Recently, in a moment of interaction with fans, Ahyeon Baby Monster suddenly revealed that she had taken a dance challenge to the song "Like Jennie" by "veteran" Jennie. When asked why he didn't post this video, Baby Monster member just laughed and signaled "secret". Ahyeon's actions received a lot of attention and sparked outrage at YG Entertainment, especially from Jennie and Baby Monster fans.
Many people believe that YG Entertainment intentionally did not allow Ahyeon to post the video to avoid mentioning Jennie - who left the company at the end of 2023 and is currently operating independently of her own company OA (ODD ATELIER). Many opinions accused YG of controlling and restricting artists too much, especially with personal actions such as showing love for their seniors.
On Kpop forums and many international social networking sites, the keywords Ahyeon, Like Jennie and YG all climbed the top of the discussion. Fans believe that if it is the company that intervened to "block" Ahyeon's video, it would not only be an act of disrespect to the artist but also make YG's image more negative in the eyes of the public. Some fans also questioned whether there were still many videos and photos of Baby Monster that were also prevented by YG from being posted.
Currently, YG has not commented on this incident.
Since finishing their individual activities with YG Entertainment, Blackpink members have been active, including Jennie.
The female idol has continuously released highly appreciated products and recently "Like Jennie" with catchy melodies and confident style imbued with personal identity. However, the lyrics in Jennie's products have repeatedly raised suspicions that she was once oppressed at her former management company.
In a song Jennie wrote lyrics with many implied cues about being overwhelmed and overmanaged.
Or like in the song "ExtraL" there is a line: "This for my girls with no sponsors, they got their own fundin". The audience thought that Jennie's rap part aimed to eliminate her former management company for not being good at her and the Blackpink members.
