TWICE Jeongyeon’s Viral Reaction To Unexpected Fan Gift Sparks Mixed Responses
TWICE’s Jeongyeon is getting a lot of attention online after a message she sent about a recent fan gift she received sparked debate online.
At the airport, a fan gave Jeongyeon a “Labubu” doll — a popular collectible figure that has gone viral recently, but one that’s also deemed overpriced. She accepted the gift and carried it with her as she left. But later, on the fan communication platform Bubble, Jeongyeon shared her honest thoughts.

Jeongyeon: “I’m not interested in dolls.”
Jeongyeon: “Don’t fall for trends”
Her messages quickly spread across social media, and the response went viral within hours. Some fans praised her blunt honesty, even going as far as to call her “anti-capitalist” and “anti-consumerist” due to her stance on such trends. Others said they respected that she didn’t pretend to like something just because it was trendy or expected.

I love people who don't sugarcoat things just to fit in the society's narrative. What they dislike, they dislike. https://t.co/BQNoZmhDte

However, some international fans have also criticised the TWICE star. Some felt her response was rude, especially since it came after a fan gave her something with care. Several users said they would feel hurt if they were the fan who gave the doll. Others even claimed the response to her reaction would be ruthless had another idol said the same words.
Ok buts that’s honestly kinda sad if I was the fan I would had felt bad 💀

AS the debate among fans continues, it’s clear Jeongyeon’s reaction has divided fans. While some appreciate her straightforwardness, others think there’s better and softer ways to express her disinterest in a fan gift, without dismissing the effort behind it.
