Netizens Outraged Over Negative Comments About BLACKPINK Jennie’s Body at Chanel Show
BLACKPINK’s Jennie recently found herself in the spotlight on Korean social media after appearing at Chanel’s show at PFW.
The K-pop industry is known not just for its catchy music and addictive choreography, but also for its stringent beauty standards for idols. Jennie faced a barrage of toxic criticism from Korean netizens following her appearance at Chanel’s Fall/Winter 2024 fashion show.
Despite receiving praise from the media and global fans, discussions about Jennie’s physique became a hot topic on Korean online communities and social media platforms.
Soon after Jennie’s photos at the show surfaced, some netizens wasted no time in commenting that she “seemed to have gained weight.”
Some of the negative comments include:
- Maybe she should reach out to Jisoo and they could hit the gym together.
- Look at Rosé and Lisa, they’ve done a great job maintaining their weight.
- She must have a habit of overeating under pressure. How else could she have gained weight so quickly in such a short time?
In response, fans and the majority of netizens defended Jennie:
- So what if she’s gained weight? She can always lose it again.
- As a guy, I don’t appreciate the constant praise for those skinny girls always on diets. Everyone’s different, and some people gain weight more easily than others. Let’s not try to change anything.
- Where exactly is she gaining weight?
- As a fan, I’m happy to see Jennie gain weight, less toxicity
The negative comments targeting Jennie reflected a broader issue in the entertainment industry, where pressure to maintain a “perfect” image can have serious implications for mental and physical health.
Outraged netizens have sent a powerful message: judging people based on appearance is unjust and outdated. It’s time to cultivate a healthier social media culture where stories like Jennie’s no longer become grounds for controversy.
