'When talent can't make noise': BLACKPINK's Jennie leaves internet divided after flashing on stage during Deadline World Tour
While the tour itself has been drawing rave reviews, Jennie has found herself making headlines for other reasons. During the Seoul leg, she faced criticism online over alleged 'mean girl' behaviour. Now, just days later, a new clip from the LA concert is making waves. In the viral video, Jennie appears to flash the camera mid-performance, and her bold move has now sparked a flurry of reactions online, with fans divided over whether it was playful or inappropriate.
Jennie flashes audiences during DEADLINE World Tour
During a recent stop on the DEADLINE World Tour, Jennie sent the internet into overdrive with a bold onstage moment that fans are still talking about. While performing in Los Angeles, the BLACKPINK rapper was caught on camera briefly unzipping her top to reveal what appeared to be a custom, bikini-style piece with her name emblazoned across it as she belted out her hit number Like Jennie from her maiden album, Ruby. While she was at it, she also channelled a playful reaction. The blink-and-you-miss-it flash wasn't part of the choreo, but it definitely commanded attention.
Jennie's NSFW clip leaves the internet divided
Though the moment lasted only seconds, it quickly went viral on social media, leaving fans divided. Many praised Jennie for her confidence and edgy stage presence, calling it a power move and peak It-girl energy. Others, however, weren't as thrilled, with some netizens criticising the act as unnecessary and NSFW, especially given the younger segment of BLACKPINK's fanbase.
One user wrote, "When talent can't make noise, she desperately does that just to get attention. How pitiful."

Review: In Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi Season 2, Smriti Irani Brings Sanskar To Tackle Trouble
It's perhaps for the first time a cultural phenomenon-cum-show like Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi is returning with most of its principal characters, spelling a new chapter for both the Indian television and the streaming space. So, it is only fitting that the first episode of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi season 2, fronted by Smriti Irani's Tulsi Virani, is titled, "A New Chapter For Tulsi". The much awaited episode, which premiered on Tuesday at 10.30 pm, starts on the morning of Tulsi and Mihir Virani's 38th wedding anniversary. The pilot of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi season 2 honoured its roots by kickstarting how almost every K-drama, a nickname for every show produced by Ekta Kapoor, would back in the early 2000s. Out of its 30-minute runtime, the initial 1.30 minutes featured a Ganapati idol, marking auspicious beginnings, and lots of archival footage of temples across the country. What Remains The Same As the clock struck 10.30 pm, the show's season two arrived in its old slot. This time the title song of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi played not only on Star Plus but also on its sister steamer JioHotstar, keeping up with the new era. Between the title song playing and the archival temple run, the camera focused on the sacred Tulsi plant being watered by Tulsi Virani herself as a conch echoed in the background. Very much like the OG Kyunki, which became a rage 25 years ago, the protagonist Tulsi Virani was not made visible to the audience in one go. The viewer first saw her lips reciting the Gayatri Mantra, then her forehead with the bindi and the sindoor in her hair parting. The focus then went to the Tulsi plant as Tulsi explains the many qualities of the sacred symbol. View this post on Instagram A post shared by StarPlus (@starplus) The moment she says, "Jai Ma Tulsi", the camera pans to reveal Smriti Irani back as Tulsi Virani in flesh and blood. And it was just like the old times. It seems Smriti Irani never stopped being Tulsi Virani. She has got back into the skin of her iconic character like a fish to water. In the first episode, the new show honoured Baa, the fan-favourite grandmother of the Virani family played by the late Sudha Shivpuri, with lots of archival footage and a picture with a chandan ka haar. The moment Tulsi remembers Baa, a marigold flower drops into her puja lota. (Peak Ekta Kapoor soap opera nostalgia) Also back is Ketki Dave as Daksha Chachi, Tulsi's chatterbox of a cousin saas whose favourite catchphrase is Ara-ra. Daksha Chachi is cued into latest gossip though social media. She follows a popular paparazzi on the Internet called Biral Dayani. No points for guessing who it is. Sanskars are the same -- the greeting Jai Shree Krishna is back, so is touching feet of the elders. Even the background score is same as 25 years ago -- the sad, the happy, the nostalgic. Forewarning in a quintessential Ekta Kapoor show in the 2000s was characterised by signs of nature, like windows open suddenly when the wind blows and there's lightning and thunder. It tickles the viewer when Hemant asks his quite well-dressed mother Gayatri, "Maa, aap taiyyaar nahin hui?" Classic Ekta Kapoor show vibes. You get all of that, now in HD, in the season 2 of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. While the promotional material of the show featured Tulsi using a laptop, the first episode restricts her to the family kitchen overseeing prep for her wedding anniversary celebrations. While cooking in the kitchen besides her daughter-in-law Nandini (Gauri Pradhan), Tulsi says, "Baa kehti thi, ghar mein maa, bahu, beti agar khana banaye aur khaane ki khushboo poore ghar mein jaye, tabhi ghar ghar jaisa lagta hai." Twenty-five years later, some things could have changed, no? What's New The doors of Shanti Niketan, the Virani family mansion, open once again with Tulsi inviting the viewer in. The difference, the house is more lavish, telling the audience that the Virani family has become wealthier with time. During the title song, Tulsi introduces the house helps first, something which previously didn't happen. Baa is dead and so is Savita, Tulsi's mother-in-law, played by Apara Mehta. But Savita makes an apperance as a glowing spirit to wish Tulsi on her 38th wedding anniversary. Savita, in her trademark big red bindi and dark kohl-rimmed eyes, faux complains to Tulsi that since there are no complaints or khich-khich between them, Tulsi has soiled the saas-bahu relationship. When Tulsi says, "Aapki bohot yaad aati hain maa", Savita quotes the Kyunki title song, "Ek peedhi aati hai, ek peedhi jaati hai, banti kahani nayi, Kyunki..." And Tulsi, then completes the refrain and the show's name. During the opening credits song, Tulsi looks into the mirror and caresses the wrinkles on her face, telling both herself and the viewer that it has been many years since we all saw her and the actor Smriti Irani, as her popular character, on screen. By the end of the title song, the family looks smaller with three new faces Pari, Angad, and Hrithik from the new generation. It doesn't look like the bhara-poora parivaar of the Viranis. Most of them, including Karan (Hiten Tejwani), Hemant (Shakti Anand), and Gautam, have moved out of Shanti Niketan with their families. What hit different but the same was the comeback of Amar Upadhyay as the OG Mihir Virani, Tulsi's husband. This Mihir is as good as the old one. He is now a business tycoon who goes on a morning walk listening to musiic on his bluetooth earbuds and drinks home-made protein shake prepared by his wife. "You are my best investment," he says to Tulsi when he surprises her with a brand new car as a present on their wedding anniversary. What follows is the archival footage of Mihir and Tulsi in their heyday, glimpses of their first meeting as adults, their wedding, their first pregnancy with Gautam, Mihir's death scene, to his return at Tulsi's remarriage to Anupam Kapadia, and cut to 38 years later as a couple. What's Next Besides Kyunki, kalesh is also back and now her name is Gayatri Chachi, played by Kamalika Guha Thakurta. Gayatri is angry with Mihir and Tulsi for sidelining her son Hemant. She accuses the new-age Ram-Sita of sending other children of the family into vanvaas while the enjoy their raj in this Ayodhya. Meanwhile, the new kids on the block Pari and Angad get into an argument about being "different" from other children in the house. View this post on Instagram A post shared by StarPlus (@starplus) It seems like Gayatri Chachi has been tasked with the responsibility of troubling Tulsi in the new season of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi as she hints that the tussle of paidaish versus parvarish will eventually become a cause of concern for the protagonist.

