Sean explained, "With 100 million KRW, we can buy 112,000 briquettes, which can help 560 families to stay warm for one month during the cold winter. For some people, briquettes are not a choice but a necessity to survive the winter." He added, "Jennie-ya, thank you for making Korea a little warmer!"

Sean drew attention as he revealed the certificate of sponsorship. The certificate showed that the 100 million KRW was donated under Jennie's real name, Kim Jennie.

It has been lately confirmed that BLACKPINK Jennie purchased a building near Hannam New Town for 20 billion KRW.

On the 11th, according to investment banking (IB) and real estate sources, Jennie bought a building located in Dongbinggo-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul for 20 billion KRW last May and completed the ownership transfer in December of the same year. Since there are no loans recorded on the property, it is assumed that she paid the full amount in cash.

The building, completed in 1970, is located in the northern part of Dongbinggo-dong, an area densely populated with foreign embassies. This specific building was previously used as the Embassy of Iraq in South Korea. It is reported that the property has now been vacated. The land area is 595㎡, with a total floor area of 551.08㎡, consisting of one basement level and two above-ground floors. The price per pyeong is approximately 111 million won.

The Dongbinggo-dong area chosen by Jennie is seeing active development alongside the nearby Hannam New Town redevelopment project and the creation of Yongsan Park. Redevelopment of Hannam District 5 is already moving forward the south. Also, the former U.S. military transportation site is being developed into a luxury residential complex. Along with the UN Command site under development and the Camp Kim site planned for development, is is considered as one of the three major returned U.S. military sites.

Meanwhile, Jennie, who is actively promoting both as a group member and a solo artist, is being labeled 'young and rich; for her bold real estate investments. Last year, she reportedly rented an entire new building in Hannam-dong as the headquarters for her one-person agency, 'ODD ATELIER (OA),' with monthly rent reported to be over 60 million KRW. In 2023, she also purchased a luxury villa in UN Village for 5 billion KRW entirely in cash.

On the 28th, Rosé appeared on the popular U.S. podcast 'Call Her Daddy,' where she talked about many different topics.

During the show, the story about Rosé's secret dating life drew attention.

When asked, "You have never been in a public relationship. Are you trying to protect your partner's privacy?" Rosé answered, "It's about wanting to protect the person I love. It hurts my heart when the person I love gets attacked."

She continued, "I'm okay. I'm in the public eye, and that's part of my job. It can't be helped." However, she added, "If I could fully trust that the media would protect me, I might feel comfortable with a public relationship. But right now, I don't know if I can feel safe."

Rosé also recalled disguising herself to avoid being caught by the paparazzi. She said, "I can never be seen like, you know, ever. I bought a wig from an online store, studied how elderly women would dress, and I would go on date looking like an older woman." She revealed that she lived this way for about 6 months.

Specifically, when asked, "Are you currently seeing anyone right now?" She shared, "Just being asked that question makes me nervous. I immediately think about what kinds of articles will come out because of this comment." She added, "I'm afraid that saying 'yes' or 'no' will end up defining my entire life."

Meanwhile, Rosé broke records on music charts worldwide with 'APT.' with Bruno Mars, released in October last year. She also became the first K-pop artis to win the 'Song of the Year' award at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards. Additionally, she also became the first K-pop artist to be nominated for 'Song of the Year' and 'Record of the Year' at the Grammy Awards.

BLACKPINK's Jennie attended the debut show of Chanel's new designer

 

theqoo

-I saw a video of her on Instagram before this. Her hairstyle and makeup didn't suit her, but you know... I guess you just can't be perfect every time.

-The outfit looks very plain. It doesn't look like Chanel at all.

-Emo Jennie...

-I don't know much about fashion, but is the pajama-style look a luxury trend this year??

-The makeup looks so freaking weird... Jennie looks beautiful, though.

-She looks so f*cking pretty. It suits her really well, though?? I think she's going with the messy girl look here.

-I personally think she looks so f*cking prettyㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Did Chanel get a new designer this time? The whole collection looks off this time...

-Oh... This kind of style is coming back again.

-Why is she wearing a pajama?

-Huh... This can't be the best her team could do. Why did they style such a beautiful person like that...?

-The outfit's nice, but I think she would've looked way prettier if she had her usual hairstyle.

-Is pajama style trending now? Rosé wore something that looked like that too.

-I'm not a fan of this look... Give us the pretty Jennie back.

Outfits worn by 4 BLACKPINK members for Paris Fashion Week

 

Rosé - YSL

Lisa - Louis Vuitton

Jisoo - Dior

Jennie - Chanel

theqoo

-Lisa's outfit this time is insane. Honestly, Jennie's outfit made me go 'Huh??' at first, but the longer I look, the better it seems.

-None of the outfits were great.. Lisa pulled hers off the best, though.

-Lisa looked the prettiest this time.

-Lisa suited this look perfectly, from her hairstyle down to her outfits.

-They all looked strange except for Lisa.

-Lisa looks like a princess.

