Following nearly two months of hiatus, BLACKPINK returned to the stage with two back-to-back shows on October 18–19, attracting over 50,000 fans at the National Stadium. As always, Jennie’s fashion choices dominated social media, with hashtags like #JennieKaohsiung and #LikeJennieOutfit trending across platforms.
During her solo stage performance of Like Jennie – ExtraL, Jennie shocked audiences when she removed her leather jacket mid-performance, revealing a luxury Chanel lingerie set.
The moment, lasting only 23 seconds, sent the entire stadium into a frenzy — both for its confidence and sensuality.
Her styling — a low-rise denim ensemble paired with exposed designer underwear — showcased Jennie’s signature mix of fashion-forward boldness and high-end elegance as Chanel’s global ambassador.
While many praised Jennie for her fearless expression of artistry and her ability to command a stage, others criticized the performance as too revealing for an Asian venue.
Some fans noted that Jennie’s bold image has long been embraced in Western performances, but her Kaohsiung outfit marked one of the most daring looks she has worn in Asia.
“She’s not afraid to challenge traditional ideas of what a female idol should look like,” one fan commented on X (Twitter).
Others, however, felt it crossed the line: “BLACKPINK used to represent elegance — now it’s just shock value,” wrote another user on Weibo.
Back in 2022, Jennie faced backlash in China after performing in a bra top during the group’s Born Pink tour in Europe. At the time, some netizens labeled her performance “too explicit,” while fans defended it as part of global stage culture.
This recent incident appears to have revived that debate, with online discussions over cultural standards, double expectations for female idols, and Jennie’s ongoing reinvention as a boundary-pushing artist.
Despite the controversy, few can deny Jennie’s power to turn every appearance into a global talking point. Whether she’s labeled as bold, controversial, or iconic, Jennie continues to command the spotlight as one of K-pop’s most influential style icons.
