During a recent show, Jennie said, “We’re seeing more phones than your faces,” seemingly implying that fans put their phones down so they can see the fans more. Yet, amid the recent “lazy” allegations, one OP’s tweet went viral as they claimed that Jennie was doing it so they couldn’t “film” the lazy performances.

Yet, while many fans have criticized the idol’s comments, fans defended the idol, explaining that she just wanted those in the crowd to enjoy the show, not just focus on recording.
