One fan voiced concern about Jennie's wellbeing, suggesting, "If Jennie is truly unwell, she should take time off and recuperate. Health should always come first.
There's no harm in stepping back momentarily to ensure she's in peak condition, rather than dragging down the group's reputation."
Another echoed similar sentiments, mentioning, "We've witnessed Jennie's lackluster performances more than once, which wasn't the case when BLACKPINK first rose to fame two years ago.
This paddling controversy has been brewing for a while, but it appears to have intensified recently."
Other fans began to question if Jennie's recent hiking trip had any effect on her performance.
One queried, "Did Jennie's mountain excursion the previous day leave her too exhausted for a top-notch performance?"
Public Concern or Unfair Criticism?
Jennie's on-stage behavior has been a hotly discussed topic in China recently, as some netizens have begun highlighting an apparent decrease in her on-stage energy and passion.

One fan sarcastically commented, "I suppose her mountain climbing adventure the day before left her too fatigued to perform the next day?"
An additional commenter playfully suggested, "Perhaps Jennie, you should consider leaving the group and pursue a career in sandwich biscuit commercials..."
This wave of criticism follows a concert where Jennie seemed to be less than fully engaged in her performance, despite appearing healthy and energetic during a mountain climbing excursion the day prior.
This contrast especially struck a nerve among fans who felt let down by Jennie's lackluster performance, especially since she was once one of their favorite members.
