The netizen added that Jennie began smoking a bubble pen while her makeup staff was searching for a lip product. Jennie apologized to the staff member multiple times, who said it was fine since she is also a smoker.

The netizen acknowledged that blowing smoke toward the staff could be problematic. However, they felt this incident alone shouldn’t tarnish Jennie’s character.

Despite this defense, many Korean netizens disapproved of Jennie’s actions. They questioned the credibility of the netizen’s account and noted that smoking is banned in all indoor areas in Italy.

Harsh comments included doubts about the netizen’s identity and criticism of Jennie’s staff for defending her. Some called for a ban on indoor smoking, regardless of permission.

Following the incident, Jennie’s agency, ODD ATELIER, issued an apology for her actions.
