In 2017, BLACKPINK appeared as guests on the JTBC variety show "Knowing Bros."
On this broadcast, Jennie was asked to select her ideal type from the cast members of "Knowing Bros," considering their personality and appearance. At the time, she picked Lee Soo Geun.
After being selected, Lee Soo Geun asked, "Do you like how I look?"
Jennie responded, "I do not care about what guys look like. I do not think physical appearance is important."
Lee Soo Geun appeared embarrassed following Jennie's words and asked, "But I do not look that bad, right?"
Jennie made everyone laugh by replying, "No, it does not matter how bad you look." She then explained why she selected Lee Soo Geun as her ideal type, saying, "You have a nice personality."
In response, Kim Yong Chul said, "I have a good personality too." The members of "Knowing Bros" agreed, saying Kim Yong Chul has the best personality among them.
Jennie caused the whole studio to laugh by saying, "I think appearance is a little important."
She then selected which "Knowing Bros" member was the most handsome, awarding the title to Kang Ho Dong. She stated, "I like guys with big bodies. Kang Ho Dong is good-looking except for his face."
