Jennie posed with some pizzas and took shots in front of the shop.
Yet, it was Jennie’s photos holding a cup with the Coca-Cola logo that gained criticism.
Coca-Cola is not listed on the Boycott, Divestment & Sanctions (BDS) Movement’s official boycott list. However, Coca-Cola has been named a boycott target by many due the company’s involvement in the ongoing human rights violations taking place in the Gaza Strip against Palestinians.
