But the main attraction of the show seemed to be an unreleased song she debuted at the event. As soon as the clips of the performance hit social media, fans went berserk over the risqué lyrics and sexy choreography.

Oh, it’s a secret love affair
I think it’s my love
To do you is so unfair
Beat up, beat upMeet ya, matching panties on the chair
Keep up, only to sell you when I need ya
Free up, beat it till you wanna kick my feet up
I want you to lock it down, lock it down
Don’t just mess… https://t.co/wIzrakPX9R pic.twitter.com/oygVAUbwcF— kenji 𓅓ⴵ (@yk2aii) May 26, 2026

However, the performance video also invited some scathing backlash, especially over the idol’s dancing. Jennie performed the song without any backup dancers, which many found to look awkward. Some also accused Jennie of lip-syncing through the majority of the performance.
Fanwars aside, she’s the most embarrassing idol i ever seen https://t.co/TnVIyPlxxt

Jennie has been a radicalizing figure in the K-Pop industry for a while, with people reacting to her every move at both extremes, and this performance was no exception.
