[theqoo] JENNIE'S APOLOGY FOR INDOORS SMOKING RECEIVES ATTENTION FROM FOREIGN MEDIA... "THEY DON'T TOLERATE EVEN MISTAKES FROM KOREAN CELEBRITIES"

On the 10th, local time, CNN reported that a video of Jennie smoking near the stylist's face was released, and the agency eventually apologized.

They then pointed out that “K-pop stars are subject to tremendous public scrutiny.”

They also mentioned that aespa Karina apologized to her fans when her relationship with actor Lee Jae-wook became known last March.

The BBC pointed out, "Korean celebrities are accustomed to this kind of intense wrath," and added, "Korea requires K-pop stars to adhere to strict moral and behavioral standards and does not tolerate any mistakes." At the same time, they added that indoor smoking is illegal in Korea and carries a fine of up to 100,000 won.

Hong Kong's South China Morning Post (SCMP) reported, "Korean stars undergo rigorous training for several years before their debut, and must adhere to high standards of behavior during the early stages of their debut, including most bans on smoking, dating, and swearing."
