When the video was shared, Jennie received a lot of praise from netizens because she was following the rules and customs of visiting a mosque by wearing a hijab to respect the culture. BLINKs also defended Jennie from any comments, explaining that the idol wore the hijab to respect the Islamic culture.

Why is that so hard to understand that jennie didn't wore hijab for aesthetic she wore hijab to RESPECT islam 😭

Yet, it isn’t the first time BLACKPINK has gained attention for their respectful behavior when in another country. When BLACKPINK performed in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the members gained attention for adapting their outfits to be more modest to respect the country’s rules.
