BLACKPINK's Jennie faced backlash for an Instagram post featuring Coca-Cola, which is currently under a global boycott due to its ties to human rights issues in Gaza. Fans criticized her for promoting the brand during this sensitive time. In response to the criticism, Jennie removed the photos showing the Coca-Cola cup from her post. This marks a rare instance of her editing a post after receiving backlash, as she has previously faced criticism without making changes. Fans reacted positively to her decision to delete the images, though some expressed a desire for her to speak out more on the situation in Gaza. Other K-pop idols have also faced scrutiny for similar issues related to pro-Palestinian boycotts.
