BLACKPINK Fans Demand Better Treatment For Jennie, Trend #JennieDeservesBetter

BLINKs are demanding better treatment for BLACKPINK‘s Jennie following a promotional event in Indonesia.

On January 14, BLACKPINK attended #AWESOMELIVE, a livestreamed fan event for Samsung Indonesia. #AWESOMELIVE comes less than a week after Samsung released the CF campaign for the “Galaxy A”, featuring their global endorsement models, BLACKPINK.

Outraged fans claim that Jennie was needlessly exposed to cruel comments from anti-fans that left her visibly upset.

According to these fans, Jennie was on the brink of tears. Many are upset with the hosts for allowing this to happen and for “ignoring” her throughout the event.

Other fans have criticized BLACKPINK’s agency, YG Entertainment, for not doing enough to keep their artists safe from malicious commenters.

I'm really tired of feeling sad and angry about the hate BP and especially Jennie receive, no matter how much we talk we can't stop this shxt, it's YG job to sue haters, but they're doing nothing… #JennieDeservesBetter pic.twitter.com/aSlZi12eJP

To make matters worse, Jennie’s fanbase was reportedly not permitted to organize a celebration for Jennie’s birthday at the event, or sing “Happy Birthday”. The person who won a content at the event was allegedly a Jennie anti-fan.

Samsung lied to us about Jennie birthday project and didn’t allow a Jensoo fanbase holding a birthday celebration for her. Further, the MC purposely excluded her from the interview. Furthermore, her anti won that contest. Are you joking me???? #JennieDeservesBetter
