Despite both being ambassadors of Chanel, BLACKPINK Jennie and NewJeans Minji are receiving different treatment from the luxury brand.
NewJeans Minji was recently announced as the new ambassadors for Chanel Korea’s fashion, beauty, and watch & jewelry, drawing huge attention from netizens. However, many suspect the validity of Minji’s title, seeing that even now, Chanel still published no official announcement on the brand’s SNS platforms.
Nevertheless, in celebration of joining “Chanel’s World”, Minji received a lot of gifts from Chanel, including cakes, flowers, and balloons, creating a dreaming party scene. Still, some still express reluctance to believe, claiming that Chanel often sends their designs as gifts, not sweets. In addition, many pointed out that the photos of Chanel’s “alleged gifts” were published by a bakery in Korea, so there’s no concrete evidence that these were actually sent by Chanel.
Meanwhile, BLACKPINK Jennie, who is also a Chanel ambassador, received a vastly different treatment. In particular, the luxury brand never fails to pamper Jennie with gifts, whether it’s for her birthday, Christmas, the New Year, or other occasions and events.
Recently, for her birthday, Jennie had a party with Chanel and was given a customized flower bouquet and a bag from the brand’s latest collection.
As Chanel is always giving Jennie its most luxury items, even customizing her concert outfits, it’s no longer a surprise to see Jennie using clothes and accessories from Chanel. Whenever she travels for a Chanel event, Jennie’s hotel rooms are decorated by Chanel, parties are held for her, and various of the brand’s products are given to her. Once, Chanel even sent a whole coffee truck to show support for Jennie.
As of the moment, many comparisons have arisen regarding Chanel’s different treatment towards Minji and Jennie. However, some netizens explained that Minji is a new ambassador, while Jennie has worked with Chanel for a long time, so this is natural.
