What’s the 'Like JENNIE' Challenge?

BLACKPINK’s Jennie recently dropped her catchy track "Like JENNIE," sparking a viral dance challenge that has K-Pop idols jumping on board!

Ahyeon’s Surprise Appearance

One standout moment came from BABYMONSTER's Ahyeon, a rookie idol who has been turning heads not just for her talent but also for her striking resemblance to Jennie. Fans were excited to learn she had joined the challenge!

A Fan Interaction That Changed Everything

On April 9, during a cute exchange with a dedicated fan, Ahyeon revealed a video of herself performing the "Like JENNIE" dance. She playfully indicated that it was a little secret by putting her fingers to her lips!

Backlash Against YG Entertainment

However, this joyful moment quickly morphed into controversy. Many netizens voiced their anger towards YG Entertainment, speculating that the company was preventing Ahyeon from sharing her dance video. This situation has ignited conversations about the treatment of idols and their autonomy under YG's management.

Idol Freedom at Stake?

Fans also pointed out that YG appears to be restricting Ahyeon’s ability to engage with her audience fully, stirring concerns about the broader implications for all idols under the label. K-Pop fans generally relish these interactions and creative challenges, but they feel that this freedom is being unfairly stifled in this case.
