Fans and netizens discover the real reason behind BLACKPINK Jennie's 'lazy performances'  ||  KV

The real reason why Jennie is seen 'slacking' and 'performing lazily' several times finally comes to light. 

An anonymous user/netizen takes it on a Korean forum called 'Pann' to share to the many netizens of the platform about the real reason why Jennie had been seen performing on stage 'lazily' on multiple occasions. 

The post revealed that on the same day BLACKPINK was supposed to make their debut stage on Inkigayo, Jennie had unfortunately bruised and injured her ankle real bad, that she had to be rushed to a nearby hospital. Even though Jennie was supposed to stay in the hospital to get some rest and be treated for her attained injuries, she actually decided to rush back to the Inkigayo building, just take some painkillers, and still push through to complete her group's debut stage recording. 

Ever since then, Jennie had injured her ankle multiple times in her group concerts, airports, and other activities, yet even so, she still chose to wear high heels whenever she is on stage performing.

There would be instances where Jennie would be seen stopping for a short while in the middle of their performances, due to the unbearable discomfort and pain that she's enduring for her injured ankle. People and netizens were quick to bash her, and call her names on SNS (lazy, slacking, etc.) without actually knowing that she's suffering from multiple injuries by that time. 

Netizens' Comments: 

~ Hull ㅠㅠ The ankles and the like are painful even if properly treated ㅠㅠ 

~ I hope you don't wear high heels as much as possible..ㅜ 

~ In her Instagram photo uploaded today (Author's Note:/ August 23), she's sporting another half-cast on her ankle

~ Oh my, it would hurt once, but she's been hurt many times... ~ Jennie's fans know that she has weak stamina and her ankles are bad. Even when she fell on a treadmill and injured her ankles again during How You Like That era, it seems like she's still doing the hard parts of choreography Source: pann
