BLACKPINK’s Jennie is facing backlash online after a funny “unedited” Coachella video featuring influencer Harry Daniels was deleted from social media, sparking speculation that her team took action and fueling a wave of hateful comments.
The short clip, filmed during Jennie’s recent visit to the Coachella festival as a guest, showed Daniels approaching the singer in his usual style, singing one of her songs while recording her reaction for his followers.
The interaction appeared light and playful, and the video quickly went viral on TikTok and Instagram Reels, garnering millions of views in a short time, according to Koreaboo.
Jennie’s appearance at Coachella
Fans initially praised Jennie’s relaxed vibe at the festival, where she had performed solo the previous year, and many shared the clip as an example of her approachable image off stage.
However, as views increased, the tone in the comments changed, with some social media users posting body shaming comments about Jennie’s appearance, focusing on her feet and body shape captured from the “unedited” angle.
Screenshots circulating online show mocking posts targeting what commenters described as “large” feet, which quickly spread across X and other platforms and overshadowed the video’s original, lighthearted context.
Amid the growing negativity, the clip disappeared from Daniels’ accounts, prompting immediate questions about why it had been removed.
The deletion led to unverified claims that Jennie or her management had pressured the influencer to remove the video because it had not been edited and had become a focal point of bullying.
Some users accused Jennie of being “overly sensitive” or “controlling her image”, framing the removal as evidence that she couldn’t accept candid footage.
Others have linked the incident to a broader pattern of online criticism the star has faced over everything from stage presence to casual interactions with fans, arguing that she has become an easy target for hate.
At the same time, many fans have dismissed the rumors, pointing out that there is no evidence that Jennie or her team have contacted Daniels and noting that neither party has released a statement.
Supporters have pointed out that Jennie herself has posted photos revealing similar details about her appearance, suggesting she is comfortable with her appearance and is unlikely to ask for the video to be removed for this reason.
For now, the circumstances behind the cancellation remain unclear, but the situation has reignited debate over body-shaming, the policing of idols’ images and how quickly speculation can turn into organized online hatred towards K-pop stars, according to the Indian Express.
