BLACKPINK members Jennie and Rosé have recently become the subjects of severe online harassment. The two idols are facing inappropriate comments and unfounded accusations on social media, specifically through hashtags such as “JennieChallenge” and “RoséChallenge.”
Background on the Harassment
The harassment stems from a backlash against the “SugaChallenge,” a viral trend that allegedly encouraged fans to engage in risky behaviors while driving. This challenge reportedly originated from a BLACKPINK fan with the intent to provoke BTS fans and their member Suga. In response, certain fan accounts created hashtags targeting Jennie and Rosé.
Details of the Harassment
Rosé: She has been falsely accused of drug use, linked to an old photo where she was allegedly seen near a table with drugs. This rumor, which surfaced last year, was quickly debunked. YG Entertainment had previously announced plans to take legal action against those spreading these false claims.
Jennie: She has been subjected to disturbing posts, including sexually suggestive content and edited images designed to shame her. Additionally, a private picture of Jennie, leaked last year due to cloud hacking, has been circulated maliciously.

“Honestly, their outrageous behavior isn’t new. I’m not even a BLACKPINK fan, but I’ve seen it so much that I’m fed up. It seriously makes me sick.” “What’s wrong with them…?” “No, seriously, what’s wrong with them? They must have really gone crazy.” “Are all i-roaches just lunatics gathered together?”
