BLACKPINK Jennie’s TikTok Outfit Sparks Controversy Over Underwear Look
BLACKPINK Jennie is facing backlash over her latest TikTok video, where she wore a controversial “underwear” style outfit that many netizens found odd and cringe-worthy.
The controversy began when Jennie posted a TikTok ahead of her upcoming music video release for “Less Than a Lover.” The video featured Jennie alongside her co-star Nah Kai, showing off the unique outfit that caught fans’ attention.
Fans quickly reacted to Jennie’s fashion choice. Some praised the video, but many criticized the outfit, saying it looked strange and uncomfortable to watch. Several netizens compared the look to a villain’s costume from the animated show Crayon Shin-chan.
Wait, what is Jennie’s outfit? I was just thinking, ‘Aww, that’s so cute haha,’ but then when she turned around, it kind of looked like something one of the villains from Crayon Shin-chan [the show] would wear…
Others were confused by the outfit’s design, mistaking the shorts for underwear at first glance.
I’m seriously so clueless about fashion that I didn’t realize it was supposed to be that kind of outfit. When I first saw Jennie running, I was like, Whoa, holy crap, your underwear is showing!’ Then I realized they’re shorts…
The video also drew criticism for the acting, especially a scene where Jennie’s co-star pretends to be dragged by her.
Why does the guy’s “getting dragged by Jennie” acting annoy me so much? Jennie runs over and grabs his hand, and then he deliberately acts like he had no idea she was going to run and pretends to get pulled along. Ugh, it’s so irritating.
Some fans expressed frustration with the TikTok challenge format itself, saying it’s become repetitive and unoriginal.
Honestly, these kinds of challenges are only interesting the first few times. Once everyone is using the same background music, making the same poses, and the same facial expressions, I don’t really get why people keep doing them.
Even on Jennie’s official TikTok page, the outfit choice sparked mixed reactions and some backlash.
Jennie’s “Less Than a Lover” music video is set to drop this Friday, with fans eagerly waiting despite the mixed responses to the teaser TikTok.
