Knet start an argument when Korean newspaper praised Jennie for having the look of an actress
After knowing that Jennie (Black Pink) is the female idol whose beauty is highly appreciated by the magazine Herald Pop and can be the same as actress-level beauty, netizens have showed their contrary opinions towards this.
In Korea, it’s hard to find a beauty representative because there are a number of beautiful idol singers and actresses. Perhaps, however, in terms of beauty, most of actresses are more highly appreciated than idols. This may be the reason why many people think that no matter how fast time flies, the beauty of Jeon Ji Huyn or Son Ye Ji still can’t be beaten by idols such as Suzy or Yoona.
But is there an idol whose beauty and manner looking like an actress? The magazine Herald Pop gave Jennie (Black Pink) that compliment. Herald Pop stated that in her behind-the-scenes photos, Jennie showed her sexy and luxurious appearance and manner. She even looked more beautiful in photos which were not edited yet.

Netizens also admit though Jennie is not Black Pink’s visual, she is one of the newest beauties of Kpop. Through a voting for “Real Beauty Queens” of the magazine Cosmopolitan, Jennie together with Irene (Red Velvet) and Suzy were winners.
However, many people don’t agree with Herald Pop’s compliment that she has the look of an actress. Some fairly comment that Jennie is beautiful, but she can’t beat Kpop angels such as Yoona or Suzy. Therefore, it’s impossible for her to have the look of an actress.
Below are some other comments of netizens:
She’s pretty and totally my type but I admit she’s not actress level. She does look like a model though.
- I wouldn’t say actress level
- Can we stop comparing idols to actresses? I admit that idols are young and pretty and cute but no where near comparable to actresses. Even Suzy has been acting for so long but I still don’t get that actress vibe from her.
- A face that’s more charming than beautiful
YG’s opinion is still unknown, but recently on YG Stage, fans have caught a moment of Jisoo, the group-mate of Jennie. This has showed that Jisoo officially became an actress managed by YG, and in the future, she will not only work as an idol but also try many different fields. In terms of acting, before, Jisoo used to play cameo in 2 drama “The Producer” and web drama “Temporary Idol”
It seems that Herald Pop’s statement about Jennie’s beauty is not supported by netizens. It even makes no sense with what YG has just done. So, in your opinion, what are criteria to judge someone to have a look of an actress? Is Jisoo the one who should be praised instead of Jennie?
