Rookie Female Idol Faces Backlash Over Visuals in Photo With BLACKPINK’s Jennie

BLACKPINK’s Jennie is facing backlash after photos from the CHANEL Métiers D’art 2026 after-party sparked heated online debate.

The controversy began when W Korea released pictures of celebrities at the event, including ILLIT’s Wonhee and Jennie together. Fans quickly noticed a striking difference in their appearances.

An online community post titled, “Jennie makes Wonhee look like a normal person,” gained over 22,000 views. The post questioned Wonhee’s look compared to Jennie’s, sparking mixed reactions.

Fans flooded the comments with remarks like:

“Is this just a difference in the makeup?”

“That’s Wonhee? Why does she suddenly look like she’s in her forties?”

“You don’t even have to go as far as Jennie. Just looking at the ILLIT members, Moka, Minju, and Aroha look way prettier than Wonhee.”

“Even just by the eye difference, Jennie looks way more like a celebrity.”

As the situation unfolded, Jennie also caught attention for her bold outfit at the event, which sparked shock online.
