Netizens hit back at the discourse that female idols are being targeted, sharing that Jennie is being praised for her actions, while Jungkook was slated globally for the middle finger during the live. Many added that it seems to be a trend that BTS members are the ones facing the most backlash compared to any other idols, regardless of gender.
Mind you Jennie is older than jungkook, this bitch called him cringey 😭😭 using women card for their convenience I'm sure a man is handling that acc. https://t.co/RCBB4p3MRP

Isn’t Jennie a female idol? So why isn’t she receiving the same hate that Jungkook got for giving the middle finger? https://t.co/stVxsI5oXO
