While her set was praised among Korean fans, international netizens piled heavy criticism on Jennie. In particular, many questioned her stamina after noticing she appeared out of breath early into her performance.

Now, however, footage from the end of the performance is painting a different picture. In the clip, which has since gone viral on X, two of Jennie’s male backup dancers can be seen visibly struggling with exhaustion. Both were gasping for air, while one appeared to have difficulty standing upright.

Given that Jennie was both singing and dancing throughout the performance with no breaks, many fans say that the professional dancers’ own breathlessness puts Jennie’s difficulties into perspective.

Fans have also noted that certain sections featured only female dancers, meaning the male dancers in the footage had brief rest periods while Jennie powered through without stopping.

Jennie also appeared to have difficulty breathing offstage too, prompting many fans to share concerns about the star’s possible “anxiety.”
