Jennie, a member of the girl group BLACKPINK, visited Germany and was in a famous tourist spot, the East Side Gallery – the Berlin Wall with paintings, where one of the most famous works is “The Kiss” by artist Dmitri Wrubel.
The pictures depict two men kissing, Leonid Brezhnev, one of the last Soviet statesmen, and Erich Honecker, prime minister of West Germany. Despite what it seems, the painting is not about homosexuality, but rather a political issue. However, the idol caused controversy by sharing the image.
