The photo went viral across X (formerly Twitter), and while fans were excited about the new release, some netizens reacted negatively. Many thought the picture was unflattering of Jennie. Some blamed the angle, while others declared her stomach should have been “edited.”
Why did they choose this picture? The angle is soooo bad. https://t.co/272hyDXW3T

Unfortunately, Jennie became a victim of body-shaming, as netizens declared she appeared “bloated” and even “pregnant.” Some went so far as to slutshame her, too.
Why does it look like you're pregnant? https://t.co/y6J5Gq248n

Jennie’s fans were disgusted by the rude hate comments left on her photo. They questioned the unrealistic standards of women’s bodies, as Jennie looked not just normal but beautiful. There’s nothing wrong with the picture.
quotes are actually disgusting… your standard for a woman’s body has been ruined so badly that a normal healthy body is “fat”?? https://t.co/CswbE6Wnvk

Some fans also praised Jennie for posting the photo, knowing she’s confident in her body. It only made fans respect Jennie more.
Icb people are saying she looks pregnant when this that’s just a normal stomach 😭 in fact, I thank Jennie for posting this pic as a teaser bc she is confident with her body and this makes me feel good about mine. She’s just so perfect https://t.co/xkJEcZUCno

After all the ridiculous hatred she’s got for being a woman and have an uterus, she choosing a image teaser with a normal and healthy belly makes me respect her even more than I did before. https://t.co/iYxqoX0Wfc
