Netizens admitted that they had reported Jennie's alleged actions to the Embassy of the Republic of Korea in Italy. Jennie may also violate the law in Italy if she is proven to be smoking indoors.
BLACKPINK's Jennie is currently courting controversy for allegedly smoking electronics/vapes indoors. Discussion arose about whether the idol born in 1996 would receive a penalty/fine if he was proven to be smoking indoors.
In South Korea, there are clear rules prohibiting smoking indoors. However, Jennie was suspected of smoking indoors while in Italy, so it is unlikely that she will receive punishment or fines from the Korean side.
However, Jennie faced demands for punishment because a netizen admitted that he had reported the alleged smoking to the Embassy of the Republic of Korea in Italy. Netizen A stated that the alleged location where Jennie smoked might be on the island of Capri, Italy.
The netizen firmly revealed, "I have requested an investigation through a petition to the Korean Embassy in Italy. I strongly urge a thorough investigation and firm action regarding the smoking incident in Jennie's room."
Netizens also shared screenshots where Jennie was suspected of smoking as complete evidence for complaints to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. If it is later proven that he actually smoked indoors, Jennie could also face punishment from the Italian government.
Since January 2005, Italy has implemented a ban on indoor smoking. Those caught smoking in indoor public places will face a fine of up to 250 euros per cigarette. The fine can double if you smoke in front of pregnant women or children.
On the other hand, fans have actually debated that Jennie might not smoke indoors. Some believe that the device used by the idol is actually a diffuser which is said to contain health benefits and vitamins.
Meanwhile, Jennie also received criticism for exhaling smoke allegedly from her electronic cigarette in front of the make-up artist who was dressing her. Until this news was released, there had been no official statement from the idol's agency. What do you think? (wk/charity)
