'Apartment 404' producer responds to rumors about BLACKPINK's Jennie

'Apartment 404' producer Jung Chul Min responded to rumors surrounding BLACKPINK's Jennie.

According to the rumors, Jennie has been absent from post-work meals and get-togethers for the tvN variety show, and she likely won't be part of the cast lineup for the second season. 'Apartment 404' PD Jung Chul Min personally responded to the allegations, stating, "I mean, what is this? There's nothing like being absent from a scheduled work get-together for a meal, and there were never discussions for season 2."

The rumors arose following the news Jennie won't be joining the upcoming variety show 'My Name is Gabriel'. As 'Apartment 404' isn't doing well in the ratings department, it's reported Jennie was shocked by the harsh criticism of her and the cast, and she did not attend get-togethers due to working on an album and refused to answer when production asked her if she wanted to feature on the show's second season.

PD Jung Chul Min has shut down the rumors and speculation. However, he's since deleted his comments on the matter concerning Jennie.

Stay tuned for updates.
