of money to see them, only to receive this kind of energy from their fave. It’s just so sad☹️ https://t.co/DvOM3KI8Q5 pic.twitter.com/fMCICzCCnO— san benito (@MlDNIGHT__) April 3, 2025
I'm so sorry, but this is straight-up scamming. Imagine paying hundreds of dollars just to see them being lazy, looking forced to be there, and not even trying. I'm genuinely asking, how is this okay with their fans? https://t.co/gu4M6dKT5g

Some fans pointed out that Jennie’s energy also changed depending on where she was performing, with some pointing out that the idol was more energetic in Western countries.
The way you can tell which continent they're performing in based on how much energy Jennie has https://t.co/0sLKZPOYZX

Yet, many netizens hit back at the viral criticism, sharing clips of Jennie performing her heart out and how the hate train won’t affect Jennie as the idol has been hit with it her whole career. Others hoped all the hate would lead to positive karma for Jennie as she thrives in her solo activities under her own company. There were also some of the viral clips that netizens pointed out were filmed when Jennie was unwell and how she mentioned health issues in the past.

using this as a drag when jennie was throwing up and sick, having iv drip and still choose to perform but yeah let's blame her for being sick instead. you can obv see she's sick and still does her best to perform even when she's not in her best health https://t.co/zbD0eAswIR

the narrative that jennie doesnt perform her best for the asian audience got to be an april fools joke cos shes literally the only member who sources her solo fits from local asian brands, she learns local asian trends to excite the audience, and she learns local asian sentences

These hate trains don't work on jennie. It's been 8yrs they are trying their best to cancel her but Jennie is still one of the most successful soloist in the kpop industry. Give it up jennie haters. It's time you should focus on your fav look they're flopping everywhere. pic.twitter.com/3a6bwwgzYY
