Can a birthday bash go too far? BLACKPINK's Jennie has found herself at the center of a safety debate following footage from her birthday celebration in Japan on January 17, 2026.
Jennie Japan Birthday Party: Sparking Safety Concerns
According to reports from Koreaboo, a video shared on Instagram shows champagne bottles being served with active indoor sparklers. The sparks were seen shooting close to the club's ceiling while people danced nearby. While such services are common in high-end nightlife venues in Japan and Europe, Korean netizens have expressed alarm over the potential fire hazard, citing the dangers of pyrotechnics in crowded, enclosed spaces.
A Clash of Cultural Norms vs. Safety Standards
The backlash highlights a recurring tension between local entertainment cultures and the high ethical standards K-pop idols are held to globally. Some fans defend Jennie, stating she was merely a guest receiving a service provided by the venue. However, critics argue that as a global icon with a massive platform, her presence in settings that overlook basic safety protocols could set a poor example.
