ILLIT member Wonhee is becoming a hot topic online after appearing alongside Jennie in newly released photos from the CHANEL Métiers d’Art 2026 after-party.
The event gathered numerous high-profile celebrities and fashion industry figures, with magazine W Korea later sharing exclusive snapshots from the star-studded evening.
Among the photos that quickly caught fans’ attention was a shot featuring Wonhee and Jennie posing together at the after-party.
While many fans were excited to see the rookie idol standing alongside one of K-pop’s biggest fashion icons, the image also sparked heated debate across Korean online communities.
A post on the popular forum Nate Pann titled, “Jennie makes Wonhee look like a normal person,” reportedly surpassed 22,000 views as netizens began comparing the two idols’ visuals and aura.
Some commenters speculated that differences in makeup and styling may have affected Wonhee’s appearance in the photo, while others made harsh remarks criticizing the rookie idol’s visuals.
Several comments circulating online included:
- Is it just the makeup difference?
- That’s Wonhee? Why does she suddenly look like she’s in her forties?
- Even among ILLIT members, Moka, Minju, and Iroha look prettier.
- Just from the eyes alone, Jennie looks much more like a celebrity.
However, many fans also defended Wonhee, criticizing the excessive scrutiny rookie idols often face online and pointing out that single candid photos should not define an idol’s visuals.
Others noted that Jennie has built a strong reputation in the fashion world over many years, making comparisons between a rookie idol and a global luxury ambassador naturally unfair.
Meanwhile, Jennie once again attracted major attention for her styling and outfit at the CHANEL event, continuing to solidify her influence as one of K-pop’s most talked-about fashion figures.
