BLACKPINK member Jennie’s recent airport photos heading to New York have sparked a debate among Korean netizens, with opinions sharply divided over her appearance.
Known for her stunning and chic visuals since her debut in 2016, Jennie’s latest photos at Incheon International Airport Terminal 2 in Unseo-dong, Jung-gu, Incheon, raised eyebrows among some observers. A post titled “No, but is this Jennie?” on a popular South Korean online community forum captured the essence of the discussion.
The original poster (OP) shared several photos of Jennie with comments expressing shock at her appearance and questioning whether it was indeed her. The post noted Jennie’s perceived chubby cheeks and slight double chin when her head was tilted back, leading to speculation about her “changed” visuals.
While some netizens agreed with the OP’s assessment, others rushed to Jennie’s defense. Many pointed out that the unflattering photos could be attributed to angles and flashing lights, emphasizing that Jennie looked unchanged in videos from the same day.
“Just because there are a few bad pictures out there doesn’t mean her face changed, so why are you triggered?” one comment read. Another emphasized, “Look at the videos of Jennie leaving the country. She looks the same.”
Fans of Jennie echoed these sentiments, expressing confusion over the criticism and reaffirming Jennie’s enduring beauty despite the unflattering photos.
The debate underscores the impact of perspective and context in assessing celebrity visuals, especially in the age of viral photos and instant online commentary. Despite the divided responses, Jennie continues to be admired globally for her talent and charisma, with her loyal fan base supporting her through all discussions and controversies.
