Although it has been a few days since the initial leak, there has been renewed backlash and demands from netizens for the members to apologize.

On social media, netizens believed the three BLACKPINK members should take responsibility for the past and apologize. In particular, some fans pointed out that Jennie apologized previously for vaping indoors after criticism and believed an apology should be said for saying the n-word.

In particular, while some fans believed the members shouldn’t have to apologize as the videos were leaked and they were young, many hit back at that mentality, explaining that as they have been shared and hurt a lot of fans, they need to address it in some way.

“I would never apologize for something I said years ago” okay well you are not a celebrity with millions of fans
