However, following the release of her debut teaser, Nayeon was immediately compared to Jennie and the latter's concept for her debut with "SOLO." People also believed that Nayeon's solo concept resembles Jennie's pictorial with W Magazine for their November 2020 issue.
Why do people think this? Many believe that Nayon's make-up is similar to how Jennie does her.
Additionally, the high-class, luxurious, soft concept was used by Jennie to promote "SOLO," and people believe Nayeon's concept closely overlaps with Jennie's. The same color composition was also seen in both idol's concepts.

Many supporters of Nayeon are saying it is merely a coincidence, but many believe that the overall vibe of Nayeon's solo debut concept is similar to Jennie's. Some added that though Jennie does not own the concept, but she was the one who popularized it through her debut.
Comments concerning Jennie and Nayeon read:
"Jennie did not invent the style, concept, or make-up look, but she popularized it through her solo debut since it totally matches her. So when I first saw Nayeon's teaser, I immediately thought of Jennie."
"If you do not want to be compared to someone else, do something different."
"I am not a fan of Jennie or Nayeon, but the teasers really remind me of Jennie. I hope Nayeon has a successful solo debut anyway."
"Both Jennie and Nayeon are gorgeous, and they both have my support. You guys are just not used to Nayeon's new make-up style. She has always looked like this."
JYP Entertainment has not responded to the claims.
