Ok, so Jennie has cornrows( from the teaser photos for the idol)

gonna put my two cents out there. I'm not bothered by people of different races wearing cornrows or boxbraids etc, as long as it is respectful

example,

I don't know why Jennie is the only woman who has cornrows, while the other dancer has regular hairstylesEach person can make up their mind about what they feel, and I won't stop anyone from expressing their viewpoints. But I won't drag her. I hope there is some clarification on this, given that this is a very touchy and sensitive topic.

EDIT:There could be reasoning behind this decision, based on her character in the show. Hadn't though about that fact, so edited the OP to add this in. I'll wait and see then eyy.

Quote from Lulu_Key

isn't this the weekend movie or show?

Why did producer and other people oked this?

She is gonna get hate when there were alot of people over her head who probably made this decision

tbh, yes this will invite alot of hate and dragging. I still remember lisa's situation.

The weekend isnt the best person IMO

Quote from Yumeku

I doubt they know people would notice. Hollywood is filled with ca and I rarely see a reaction let a lone buzz over it. Kpop fans talk about it more than any fan community afaik.

tbh on twitter people get dragged alot for CA. kpop fans do tend to be more vocal about this, and this is why I think it will invite hate towards blackpink sigh

Quote from dummi

Obvi I'm not really in a place to talk given the hairstyle isnt of cultural significance to me, I just think that if youre gonna promote in the US then maybe be aware of the nuances?

Like Ive seen comments saying only Americans care about this, and its like, okay but shes in the US, so do as the Romans do when it comes to nuances such as this. She won't get canceled for this I don't think but it's just a weird moment

my opinion. I'm not against others wearing cornrows/boxbraids etc. but, I think this will get backlash for jennie.

it is a pretty big issue here in the us eyy.

Quote from thegoddess31

I have no place to speak on this but I hope Jennie doesn’t become a punching bag again for this.

dunno, she'll probably be dragged. but that's not new in kpop sigh.

Quote from Lulu_Key

This feels intentional

Like yeah let's put the kpop idol in CA hairstyles and wait for the buzz on the net

Looking at everyone else's hair and then hers, it just feels like a set up

not sure, it could be given that she's the only one in cornrows.

Quote from ripia

lol when every other idol does it they get hate but when jennie does it, its okay?

who said that? lol.

Quote from jinaland

why The Weeknd himself let it? Isn't he Ethiopian descent?

sigh, I don't know.

Quote from ThePhantomThief

I think it's definitely something worth tempering reactions and waiting to see in the context of the show and character. She is after all playing a character, and the character she is playing could very well be some awful wannabe type that does this because THEY don't care. There very well could be a reason why this is occurring within the frame of the character she portrays.

The show very much seems to be a show about awful, vapid people in an awful, vapid, vulgar world, so it's well within the realm of possibility.

Take The Boys for example. Antony Starr says awful, racist, sexist things in it. Because thats the role he plays, NOT him. Chace Crawford plays a dopey rapist, but I don't expect that Chace is, or that he has control enough over the character arc to decide not to.

However if the show comes out and this happens without a context for character or setting, then fine, it's shitty.

this argument is based on speculation about what it could possibly be.

I just want to address the right now, If the situation evolves I will address it. still, I will be holding out to see any future statements, what happens in the show.

Quote from ripia

the general feeling of the thread, but when its other idols its automatic hate.

well, i wasn't active during the lisa issue so I didn't address it. I'm not a hateful person and tbh I've never dragged other idols for this. do you want me to be oh she should get hate?

I'm not gonna drag any idol over scandals like these. plus, my opinion is that I don't care if people wear cornrows. People who do care, they will ofc have different opinions.

Quote from ThePhantomThief

But addressing the right now, without knowing the full context that it's depicted in, is very kneejerk and almost smells of drama for the sake of it.

Eg Jisoo and Snowdrop situation.

ok, if that's your take that's your take. I've made may positive threads about blackpink and jennie, tbh I'm not much into creating drama.

Quote from ripia

its not just lisa many idols get hate ofc there are some people like me who think its fine, but double standards just because shes loved on the forum will be quite obvious

eyy, I don't really have anything to add to that lol.

I mean she'll be dragged in anons most likely. But I mean I don't care much for discussing who gets dragged most and to what degree, they are all pretty useless and depressing metrics to examine.

Lets pray no other dumbass fan will pay a fanmeeting just to "educate ha"

ok? I don't care what others do with their money?

Quote from ripia

you always say a lot but say nothing at the same time

yes, I agree lol

Quote from ripia

i know what you're talking about, ultra is misinformed fake blink

crying in my clown hat rn.

my blinkhood is being taken away from me from totally legit aespa stan ripia becuase I don't know all the tea about blackpink

Quote from thegoddess31

I’m not a blink and haven’t been since 2020 and I know what they’re talking about, and when that happened I only focused on twice. like, exclusively twice.

ok, am officialy fake blink. gotta pack my bags and leave akp now. moving back under my rock.

Quote from queenyeji

If "they" did it in private and not just to rub salt and throw Lisa more under the bus (like the Brazilian girl did). Seems like u don't even know what I am talking about so bye

I leave akp for months to live under a rock. don't come for me

Quote from ISaidISaid

But this is a very weird stance lol I thought this was her style for some real world thing and not a show.

The stylistic choices what happen for fictional characters actors play can’t be judged without context.

well, you do have a point there. tbh, I hadn't really considered this point of view.

Quote from ThePhantomThief

I'm more blanket statementing about the whole situation, not just your take on it.

Many people are running off half cocked on this and I just think it's definitely a wait and see thing.

tbh, hadn't thought much about this before. you do have a point, its better to wait and see before placing judgement.

I wouldn't have an issue with the cornrows either way.
