Korean Netizens Criticize Jennie’s Harper’s Bazaar Photoshoot, Blame Photographer for Unflattering Concept

Korean Netizens Criticize Jennie's Latest Photoshoot

As one of the top K-pop stars today, Jennie is constantly making waves online. Recently, the BLACKPINK beauty once again caused a stir when she appeared on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar US for the October 2024 issue. The idol left a strong impression with her striking and irresistibly sexy look. Notably, her short bob hairstyle gave the photoshoot a fresh and unique vibe, completely different from her previous photoshoot concepts.

Korean netizens didn’t think so. While some criticized the revealing nature of Jennie’s outfits, the majority directed their frustration at the photographer and the overall concept of the photoshoot, arguing that it failed to showcase Jennie’s true charm. Some even speculated that the photographer intentionally made her look “bad.”

  • “The first outfit looks way too much like underwear, and the photos and outfits overall just don’t seem right…”
  • “Ah… all her expressions are the same, the outfits are too revealing, and it feels like the photographer deliberately picked shots worse than B-cuts…”
  • “But honestly, saying Jennie can’t pull off a good photoshoot because she only has one expression is just unfair. She’s actually one of the celebrities who takes amazing photos, lol. It feels like a lot of people here just don’t like Jennie.”
  • “What’s going on with the photo selection? Even the cover— it’s like they tried their best to make her look bad.”
  • “Judging by the poor photos and negative comments, it seems like the photographer’s at fault. I don’t understand why they’re still getting work.”
  • “It’s strange, not a single shot turned out well. How did they make her look like that?”
  • “I was like, ‘Is that Jennie?’ She didn’t even look like herself… Then I read the comments about Yoona, and yeah, what’s the concept? Seems like the goal was to make them look unrecognizable.”
  • “The photos are one thing, but could they stop putting Jennie in outfits that look like underwear…?”
  • “Not great.”
