Seungri’s Creepy Post to Jennie Resurfaces: Scandal Brewing Before Burning Sun?

A 2018 Instagram post by former BIGBANG member Seungri has resurfaced, sparking heated reactions online. The post, shared just before BLACKPINK’s Jennie made her solo debut with SOLO, has left netizens uneasy due to its tone and timing.

Seungri’s message was meant to support Jennie’s solo debut but came across as unsettling to many. He wrote:

"Jennie, is there anything Oppa can help you with? Let me know anytime. Oppa has some ties from @chanelofficial. If you ever need them, let me know. You can even use them as a scarf by tying them together. If there’s anything I can help with during your solo promotions, let me know. You don’t reach out to me unless I ask, so #I’mUpset (said with a cute tone)."

The post received backlash for its patronizing tone, particularly because Jennie was already a Chanel ambassador at the time and didn’t need such “support.” Many netizens found the comment about Chanel scarves unnecessary and odd, considering her established relationship with the luxury brand.

Netizens React to the Creepy Tone

After the post resurfaced, fans and social media users were quick to express their discomfort. Comments like “Ew, fck”* and “Protect Jennie!!!” began flooding platforms where the post was discussed. Some found the post not only patronizing but also inappropriate, given Jennie’s professional status.

The unease deepened due to the timing of the post, which came just two months before the infamous Burning Sun scandal broke out. Seungri was at the center of this scandal, which involved allegations of illegal activities linked to a nightclub. This connection has added an eerie layer to the resurfaced Instagram post.

The Timing Raises Questions

The resurfacing of this post has reopened discussions about Seungri’s behavior and public image during that time. Some fans argue that the post, on its own, might not have seemed suspicious if not for the subsequent scandal. However, others feel the post reflects a pattern of questionable interactions, which now stand in a darker light.

Public Concern for Jennie

Fans have voiced concerns for Jennie, calling for more protection for the BLACKPINK star. Many have noted that her professionalism and success have often been overshadowed by unsolicited comments or controversies involving other figures in the industry.

While the post is over five years old, its recent circulation has reignited discussions about respect and boundaries in the entertainment industry.