EXO's Kai is real inspo behind Saja Boys' lead character? Animator spills tea
' Kpop Demon Hunters ' has managed to garner a lot of love and praise from around the world ever since it was released a month ago. The director of the film, as well as the cast members, have been continuously vocal about the inspiration and thought that went behind creating the Saja Boys and HUNTRIX. Recent comments from one of the animators from the film have been going viral. Animator from 'Kpop Demon Hunters' shares his inspo behind lead Jinu While talking about his journey working as an animator for the film 'Kpop Demon Hunters', animator Min Hong revealed he used a reference to create the boy group from the film. As per reports from Hankyung Korea Market, he revealed that the popular song 'Soda Pop' choreography was inspired directly by MONSTA X and SHINee and their dance moves on stage. While talking about creating the girl group and their clothes, the animator shared that the staff used to watch one Korean drama every week in order to get a better sense of what is more in trend and fashion in Korea and to represent everything accurately. According to the report, staff members even visited the country during the production stage in order to get a handle on how to represent everything on screen as authentically as possible. While talking about the success of the film, Min quoted, "I was surprised that 'K-Pop Demon Hunters,' which was a working title, remained the official title. I thought it would be a gift to K-Pop fans, but I didn't know it would become such a hit'. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Simple Morning Habit for a Flatter Belly After 50!

Eun Woo even released a song cover of 'Free' alongside Arden Cho , who voiced the character of Rumi . The animator's comments, however, contrasted this, as he revealed that EXO's Kai was a major influence over Jinu. He shared in his comment that, 'In order to bring to life the facial expressions of Jinwoo, the leader of Saja Boys, we referenced Kai, a member of the idol group EXO, a lot. We created scenes such as popcorn pouring out of the character's eyes so that it would be relatable in the West as well'. Fans react to the revelation As soon as the interview made its way online, fans of the idol started expressing their excitement over the matter. One fan commented, 'The fact everyone and their mothers have claimed this character being inspired by their idol', while another shared, 'love me right literally played when they walked in. anyone who didn't think they were inspired by exo is either a newer kpop stan or an exo anti'.
