The clip spread so widely that it finally pushed Jessica to address the situation herself. In a video later posted on her Chinese social media account, Jessica admitted that her “expression was a bit exaggerated” in the clip, but denied that it was due to a stench.
According to the singer, she reacted that way after a female fan in the crowd told her that she was 21 years old. Jessica explained that she was very taken aback that such a young girl knew about her and was her fan, and hence she reacted shocked expression, which was misinterpreted in the viral clip..

She said everyone, her friends texted her to ask what she really smelt at the airport and Jessica said it’s just misunderstanding 🤣 https://t.co/td6pGmx45v pic.twitter.com/wn3wVOK8Ld

However, this explanation has done little to help the previous speculations. Most fans reacted to this story with skepticism, growing convinced that Jessica was trying to be polite about the whole incident and protect the image of her fans.
She’d rather say it was all just a misunderstanding than let people think her fans smell bad 😂 but her reaction at the airport looked way too real 😭 https://t.co/2lGLZNDJlg

She’s trying to be polite. No matter what, it’s a very human response. Everyone there, without pointing finger, should take bath and wear deodorant. https://t.co/GHWoZmRis9 pic.twitter.com/BAnddypzMo
