BLACKPINK's Jennie Hit with Bodyshaming Criticism Over Outfit from the Weeknd Performance, Fans Call Out AI-Edited Photos cover

BLACKPINK’s Jennie has been targeted by a wave of bodyshaming comments over her outfit during a recent surprise performance with The Weeknd.

As posts from the performance circulated online, fans noticed that Jennie was being dragged over her body in a sexy outfit, with the original posts drawing heavy attention before many of the tweets were hidden after the initial post was deleted.

But defenders quickly pushed back on two fronts. First, fans pointed out that the photos being used to criticize Jennie were AI-generated edits, noting details like a mismatched dress print that gave the fakery away. Second, fans turned on a BLACKPINK fan account that had initially shared the edited photos, accusing it of fueling the attacks while refusing to delete the post even as Jennie was being attacked in the replies.

“lilies/armys are so obsessed w jennie’s body while she just gave us one of her best performances with the weeknd, the level of misogyny is disgusting,” one fan wrote. Another added: “The way yall have to use ai and edits to drag her,” calling out the doctored images directly.

No official statement was available from Jennie or her representatives. The episode has once again shown how quickly AI-altered images can be weaponized against idols online, and how fast fans now move to debunk them.
