BLACKPINK’s Jennie sparks controversy over her gifts to the famous Kwon Twins.
In YG, not only idols and artists, but also dancers also attract a large number of fans, typically twin brothers Kwon Young Deuk and Kwon Young Don. Known for their top-notch choreography skills, handsome looks, and being close to 4 members of BLACKPINK, the dancer duo has been drawing much attention. Recently on the twins’ birthday, Jennie also sent gift boxes to them. There was no big deal until netizens noticed the brand of the gifts.
On his Instagram, the younger brother Young Don showed fans a photo of a Gucci gift box he received from Jennie. Seeing this story, many netizens wonder why Jennie gave Gucci gifts despite being a Chanel ambassador. Some netizens even “dramatize” the situation and suspect that Jennie might no longer collaborate with Chanel in the near future.
Jennie’s fans believe that speculations about the possibility of Jennie ending her contract with Chanel as an ambassador don’t make sense, especially if they are based on her recent everyday outfits, which are not filled with items from Chanel.
Jennie‘s style is flexible. She owns items from a variety of clothing brands such as Jacquemus, Alaia, Reformation, Nieeh, Alessandra Rich… Not to mention, daily style is personal freedom. Brand ambassadors are not obligated to only wear the brand’s clothes all the time without change. And recently, Jennie also became the face of 2 global campaigns of Chanel.
Before being dubbed the ”Human Chanel”, Jennie was deemed a perfect fit for Gucci because of her unique and classy aura, which makes the Gucci outfits she wears look more eye-catching. The Gucci red bow once worn by Jennie was even called “Jennie’s bow” and became an accessory trend in Korea for a while.
As for Jennie’s Gucci gifts to Kwon Twins, there should not be an issue when Jennie gives her friends something from the brand she’s not an ambassador. Not to mention, the gift belongs to the Gucci x Balenciaga collaboration project that Kwon Twins are currently involved in. Besides, maybe Jennie picked out Gucci gifts because it could be the twins’ favorite brand. After all, Jennie knows her friends better than netizens.
