A past interview clip of BLACKPINK’s Jennie has gone viral, but not for the right reasons. Netizens are accusing the idol of being “lazy,” taking her words out of context to fuel an unfair narrative. However, fans quickly came to her defense, offering the full story behind the video.

The viral clip shows Jennie casually saying, “I get super lazy,” which was then misinterpreted by some netizens as a sign of poor work ethic or lack of dedication. The backlash sparked a wave of criticism online, with people accusing her of being unprofessional.

But those who have seen the entire interview know the truth tells a very different story. The clip was originally from Jennie’s appearance on Audacy Music, where she spoke candidly about her creative process, her reliance on notes and journaling, and how even small, seemingly unimportant memories can turn into powerful artistic inspiration.

“I didn’t realize that the things I’ve written in my notes are going to be a part of this album. I wrote something probably like years ago feeling stupid and I look back like, ‘Oh, I remember the time I did this,’ and then it becomes one of your art, the whole circle.”

When the topic shifted to to-do lists, Jennie simply shared a relatable and human moment:

“Yes and no. I get super lazy when I am working a lot so these days, I’m not a to-do person and I don’t keep lists, I don’t want to know what I have to do on the day.”

Her words were a reflection of burnout and mental fatigue—something many people can relate to, especially those under constant pressure. Fans pointed out that the interview wasn’t about laziness, but rather a thoughtful discussion on how Jennie balances creativity with the demands of her hectic schedule.

Jennie, known for her dedication on and off stage, has always been open about her need for mental clarity and wellness amidst a demanding industry. This moment, like many others, showcases her honesty—not a lack of work ethic.

As the clip continues to circulate, fans remain steadfast in their support, calling for more contextual understanding and less targeted hate toward idols who speak candidly.
