On an online Korean community site, fans can't help but react about the recent selfies of BLACKPINK's Jennie that she uploaded on her Instagram account. Upon posting, the whole fandom, as well as non-K-pop fans, were mesmerized by her beauty, exuding a cool image while flaunting the eyewear items she collaborated with Gentle Monster.
In addition to this, it was as if Jennie held a unique fashion show in her home through her multiple snaps, which reached almost 60 in total in less than 20 minutes!
BLINKs immediately flooded Twitter and Instagram with comments about the idol, appreciating her beauty and swag. But at the same time, Jennie became the center of attention among K-netizens, comparing her new image to his "BEFORE" photos, which was during the time when BLACKPINK was still a rookie group.
On the Korean community platform, a netizen raised discussion about the photos of Jennie, which reflects the style of American ladies.
The writer said, "I've been following Jennie's Instagram for a while now, so I was surprised [that Jennie uploaded several photos] I mean that's cool, but the Jennie I know is kind of a high-teen." The author published photos of the K-pop star a few years after her debut.
Later on, fans replied under the writer's blog, reacting about Jennie's image.
"It looks like she changed her style! She looks more like a hip [cool image] than high-end. I'm happy to see her try various styles!" One netizen wrote.
"It looks like she's trying several styles!" A fan also exclaimed.
Overall, the comments about her new look are mostly praises. However, the writer of the blog faced backlash, as fans misinterpreted her post as a criticism against Jennie. On an additional note, the writer explained herself, saying, "I am following Jennie, and I like her [...] don't get me wrong, I only say that it changed a lot as it used to be, and now it's really pretty."
Meanwhile, aside from fans hyping Jennie X Gentle Monster brand collaboration, fans are finally getting a comeback from BLACKPINK!
On May 4, YG Entertainment confirmed that the girl group is set to return in June. According to the official statement of the agency, "BLACKPINK is scheduled to return on June for a comeback." The comeback date remains kept under wraps, and the company promised to release an official announcement once everything is finalized.
Fans are now anticipating the major comeback showdown of BLACKPINK and TWICE, as the latter has been announced to return in the same month as the quartet. Both are two of the most popular girl groups not only in Korea but also internationally.
