BLACKPINK Jennie’s “Topless” Photoshoot Hit With Major Backlash
BLACKPINK‘s Jennie sparks backlash for her topless photoshoot.
Recently, Jennie has been experimenting with more sexy and mature looks.
On April 8, Jennie sparked shock by going topless for a new magazine shoot.
The photos showcased Jennie without a top and either using garlic to cover her or a Chanel jacket, as she is a brand ambassador.
On theqoo, the photos were posted alongside other stars’ editorials, including Kylie Jenner, NJZ, and Troye Sivan.
When the photos were posted, many netizens hit back at Jennie being exposed, adding that she should be careful considering the amount of influence she has and being a representative. Others pointed out how exposure aside, they didn’t like the photoshoot and how it portrayed Jennie.
- “She really needs to be more aware of the influence she has.”
- “Even if Jennie somehow makes it big in the U.S. by dressing like that, it’s only going to harm the image of Asian women.”
- “She’s so skinny…”
- “Forget the revealing aspect—doesn’t the photoshoot just look bad overall? Like, is this really the best they could do? Is it the photographer’s fault? It’s just not good.”
- “She’s really skinny.”
- “Her revealing outfits always give me this uncomfortable feeling—kind of like seeing your younger cousin wearing a bikini. It’s just… not sexy at all.”
However, some defended the idol by explaining that it wasn’t a new style for Jennie and the brand but also that she has been trying different concepts since starting her solo career.
-
“But honestly, Jennie seems to have always liked that kind of style…”
-
“It’s Chanel though, so maybe it actually does align with the brand’s image?”
-
“It just seems like she’s trying out different concepts… Ever since she went solo, she’s been leaning into this hot-girl & natural vibe (though that now includes more revealing outfits). If the reaction isn’t great, she’ll probably switch it up again~~ That’s how celebrities usually are, right?”
