K-netizens had diverse opinions about BLACKPINK Jennie's wardrobe choices in the HBO series 'The Idol'.

On July 4, a netizen took to an online community forum and posted a thread titled, "Are Jennie's outfits in 'The Idol' considered clothing…?".

Alongside the post, the netizen shared a photo of Jennie from the set of the HBO series, where she was captured alongside her co-star Lily-Rose Depp.

Both were seen donning similar pink stage outfits, with Jennie in light pink and Lily in dark pink. The attire raised eyebrows due to its revealing nature, resembling a swimsuit-like one-piece with a crocheted top.

Some netizens came to Jennie's defense, asserting that she was merely wearing what the drama production had provided for her, emphasizing that she was wearing the same outfit as Lily-Rose Depp. Conversely, some found the outfits peculiar.

Describing the clothes as if they were made using a "3D pen," one user expressed, "It looks like the clothes were made with some 3D pen… I really hope that The Weeknd never holds a camera (produces) again in his life."

While a section of K-netizens believed that Jennie should have the freedom to wear whatever she desires, others argued that there should be certain boundaries that should not be crossed.

A few empathized with Jennie, acknowledging the pressures she faces as a top star striving to conform to American entertainment standards.

The opinions of K-netizens on Jennie's outfits in 'The Idol' varied:

"Jennie did nothing wrong. She's just wearing what the drama production is telling her to wear, and she's wearing the same outfit as Lily Depp."

"It looks so weird… It looks like an elementary child is wearing that kind of outfit."

"Even if the outfit looks weird, it's Jennie, so that outfit will probably trend soon."

"Jennie comes out as an idol. In America, isn't it pretty normal for idols to wear stuff like that on stage?"

"Lolll 3D pen… It is kind of off-putting."

"Although we should let her wear whatever she wants, shouldn't there still be a line to draw?"

"I just feel bad for her. She's a top star, but she's doing all of this just to fit into the US standards…"

Hyun Bin is finally addressing the long-standing "ddongcha" (poop car) theory surrounding his character from My Name is Kim Sam-soon—and he's not holding back!

In an interview on the 19th with Star News, the beloved actor confessed, "I was wrong," responding to the reevaluation of his iconic role as Hyun Jin-heon from the 2005 hit drama. The "ddongcha" theory has been a subject of online debate for years, with many viewers critiquing Hyun Jin-heon’s character as overly arrogant and entitled.

Hyun Bin, who first rose to fame in My Name is Kim Sam-soon, took the time to reflect on the character that made him a household name. He shared, “I was just following the script; there were no personal opinions added to the character of Hyun Jin-heon. At that time, I knew Hyun Jin-heon was portrayed as a ‘bad boy,’ and the way it was expressed was different from today’s standards.”

With My Name is Kim Sam-soon now being re-released as part of Wavve's "New Classic" project, fans are revisiting the 2005 drama, and the character of Hyun Jin-heon is under fresh scrutiny. Director Kim Yun-cheol even admitted that the "prince on a white horse" and "bad boy" tropes that once worked in 2005 don’t quite match today's sensibilities, leading to edits in the 2024 version.

Hyun Bin humbly acknowledged his gratitude for his successful career and hit works, saying, "It’s wonderful and I am grateful to have so many hit works. I’ve been fortunate to work with amazing writers, directors, and actors. Thanks to them, I’ve received a lot of attention and love." He also shared a sense of humility, noting, “But I never know when that luck will come again."

Despite the dramatic shift in perspective on his character, Hyun Bin’s charm and dedication remain strong. Fans are eager to see him in his upcoming film Harbin (directed by Woo Min-ho), set to be released on the 24th.
