Being a female idol in the K-pop world is no easy feat. Every move they make faces heavy scrutiny and judgement. BLACKPINK’s Jennie is one such artist who is constantly under the public eye. Her actions, style, and choices always spark discussions. Once again, this happened after the 2026 Met Gala after-party and it has left netizens divided. Read on to know all about it.
K-pop Group BLACKPINK’s Jennie Criticised For Her Behaviour At Met Gala Afterparty
Jennie went to an after-party at a New York club right after the 2026 Met Gala. A short video from the party was shared on the internet. In the video, she was seen dancing and having fun with others. Soon, many people started criticising her. Some said her energy looked too much, and others linked it to past comments about her energy at concerts. A few even called her attention-seeking and said she was trying to be the centre of everything.
However, this criticism seems totally unfair and nonsense. Just because she is a public figure does not mean she cannot enjoy herself, relax, or have fun. Jennie, like any other person, deserves to unwind and celebrate after a long night.
Parties are meant for dancing, laughing, and letting loose. Jennie was simply enjoying herself with friends. Expecting idols to act in a certain manner all the time puts too much pressure on them. A woman having a good time should not create such a big debate.

She completed the look with elegant jewellery that added extra sparkle and made her shine.
