Netizens Defend BLACKPINK’s Jennie From Malicious Comments About Her Body
Content Warning
Netizens recently came to the defense of BLACKPINK‘s Jennie following criticism of her body.
On November 9, Jennie appeared in a video for Vogue, where she was interviewed about cold plunging. Cold plunging is a recovery technique usually used by athletes to help their bodies recover from activity, but it can also have other benefits.
During the video, Jennie is shown taking a cold plunge while wearing biker shorts and a sports bra.
In a forum post titled “Jennie feels f*cking average to me after seeing her side profile,” a netizen took a screenshot of Jennie while she was facing the bath, showing her from the side. The commenter seemed to comment negatively about Jennie’s body in the photo, showing the idol’s stomach slightly protruding.
The image is taken from the moment in the video when Jennie breathed in, something commenters pointed out against the seemingly malicious post. Others pointed out that women’s stomachs usually protrude after eating or relaxing due to the organs inside.
- “I watched the video, and she was just breathing in before getting into the freezing water. Capturing the moment her stomach inflated with air while she was breathing and using that against her is so malicious.”
- “For those criticizing female idols for having ‘average’ faces or bodies, why don’t you try debuting yourself? Why are you sitting at home, taking weird screenshots, and leaving hate comments?”
- “Criticizing idols based on their faces or bodies is so pointless… sigh.”
- “It’s hard to look good from that angle, and maybe Jennie’s stomach was just bloated that day. Whatever the reason, she looks more realistic in that shot, but why attack the original poster so much? I’m a huge fan of Jennie. This kind of screenshot doesn’t make Jennie any less pretty, doesn’t insult her figure, and doesn’t harm her star power at all.”
- “Are you jealous of Jennie, sis?”
