The post about Jennie and Lisa (BLACKPINK) is causing fierce controversy.

It’s been more than a year since Jennie ‘s debut as an actress , but to this day, the BLACKPINK rapper’s first role is still regularly dissected by the media. “Debuting” in the film industry with the supporting role of Dyanne in HBO’s series The Idol , Jennie once made fans restless. The film quickly became the center of attention when it gathered a cast of “top stars” such as The Weeknd, Lily Rose-Depp, Jennie and The Weeknd.

It’s been more than a year since Jennie joined The Idol.

It was thought to be a good stepping stone for Jennie to enter Hollywood, but The Idol made her sink into controversy because of the sensational plot and revealing scenes labeled as erotic. Jennie became the target of attacks, especially in Asia. The rapper’s overly sexy scenes flooded social networks, considered a “stain” that tarnished the feminist image that BLACKPINK built.

Jennie’s Hollywood debut brought back many scandals

Recently, a post said to be translated from a French newspaper, revealing the behind-the-scenes story and foreign media’s views on Jennie’s role, attracted the attention of netizens.

According to this post, Jennie has proven herself, surpassing the standards of Kpop idols when deciding to participate in the film project. Asian and European media are divided into two perspectives in evaluating Jennie. Notably, the post also commented that Jennie paved the way for Lisa to express her personality at the strip club.

Jennie and Lisa become the center of controversy again

“The media in Asia and Europe have divided into two different perspectives on the ‘real’ Jennie portrayed in The Idol. Asian media, including her home country of South Korea, followed by China and Southeast Asia, have strongly condemned and criticized Jennie for participating in this drama, claiming that it has tarnished the artistic image that BLACKPINK has built and promoted. Jennie is seen as the mastermind and the premise for the participation of fellow member Lisa in ‘Crazy House’ later, leading to a loss of sympathy among Asian audiences.

This especially affected the group’s image, which Jisoo and Rosé spent their entire clean careers building, only to be ruined by the duo Jennie and Lisa, with Jennie “paving the way” and creating a stain that is difficult to erase.

On the other hand, European media has taken a more liberal view, praising Jennie as a living saint, allowing her to express her true self more boldly and reveal the artistic depth inherent within Jennie,” the post quoted.

Lisa’s striptease scandal was accused of being “paved the way” by Jennie

This topic immediately sparked a huge controversy. Many people opposed the view that Jennie was the “sinner who ruined the group’s image”, causing Lisa to decide to strip. These things are not related to each other, it is difficult to assign responsibility to any member of the group.

Fans quickly pointed out the “war-provoking” post that caused Jennie – Lisa to be criticized.

In addition, BLACKPINK fans quickly pointed out that this post was clearly “inciting war” when emphasizing the idea that “Jisoo and Rosé spent their entire careers building their image, only to be ruined by Lisa and Jennie”. Fans proved the malicious motive of the poster. In fact, there was no French article mentioning Jennie and Lisa like the above post. All were exposed as fake news that caused BLACKPINK to be criticized for no reason.
