BLACKPINK member Jennie faced a fiery challenge on the popular YouTube show Hot Ones, where guests eat increasingly spicy chicken wings while answering questions. Known for avoiding spicy food, Jennie’s dramatic reactions—from confident smirks to tearful screams—have gone viral. Fans loved her unfiltered responses, especially when the infamous “Da Bomb” sauce left her running around the set in panic.
Jennie started strong, joking that the first few wings were too easy. “I’m honestly kind of disappointed, Sean,” she told host Sean Evans. But her confidence vanished with the eighth wing, coated in Da Bomb Beyond Insanity sauce. She jumped from her seat, crying, shaking, and begging for help while fans cheered her chaotic yet entertaining struggle.
“I can’t speak! Guys, I can’t hear anymore! God, help me!”
The K-pop star tried cooling down with milk and ice cream but kept laughing through the pain. Despite her misery, she finished all 10 wings, joining BLACKPINK members Rosé and Lisa as Hot Ones survivors.
Fans flooded social media with praise for Jennie’s realness. One said, “She’s hilarious without even trying! Probably the best episode I’ve seen so far!” Another added, “Her reaction to Da Bomb is top tier!!” Many admired her determination, especially since she rarely eats spicy food.
Between spicy bites, Jennie talked about her solo album RUBY, inspired by Shakespeare and her personal journey. She also joked that fellow BLACKPINK member Jisoo—who loves spicy food—should try Hot Ones next.
“100%, because she is the one who taught me spicy… She made me eat spicy food with her ever since we were trainees. So, I think [Jisoo] should come on this show.”
Jennie’s episode has become one of the most-watched Hot Ones challenges, proving even K-pop stars can’t handle extreme heat.
