Call to probe Blackpink Jennie’s ‘vaping incident’

A NOW-DELETED video showing K-pop megastar Jennie (pic) of Blackpink apparently smoking a vape indoors has sparked online outcry, with South Korea’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs saying that it had received a formal complaint.

In the footage, uploaded as part of a live blog on YouTube for fans but subsequently removed even as copies of it spread across the internet, Jennie appears to exhale vape smoke while a bevvy of hair and make-up artists work closely on her face.
