BLACKPINK, a famous group under YG Entertainment, has been making headlines lately.
People are talking about their contract negotiations and the solo projects each member is pursuing.
Jennie, one of the members, made her acting debut in HBO‘s ‘The Idol‘ earlier this year. She played a bold character named Dyanne in the show, which was quite different from her usual image.
Some fans found the show’s content a bit daring, especially the dance routines and the outfits Jennie wore, which received criticism.
Another member, Lisa, recently performed at the Crazy Horse cabaret in Paris, which got a lot of attention online.
People started comparing the daringness of Jennie‘s outfits in ‘The Idol‘ to Lisa’s attire at Crazy Horse.
Here’s what K-netizens had to say:
“If they want to dress like that, they should just be American idols. Don’t do it in Korea.”
“What Lisa wore is similar to concert costumes, so it’s not too bad.”
“Jennie’s image has definitely changed now.”
“How can you compare a drama with a real strip show?”
“Jennie was acting in a drama, so the comparison doesn’t make sense.”
“I didn’t know what Crazy Horse was, so I looked it up on YouTube, and it seemed like a strip show to me.”
“This doesn’t change the fact that BLACKPINK is still the most popular girl group.”
“As a Korean, it makes me uncomfortable, but I’ve seen international artists dress even more provocatively, and there isn’t much reaction to them from international fans.”
