YG Entertainment has officially responded to concerns regarding BLACKPINK Jennie’s latest Instagram post. On April 14, Jennie posted a picture on her private account a few pictures of herself at an arboretum in the city of Paju, along with the caption “An outing.”
One of the photos depicted the hands of seven people holding ice cream. The picture caused a controversy among netizens as many speculated that she might have violated South Korea’s current ban on private gatherings of five or more people. After the post drew criticism online, Jennie deleted the photo in question. Today, YG Entertainment addressed the controversy by officially clarifying that Jennie had been at the arboretum for work and not for any kind of social gathering. A representative of the agency officially stated, “Jennie went to the arboretum to film content for a video.”
