BLACKPINK's Jennie reported to the Korean embassy in Italy for smoking indoors
A South Korean media outlet, My Daily, reported on July 9, 2024, that a netizen has filed a complaint about BLACKPINK’s Jennie to the Korean embassy in Italy. The report stems from a clip of the artist smoking indoors during one of her schedules in the country.
A netizen provided evidence through the news agency Kookmin Shinmun and asked for a thorough investigation of the incident.
On July 8, 2024, BLACKPINK’s Jennie was seen smoking a Jule, which is an electronic cigarette, in one of her vlogs. However, the major problem with the short clip is that she was smoking indoors. While her team was doing her hair and makeup, she could be seen using the e-cigarette and blowing up smoke inside the room. The footage from the vlog has now been deleted, but the clip has already gone viral online.
In South Korea, it is frowned upon to smoke due to their societal standards. However, smoking indoors is illegal and not tolerated in the slightest. Similarly, Italy also has anti-smoking laws and prohibits anyone from smoking inside a room. Previously, NCT’s Haechan was fined by South Korean authorities after he was seen smoking indoors.
