The third night of 2NE1’s concert in Seoul, South Korea, on September 6th, stirred fans with the appearance of numerous K-biz celebrities, and among the most talked-about were the alleged former couple G-Dragon and BLACKPINK’s Jennie.
However, another unexpected combination has caught the attention of netizens. Particularly, netizens have been discussing a backstage meeting between Jennie and NewJeans after the 2NE1 concert.
According to the shared images, Jennie unexpectedly met NewJeans, who is currently embroiled in a heated conflict with their own agency, HYBE. Netizens even noticed moments where NewJeans members like Hanni, Minji, and Danielle were excited about something Jennie showed them on her phone.
However, this moment sparked much debate among netizens. While some were happy about the unbelievable meeting between Jennie and NewJeans, many were concerned about the backstage interaction.
A portion of Jennie’s fanbase believes their idol should not be close to a group facing such backlash. Some comments even expressed wishes for Jennie to remain distant, hoping no more backstage images would be released.
The reason behind this is that Jennie’s fans do not want their idol to be indirectly affected by NewJeans, especially as the drama surrounding the group seems to see no end. Nevertheless, some fans enjoyed the meeting, stating that Jennie is a “networking queen” and friendly, leading to such a “historic” moment.
Below are some comments from netizens on the Korean forum Instiz and online platform X (formerly Twitter):
- Pretty girls support pretty girls
- Wow, so cute… I like this combination.
- Woah is Danielle touching Jennie’s back? They seem so close
- I just hope it’s a casual interaction amid all this drama…
- Can they not get too close
- Jennie please just adopt them
- It seems that NewJeans are well-liked by people in the industry aside from their shitty company
