Filipino fan puts billboard ad to get BLACKPINK Jennie's attention

[CannotBNamed]

A Filipino social media influencer has put up a billboard ad near YG Entertainment building in Yongsan District, Seoul, to get BLACKPINK member Jennie's attention.

Christian Albert Gaza, also known as Xian Gaza, 28, had several pictures posted of the billboard, which he installed because he "didn't have any other way to reach Jennie," according to his post on Facebook, Sept. 30.

The advertisement contains a picture of Gaza dressed in a suit and reads, "Kim Jennie Ruby Jane, you are my ultimate crush. Can I take you out to dinner and make me the happiest man alive?" in Korean and English.

The ad, which Gaza claims cost 1.5 million Philippine pesos ($29,750), is installed on top of a five-story building near the agency's office.

Although putting up an ad for celebrities and K-pop stars is common in the fandom culture in Korea, BLACKPINK fans and internet users are critical about this one. Many point out that the ad is "creepy" and "obsessive" for displaying the person who put it up and coercing a star to an individual meeting, in posts with relevant hashtags #protectjennie and #leavejenniealone.

In response to fans' criticism, Gaza wrote in a reply to his own Facebook, Thursday: "Same thing with your balloons, flowers and other stuffs. It's just the same thing. The only difference is that you can't afford a house and lot gift."

Previously in 2018, Gaza put a similar ad in Manila asking for a coffee date to a Filipino actress Erich Gonzales. In the ad he wrote: "I can't even espresso how much I like you a latte. Will you drink coffee with me?" But the actress turned him down.

Not only is it uber creepy, it's soooo disrespectful. Birthday ad and fan gifts are DIFFERENT. They are normally harmless. This is a sick form of harassment. She's already in a relationship so it makes it so much worse. And then he had the nerve to even put it near her JOB?!?! Where her co-workers can see...How utterly embarrassing this is. And that sleazy elitist tone he used when fans rightfully called him out is disturbing. So because you can afford it, that somehow makes your harassment okay???? If he's doing this, I wonder what other stalker behavior he's been up too. He seems to be one of those pricks that thinks because he has money he can buy people. Those type of "people" are disgusting.

I am so glad she’s in LA right now and can’t see this.

He's so smart to use her name to get attention. He's no match for me, Oli London, though.