-I like Rosé's the best. She's so pretty.

-How did they manage to have all 4 members be ambassadors for YSL, LV, Dior, and Chanel...?

-If Jennie had just changed her hairstyle, it wouldn't have looked so much like lingerie. Or maybe that was intentional?

-They all looked strange, except for Lisa. Why did their stylists give them those outfits? Their hairstyles and makeup weren't great either.

-Jennie actually looked pretty in the video. The smokey makeup really suited her.

-Everyone except Lisa looked strange. They either look like a waiter or look like in their underwear.

-Lisa was the best dressed and Jennie was the worst dressedㅠㅠ

-Why did they make Jisoo look like that?ㅠㅠ

-Lisa totally looks like a Barbie doll.

Elle UK took down the picture that caused racism controversy and posted a separate dedicated post for Roséㅋㅋ

 

So annoyingㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

At first, they just posted about Rosé's outfit without saying anything, but since they kept getting bashed, they edited the post and added an apologyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ + An Instagram story belowㅋㅋ

(It seems like they took an action because British new outlets published articles calling Elle UK racist. I took this screenshot, it was posted about an hour ago in UK time)

theqoo

-Trash bastards.

-So disgusting.

-As expected, the Japan of Europe.

-I can't help but keep thinking 'What the heck is wrong with them?'

-So uneducated. What an unprofessional fashion magazineㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Live your life with an empty brain forever~

-So, basically they admitted that they were being racist?

-So freaking annoyingㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Even the fact that they posted their apology on Instagram story is so freaking annoyingㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ It'll be gone in a day anywayㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-This is why you absolutely must fight racism.

-Go flop.

-They're pulling the "didn't mean to offend" crap. Legendary gaslighting.

-I was shocked while reading because they used the phrase "the full spectrum of our audience," which basically frames the people who raised the issue as being overly dramatic and nitpickers.

-Even the apology itself is racist.

Charli XCX's Instagram flooded with hate comments because of her photo with Rosé

 

Because she posted a photo where only Rosé was heavily shadowed. People are debating whether she purposely did it to discriminate and outcast her or not.

The comment section is pure chaos.

What do you guys think...?

Since some people question if Charli XCX's Instagram was really being flooded with hate comments or not, I'm posting more screenshots here.

I don't know if 'flooded' is the right word, but some people are definitely going wild.

She also posted this photo on her Instagram Story.

theqoo

-Kpop fans are basically pro at flooding someone's Instagram account with hate comments.

-The fact that she chose that photo means that she didn't care. She should've cropped it instead.

-Even if she had no intention to be racist, that photo is definitely shady...

-I don't know if it was intentional, but I wonder why she had to post that one...

-That looks like racism to me... Why would sheh specifically select and post a photo like that?

-She should've cropped Rosé out of that picture. What the heck is that?

-It certainly seems like something that deserves getting hate for.

-Charli is of Indian descent. Why would she be racist?

-I'm sure she would still get hate even if she had cropped Rosé out of that picture...

-People are so naive for thinking thaht she wouldn't be racist just because she's of Indian descent...ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I mean... What is that? Are there no other photos she can post?? I doubt that.

-People who think she didn't intend to be racist are the weird ones here. I mean, she could've just cropped Rosé out of the picture.

-Apparently, Charli did repost another picture of her with Rosé on Instagram story. But to me, it seems like she just did that because she's in the picture... Anyway, I don't like that photo. Do they not have mutual friends? I thought they have some.

-Honestly, that photo seems perfect to be used as the perfect example of subtle racial discrimination.

Elle UK Instagram account under fire for alleged racial discriminiation against Rosé

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by ELLE UK (@elleuk)

Only Hailey Bieber, Zoë Kravitz, and Charli XCX were seen in the picture.

This is the original picture.

These celebrities attended the YSL Fashion Week event, but only Rosé was cropped out from the picture.

What's even more ridiculous is the fact that Rosé is the only YSL ambassador among those four people.

theqoo

-That's f*cking racist.

-This is so absurd. Why did they crop her out?

-I'm so f*cking offended.

-Just UK being UK.

-They cropped out the ambassador??

-If Zendaya (Just a random Western celeb I could think of now) was in Rosé's spot, would they have cropped her out as well? This is clearly racial discrimination. UK seems to be truly racist, especially towards successful Asians. If an Asian dresses up nicely, they'd judge them for being 'out of place.' However, if an Asian dresses poorly, they'd treat them nicely while saying, 'Oh... Poor Asian~'

-Hulㅋㅋ Why do Western people think they're the superior race?

-I mean... Even a fan would get bashed for cropping out an idol from a picture, let alone an official account...? F*ck this.

-This is 100% racism.

-Rosé has a New Zealand citizenship, making her a Commonwealth citizen. But they still cropped her out because she's Asianㅋㅋ

-Whoa... That's so mean.

-Shady bastards...

-Elle UK? I'm gonna leave comments like 'Racist!!!' 'Disgusting!!!!' on their page.
