Concerns Over Jennie’s Health and Stamina
Although Jennie’s performance was widely praised, it was not without controversy. Fans and social media users on sites such as Reddit and X highlighted instances in the set when Jennie seemed visibly tired. Some viewers saw her struggling to breathe, sparking rumors about her health and endurance.
One fan tweeted, “Like 10 minutes have passed and Jennie is literally out of breath.”. I’m actually thinking seriously that something must be up, like if she’s experiencing an anxiety attack or something, because she actually seems like she’s attempting to breathe and the air just won’t get there. Hope she’s alright.

Jennie Coachella performance was horrible no outfit changes lip singing throughout almost all of her songs she has no stamina out of breath and tired and it’s only been two minutes, the stage design/concept/setlist/audio/lighting is messy Everything is all over the place
