BLACKPINK’s Jennie is once again being dragged into controversy, but this time it’s not over dating rumors or stages—it’s a much darker, more disturbing accusation! A podcast episode from Above The Influence went viral after a guest named Kira and co-host Wootak made unverified claims about female K-pop idols. Kira kicked off the drama by suggesting that idols have secret “arrangements” with rich businessmen. But things escalated when Wootak dropped Jennie’s name in a shocking story.

According to Wootak, he once met a boy at summer camp who was supposedly the son of a BMW heir. He then claimed (without any evidence) that this friend paid to have an encounter with Jennie and even had video proof. Of course, the video has never surfaced, and nothing about this story is confirmed.
After that, fans got furious! The wild claims, lack of evidence, and use of Jennie’s name in such a disturbing context triggered an avalanche of backlash. Social media was flooded with hashtags calling for Jennie’s agency to sue the podcast for defamation and emotional damage. Many argued that using real names in baseless stories is more than just messy—it’s dangerous and spreads false information.
As of now, Jennie and her agency Odd Atelier haven’t issued a response. But with the podcast clip still making rounds and fans expressing their anger, many expect a statement or legal action soon. Until then, BLINKs continue to rally online, reminding the world and these podcasters that fake news and baseless claims are unacceptable.
