The post quickly drew interest not only from fans but also from online users already discussing Jennie’s birthday celebrations.
Earlier, a video said to be filmed at her birthday party spread across online communities and social media platforms. The footage shows Jennie dancing to music in what appears to be a club-like venue.
The video sparked debate after several women commonly referred to online as “champagne girls” were seen in the background, prompting speculation and mixed reactions. Some viewers also raised safety concerns after sparks from a champagne bottle firework appeared to shoot toward the ceiling in the video.
