BLACKPINK Jennie’s Twerking And Concert Outfit Receive Mixed Reactions From Netizens

As BLACKPINK conquers their Born Pink World Tour, fans are loving every minute of it. As the girls are confident and feeling themselves, their are many iconic and sexy moments that BLINKs can’t get enough of!

However, a recent viral clip of Jennie from BLACKPINK’s Paris concert is drawing mixed reactions.

The video clip is taken during the end of the concert where Jennie wears a bra and a skirt, using her hair to cover herself.

As the concert draws to a close, she has fun dancing and shows off her twerking skills.

Some netizens found the look to be too exposing by their own standards.

• “What’s up with Jennie’s outfit?”
• “She dresses like that and dances like this”
• “It’s not pretty or cool, it’s weird”
• “But BLACKPINK’s outfits are really short this time, long outfits also suit them but why ㅠㅠ”

However, others came to her defense, pointing out the fact that foreign singers, as well as some Korean singers, are praised for their more exposing outfits and dance moves.

• “I bet you’ll faint when you see foreign singers perform on stage”
• “Hyuna gets compliments when she dresses like that, but Jennie gets scolded when she dresses like that LOL What is the standard?”
• “I just think that Jennie likes that style”

Similarly, many fans came to her defense on Twitter, posting about how Jennie breaks stereotypes for the “unrealistic cutesy image” that many idols may be faced with.

No but Jennie’s such a fresh breath of air for a Kpop girlie who acts THEIR AGE, cause everybody in the industry wants this unrealistic cutesy image on female idols when behind closed doors it’s a different story. I’m so glad for jennie being genuine with herself

The debate has opened up a conversation on the difference between Korea’s culture and expectations of their celebrities versus those in other parts of the world, such as western artists.

you’ll never see kpop stans bother a western artist for twerking but here they go bothering her just because she’s Korean and they expect her to act like a 10 year old and not a 26 year old having fun https://t.co/3gX5LdsMq0

Additionally, netizens have discussed the difference in the general public’s reaction to men and women wearing exposing outfits and doing sexy dance moves on stage.

if a grown woman having fun & being confident & happy in her own skin bothers you… go back to the olden days where your mindset belongs to bc i don't see y'all acting like this when an equally grown man takes their shirt off & starts grinding the floor during a concert https://t.co/v5FeiWN3df pic.twitter.com/0TeN70LhrF
