Jennie From BLACKPINK And Felix From Stray Kids Face Backlash Following Brand Announcement

BLACKPINK’s Jennie and Stray Kids’ Felix are caught in a brand ambassador controversy.

Jennie’s six-year contract as ambassador for beauty brand HERA ended recently. Now, Felix has been announced as the new face of the brand. Photos of Felix promoting HERA surfaced online, drawing heavy backlash.

Fans unleashed malicious comments attacking Felix’s appearance and suitability for the role.

“Oh, HERA, I’m not going to use you from now on, bye.”

“Are you crazy? Changing the HERA model???? And to a male idol?? Honestly, I don’t even know who he is. I liked Jennie, so I watched the HERA CFs and bought a lot of products, but what kind of nonsense is this?”

“Hmm, honestly, when they put a male model for color cosmetics, it makes me not want to buy it…”

“Is he under 170 cm tall?”

As the hate grew, netizens accused BLACKPINK fans of targeting Felix. Some pushed back by sharing unflattering photos of Jennie online, sparking further tension between fanbases.

The comments section remains heated as fans debate the brand’s new ambassador choice.
