BLACKPINKs Jennie cries, shakes, and screams for help in amazing Hot Ones appearance

Jennie has become the third BLACKPINK member to take on the Hot Ones challenge, the K-pop idol sitting down with host Sean Evans to endure a spicy tasting menu of hot sauces. The result is almost 23 minutes of screaming and crying, with Jennie delivering one of the most dramatic and entertaining Hot Ones episodes yet.

The situation did not bode well for the singer from the outset, when she admitted that she doesn’t like spicy food and doesn’t eat it in her daily life. Even so, Jennie was determined to maintain her composure.

“I’m gonna try my best and keep my calm,” said Jennie. “I’m not gonna overreact over spice.”

“I like that you’re making this claim on wing two,” Evans noted.

Despite her resolve, Jennie’s composure began to crack at the fourth sauce, stating that the Serrano Mango Hopp Sauce was “kicking [her] tongue.” However the interview completely unravelled as soon as she reached the infamous Da Bomb Beyond Insanity. The K-pop idol swiftly left her chair, pacing, screaming, crying, and literally shaking due to the heat.

“I’m in pain!” Jennie said in between screams and bites of ice cream. “I can’t speak! Guys, I can’t hear any more! God, help me!”

Evans pushed forward with the interview, asking Jennie for cooking tips and fun facts about capybaras. Though she made valiant attempts respond, the vast majority of her attention was understandably focused on the overwhelming pain in her mouth.

“Where am I?” Jennie exclaimed. “Send me home! I want to go home! I’m having trouble understanding English right now!”

Jennie did ultimately complete the Hot Ones gauntlet, bravely pushing through to try all 10 hot sauces like her fellow BLACKPINK members Lisa and Rosé. Though her answers were probably less coherent than she would have liked, with Jennie even too distracted to promote her new album, the idol’s Hot Wings appearance was certainly fun to watch.

“I’m giving you nothing here,” said Jennie. “I’m giving you tears and screams.”
