TWICE's Nayeon has been accused of copying BLACKPINK's Jennie more than once, leading some to wonder if this is being done on purpose.
Recently, the fashion choices of top K-pop idols Jennie and Nayeon have sparked a heated debate online. Fans have raised concerns about Nayeon and her stylist's choices, pointing out several outfits that bear a striking resemblance to those worn by Jennie.
One of the most mentioned instances was Nayeon’s recent Instagram post, where she sported a hip-hop-inspired outfit featuring pants secured with a white string that dangled a keyring. People pointed out that this look is extremely similar to an outfit Jennie wore in her music video for "SPOT!"
Fans of Nayeon rushed to her defense, arguing that it’s natural for stylists to draw inspiration from emerging trends, especially those set by a trendsetter like Jennie. However, some netizens noted that the similarities extend beyond performance wear to their everyday outfits, suggesting a pattern rather than coincidence.
Some netizens believe that Nayeon's stylist is to blame, with some believing that they are either not original or take heavy inspiration from Jennie. However, others claim that even their daily outfits are the same, leading many to speculate that Nayeon was the one trying to copy Jennie.
Despite that, people claim Nayeon does not deserve the hate, and it is likely Nayeon has a similar sense of style to begin with.
Some comments from netizens read:
- "Maybe Nayeon’s stylist is just picking up ideas from various sources, or maybe they're just not very original."
- "Wearing branded clothes doesn’t necessarily mean anything; custom outfits are where the real style shows."
- "There are definitely some outfits that are exactly the same, but others just share a similar vibe."
- "Fans of Jennie, there’s no need to stir up controversy over this."
