'Culture difference? Blink Jenny Explains 'Indoor Smoking' Explanation
With the group Black Pink Jenny talking about indoor smoking, controversy continues over his remarks.

Jenny mentioned the controversy over indoor smoking in an interview with the US magazine Harper's Bazaar on the 19th.

Jenny says "If Koreans think they've done something wrong, they're trying to make it up. I understand why (the public) is angry. This is a cultural and historical issue and I can't go against that trend."

Earlier in July, Jenny was shown smoking indoors with an e-cigarette while undergoing makeup through a vlog, and Jenny made more noise by emitting smoke toward the staff's face. Afterwards, Jenny apologized, saying, `I reflect on smoking indoors and causing damage to other staff members, and I also contacted the staff who were on the scene at the time and apologized.'

Internet users rumbled about Jenny's answer. The controversy at the time was that indoor smoking was also an indoor smoking, but above all, Jenny's attitude of smoking in front of the staff was criticized. It was difficult to see it as a controversy that took place from a cultural and historical point of view. There are opinions that the controversy has been reduced and the issue has not been identified, and there are many voices cheering that Jenny respected her fans. Jenny apologized for her actions at the time and settled them, and she made her position without avoiding controversy that could be burdened again.

Meanwhile, Jenny is set to make a solo comeback in October.
