The internet can be a fun place, but it can also turn very mean very quickly. BLACKPINK member Jennie found herself at the center of a digital storm this week. A lighthearted video of her enjoying the Coachella 2026 music festival went viral for all the wrong reasons. What started as a funny clip between the K-pop star and a popular content creator turned into a wave of body-shaming comments.
The situation escalated when the video mysteriously disappeared from the internet. Now, accusations are flying that Jennie’s team forced the creator to delete the footage because they didn’t like the “unedited” look of her feet. Here is the breakdown of what really happened.
The Viral Video and the Sudden Deletion
The drama began on April 13, 2026. Jennie was attending the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival as a guest. TikTok influencer Harry Daniels approached her. He is known for his specific style of content: singing celebrities’ own songs directly back to them in an awkward or funny way.
In the clip, Daniels sang to Jennie. She smiled, danced a little, and gave him a hug at the end. It seemed like a normal, friendly meeting between a fan and an idol. The video blew up quickly, racking up millions of views on TikTok and Instagram Reels.
However, the mood in the comment section quickly turned nasty. Instead of focusing on the interaction, many users began zooming in on Jennie’s appearance. Specifically, they started mocking her feet. Because the camera was using a wide-angle lens from a low angle, her feet looked stretched and larger than they are in real life.
Soon after the hate comments piled up, the video vanished from Harry Daniels’ social media pages. That is when things got messy.
Harry Daniels Explains the Request to Remove Footage
For days, fans guessed why the clip was removed. Some thought the influencer did it himself because of the bullying. Others suspected Jennie’s team was responsible.
Harry Daniels finally cleared the air on a recent podcast episode. He revealed that Jennie’s manager did contact him. According to Daniels, the manager asked if the video could be shown to the fashion brand Revolve first for approval. Daniels admitted he said “no” and posted the video anyway because he usually posts what he wants.
But the story did not stop there. He added that about a day after posting, he received another message asking him to take it down. This time, he decided to listen.
“I felt very sad about deleting it. Still, I decided to take it down out of respect. I did not want to cause any trouble between Jennie and Revolve.”

Daniels explained that this is very rare for him. He usually never gets asked to remove content, but he complied this time to maintain the professional relationship between the artist and the brand.
Fans Rally to Defend Jennie
The news of the forced deletion split the internet. Many critics accused Jennie of being “insecure” and unable to handle unedited photos or videos. Some harsh posts called her the “most insecure idol” and mocked her “IDGAF” attitude.
However, BLINKs (BLACKPINK fans) quickly came to her defense, and their arguments are pretty logical. They point out that the “big feet” look was purely a result of camera distortion. A wide-angle lens distorts edges, which is why her feet looked long.
Fans are arguing that the request to delete the video likely had nothing to do with her feet, but rather standard business practice. Since the video was tied to a brand partnership with Revolve, the company might have wanted control over the content associated with their event.
Many supporters also highlighted that Jennie regularly posts photos of herself on Instagram without heavy editing or filters, proving she is not ashamed of her body. They see this as a case of an influencer breaking rules and then playing the victim when asked to follow them.

The Fallout Over Body Shaming
Regardless of who asked for the deletion, the real issue many fans are talking about is the body-shaming. They argue that the focus should not be on whether Jennie overreacted, but on the fact that thousands of people felt comfortable bullying a woman simply for having a specific body part.
This incident shows the double standard female idols face. If they edit their photos, they are fake. If they do not edit them or ask for unflattering angles to be removed, they are insecure. For now, Jennie has not publicly commented on the situation, and the deleted video remains offline.
