Jennie is sending a message of support to women of this generation. She acknowledges the struggles they face and emphasizes that sometimes itβs necessary to just have fun and let go. She reassures that no matter what they look like, they are never foolish, and that women will always stand by each other. What women need is not self-censorship, but taking care of themselves and loving themselves just as they are.

If that wasn’t enough, another line that caught the attention of fans was, “This that pretty-girl mantra, she’s that stunna, make you wanna swing both ways.”
Many interpreted in in the context of sexuality, and thought that even though she’s a K-Pop idol, in a country where views sexuality can still be very traditional, Jennie was speaking about bisexuality. In particular, the song was released on October 11 (KST) which is also “National Coming Out Day.”
