Why are BLINKs trending ‘Latto apologise to Jennie’?
Something surprising happened that got K-pop fans talking. Latto’s Instagram story ended up grabbing the interest of people online, unintentionally adding to the existing discussion about BLACKPINK’s Jennie. It all started when Jennie was facing backlash for listening to a song called “Bad Religion” by Frank Ocean. This song was considered disrespectful to the Muslim community, and that’s what sparked the controversy in the first place.
As people talked more and more about Jennie’s choice of song, a hashtag started trending on Twitter: “JENNIE APOLOGIZE TO MUSLIMS.” In a twist, Latto unintentionally got involved by posting a screenshot of her own name trending. She was actually trying to draw attention to her upcoming song release. However, what really got the attention of BLINKs (BLACKPINK fans) were the hashtags next to Latto’s name. These hashtags sparked new conversations and brought back the ongoing discussion about whether Jennie’s actions were disrespectful to the Muslim community.
“LATTO APOLOGIZE TO JENNIE” trends
A new trend started going around: “LATTO APOLOGIZE TO JENNIE.” This trend came about because of Latto getting caught up in the controversy, even though she didn’t mean to.

On the other hand, some fans realized that Latto might not have known about the whole controversy happening around Jennie.
