Despite 85.2 Million Followers, Jennie Unrecognized by Fellow Celebrities
Musical actor and singer Shin Sung-woo and actor Kim Kwang-kyu did not recognize Jennie's face
On the 18th, Channel A’s variety show ‘Dad is a Flower Boy’ featured Kim Kwang-kyu visiting Shin Sung-woo’s house.
On this day, Shin Sung-woo was supposed to learn skincare methods from Kim Kwang-kyu, and the two headed to a beauty store to purchase cosmetics.
The 58-year-old Shin Sung-woo, who only now started taking care of his skin, headed to the hair product corner where hair dye promoted by BLACKPINK was displayed.
Kim Kwang-kyu, holding up a hair dye with Jennie’s picture on it, said, “I’m so jealous of this hair,” and then asked, “BLACKPINK… who is this?” Both Shin Sung-woo and Kim Kwang-kyu paused and asked the production crew for help, surprising everyone.
With the production crew’s help, Shin Sung-woo finally remembered and hastily said, “Ah, Jennie, Jennie,” causing laughter.
An embarrassed Kim Kwang-kyu teased, “How can you not know that as a singer?” Shin Sung-woo explained, “I don’t know the current singers. I know up to Jennie.”
Kim Kwang-kyu spent 300,000 KRW on beauty products for Shin Sung-woo, revealing, “I have a pile of cosmetics at home,” surprising everyone.
Shin Sung-woo responded, “I use what my wife prepares for me,” showing his manly side.
The variety show ‘Dad is a Flower Boy’ featuring Shin Sung-woo airs every Thursday at 9:30 PM on Channel A.

In response, Jennie’s team issued an apology, stating, “We sincerely apologize to everyone who felt uncomfortable with Jennie’s behavior in the content released on the 2nd. Jennie also reflects on smoking indoors and causing discomfort to the staff present. She has personally apologized to the staff member involved.”
