🌶️ “This isn’t that spicy…” — Jennie, before Da Bomb.
Jennie kicked off the spicy wing challenge with ease, even boldly saying she was “disappointed” by the heat level. But her confidence quickly vanished when she hit the infamous “Da Bomb” sauce. Her reaction was instant and iconic—Jennie cried, shrieked, got up from her seat, and ran around the set in a spicy panic.
Armed with ice cream and a glass of milk, Jennie powered through the episode, still answering questions and maintaining her signature charm, even through the tears.
💬 Internet Can’t Get Enough:
Fans flooded the internet with reactions and memes after the episode aired:
- “‘I’m gonna try my best and keep my calm’ — and then 10 minutes of full chaos 😂”
- “She’s hilarious without even trying! Probably the best episode I’ve seen so far!”
- “Her reaction to Da Bomb is top tier entertainment.”
- “Jennie was in agony but still finished like a champ. Queen behavior.”
- “I thought she’d tap out by wing #2, but she made it to the end. So proud!”
Another fan summed it up perfectly:
“Funniest Hot Ones episode hands down. Jennie is just built different.”
👑 Spicy but Stylish
Even in the middle of a meltdown, Jennie kept it authentic—fans praised her for being relatable, funny, and brave. She also revealed that fellow BLACKPINK member Jisoo would probably handle the challenge better, saying she’d vouch for her to try the show next.
Whether she’s performing on stage or surviving scorching sauces, Jennie proved once again that she’s Hot Ones royalty—and fans can’t wait to see more.
