A short video from BLACKPINK’s recent concert has sparked another heated debate about Jennie’s performance style. The clip shows her briefly stopping during the group’s hit song “DDU-DU DDU-DU,” leading some fans to accuse her of “lazy dancing.” However, many supporters argue the moment was taken out of context, pointing to possible technical difficulties. Meanwhile, Rosé’s reaction to the situation has also gone viral, adding another layer to the discussion.
Jennie’s Viral Performance Clip Reignites “Lazy Dancing” Debate
The video, originally shared on X (formerly Twitter), captures Jennie pausing mid-performance. Some critics quickly labeled it as another example of her allegedly lacking energy on stage. This isn’t the first time Jennie has faced such accusations—past performances have also been scrutinized for similar reasons.
However, fans rushed to defend her, suggesting she may have been dealing with equipment problems. Many pointed out that in-ear monitors (which help singers hear the music) or microphone packs can malfunction, requiring quick adjustments.
“Hey so as someone who was actually at the concert, this was taken out of context to purposely make Jennie look bad.”
Others argued that even experienced performers like Jennie can face unexpected issues during live shows.
Rosé’s Confused Reaction Becomes a Focal Point
While the debate over Jennie’s performance continued, fans noticed Rosé’s reaction in the same clip. The BLACKPINK vocalist was seen turning around multiple times, looking at Jennie with a puzzled expression. Some fans found her reaction amusing, while others believed she was checking on Jennie to ensure everything was okay.

This moment added a lighter tone to the controversy, with many fans sharing memes and jokes about Rosé’s expression.
Mixed Reactions From Netizens
The online discussion has been divided. Some critics argue that Jennie, as a seasoned performer, should handle technical issues more smoothly. Others believe the criticism is unfair, emphasizing that live performances come with unpredictable challenges.
“Only in K-pop can stopping for a second to adjust your IEM, the very tool that allows you to sing live, be twisted into ‘laziness.’ It just proves how little they understand about professionalism.”
Meanwhile, supporters shared clips of Jennie performing energetically in other parts of the concert, arguing that the viral moment doesn’t reflect her overall effort.
Past Controversies Resurface
This incident has also brought up past controversies surrounding Jennie, including previous accusations of “lazy dancing” and debates about her stage presence. Some fans believe she is unfairly targeted, while critics insist on holding idols to high performance standards.
Despite the backlash, Jennie remains one of the most popular members of BLACKPINK, with a strong solo career. The group continues its world tour, with upcoming stops in major cities like Paris, London, and Tokyo.
