According to Allkpop, on March 9, an Instagram account shared a video of fans surrounding Jennie in Paris. In the clip, Jennie moves among a crowd of people. Some people asked about her experience in Paris, others cheered that Chanel's outfit was very suitable for the female singer. However, many people stood blocking in front, approaching and constantly shouting loudly to attract attention, causing the Blackpink female member's path to be obstructed.
Faced with this situation, Jennie Blackpink's manager spoke up to ask the crowd to cooperate: "If she signs autographs, please leave us alone afterwards." Jennie also politely expressed her desire to be understood: "Can I have some time for myself today?". The female singer added that being surrounded like this made her feel "very stressed".
After that, Jennie still signed autographs for some fans, but she wanted everyone to "hold their promise" after signing. When the case of asking for another autograph even though she had received it before, the female singer's manager refused. Jennie also refused some photo requests.
The video divided fans into 2 factions. One group criticized Jennie's attitude, saying that artists need to "respect fans". However, on the contrary, a large number of viewers spoke out in defense of Jennie and emphasized that the privacy and safety of artists should be respected. Many opinions also suspected that some people asking for autographs were not fans of the female idol but just wanted to ask for her autographs to resell at a high price.
