A disturbing old rumor about “yachting” – a term used to describe wealthy individuals who pay celebrities for private encounters on luxury yachts – has resurfaced online, with some users speculating that BLACKPINK Jennie was among those named in a blind article.
In recent weeks, the term “yachting” has been trending on social media after several posts accused prominent figures, including American rapper Saweetie, of being “Yachters”. The term no longer refers to pleasure travel at sea, but rather to a controversial world of celebrity escorting and secretive power dynamics involving high-profile entertainers and elite clients.
Among these discussions, videos and forum posts resurfaced, revisited in a June article published by the well-known gossip site Crazy days and nightsknown for exposing supposed secrets of Hollywood and global entertainment. The post implied that she was a member of a “two-tone” girl group – a hint that many netizens took to mean BLACKPINK – was involved in “yachting”. Comments quickly pointed to Jennie, though no evidence ever supported the claim.
At the time, online reactions were sharply divided. Many fans condemned the speculation as an unfounded slander, while some users tried to rationalize the rumor by mentioning “intern debt” or “industry pressure.” However, most agreed that the blind article, like many others on the site, was based on vague innuendo rather than fact.
While Crazy days and nights gained notoriety for occasionally posting holes that later turned out to be true, he was also widely criticized for promoting unverified and invasive gossip. To date, there is no credible evidence or statements linking Jennie to any such activities.
The rumor remains one of many unfounded stories surrounding BLACKPINK‘s — a reflection of the intense scrutiny faced by K-pop stars who command both global fame and online speculation.
