Smoking indoors is illegal in Italy, South Korea and various other countries, as well as smoking in undesignated outdoor areas.

The scene, which has been deleted since, showed Jennie holding a dark-coloured device to her lips while getting her hair and makeup done.

Despite the clip being removed, the Rockstar singer has faced criticism from both Korean and international social media users as the video circulates online.

Comments ranged from "Wow, she’s really smoking an e-cigarette right in front of someone else’s face” to "Did she really upload that in her own vlog without editing it out?”

There were those that naturally defended her, saying she’s a ‘grown woman' and ‘free to do what she wants’.

Some online users have put forth theories about what might be happening in the clip.

While some believe the device could be a vape or electronic cigarette, others argue it might be something else entirely, such as a diffuser purported to offer health benefits and vitamins.
