Blackpink member Jennie expressed fatigue after excessive fan influx and some resellers' indiscriminate demands while in Paris, France.
Recently, videos were posted on social media and online communities showing many people crowding around when Jennie appeared on the streets of Paris, demanding autographs and photos.
In response, Jennie, while signing for the crowd, could not hide her fatigue, and Jennie's entourage asked for cooperation, saying, "If we give autographs, will you leave us alone?"
However, among those who claimed to be fans and repeatedly demanded autographs, some appeared to be 'resellers' who buy autographs and resell them for profit, which drew frowns. In response, Jennie asked for understanding directly, saying, "Could I have some time to myself? This situation is becoming too stressful for me." After the disorderly situation continued, Jennie politely declined, saying, "Please keep your promises."
After the news spread, various opinions about artists' rights and fan service circulated online. The majority of internet users argued, "Celebrities are people too; it is rude to invade even their personal time," and "Resellers who use autographs as a way to make money are not fans." However, there were also opinions that "this is part of the fame global stars must endure" and "we should understand the feelings of fans who waited in a distant country."
Meanwhile, Jennie departed for Paris through Incheon International Airport on the 7th to attend the 26 F/W Paris Fashion Week fashion show.
