She was smoking an electronic cigarette.
BLACKPINK‘s Jennie was recently caught smoking an electronic cigarette indoors. Fans spotted her with a vape or electronic cigarette in one of her vlogs. She was seen holding a dark-colored device to her lips as she got her hair and makeup done.
In the next frame, she breathes out smoke.
The scene has since been removed from her vlog.
While she is an adult and therefore, it is not illegal for her to be smoking, many pointed out that she was smoking indoors. Smoking indoors in South Korea and many other countries is often prohibited. Even in Capri, Italy, where she was, the law strictly prohibits people from smoking in enclosed spaces. Not only this, but netizens criticized her for doing so right in front of her staff.
The law doesn’t take lightly to smoking indoors, be it electronic or not. Previously, NCT‘s Haechan was slammed with a fine from officials after he was caught smoking a vape indoors in South Korea.
