Jennie in MMA - few idols greet her

  • Blackpink is notorious for not associating with other idols.


    That might have made her stature in Korea to be lower than it actually is.

    Some idols ignore Jennie altogether. I won't cite who did that but they are stiff.

    At the end, as Jennie is about to leave, she meets aespa.

    Only Karina greets Jennie.


    As Jennie is about to leave, Illit's Minju, a former YG trainee (it is not known whether she saw Jennie during the YG days), brings Wonhee to greet Jennie. Minju had covered a song from Jennie,

    so it is clear that Minju admires Jennie.


    Following them, Moka and another member, probably Yunah (Iroha nowhere to be seen), greet Jennie.


    A member of Kiikii is caught in the clip but by that time Jennie is leaving the stage.


    So, out of the idols in MMA, only Karina and 4 of 5 Illit members greeted her.


    What is that?


    That weakens my argument of younger generations not paying filial duty to the Senior Singer because the latter lost power.


    The younger generation of KPop seems to have no respect over older generations, whether they are powerful or not.

  • Korean BLINKs, particularly targeting the aespa members, were very critical of the idols not reacting to Jennie’s stage. Following that, there’s a netizen post on the well-known site featuring Giselle, where she explains that they couldn’t react to Jennie’s stage because they couldn’t see it properly.

    I don't get why Korean BLINKS are upset when this is similar to how BP used to react during award shows and performances in the past. Ifans praised BP for not reacting and because they were from YG, there was a perception that they carried a certain image like a sense of superiority over other idols so it was fine not to react. The double standards now...


    I like this Jennie account calling them out...

    I also think no one is obliged to do anything. In this case, I think, it's entirely related to Korean blinks. It's not really about Korean listeners in general. or international blinks

    Let the idols react however they want. Some k-pop fans can be overly critical, comparing reactions as if it’s their responsibility. They say they want to bring back idol reactions during award shows but then react negatively when it actually happens. I’ve seen similar behavior among ifans, with comments like "they’re just jealous of Jennie which is why they’re not reacting". Some fans tend to project themselves onto their fave idol and live vicariously through them...

    At least among ifans, it didn't get this intense. For a singer like Jennie, who always talks about female empowerment in her songs, it's really wrong for her korean fans to almost bully a group. It's honestly an extremely ridiculous and exaggerated situation. As I said, the main reason this issue dragged on and got so much attention is the Korean blinks.

    I also saw a netizen post about it (there’s a netizen post on the well-known site featuring Giselle,) , along with a lot of korean comments. It seemed serious to me, why would Giselle feel the need to make a statement ?

    That's true, Giselle did not need to make a statement. Are they actually Korean BLINKS or AESPA antis? Since AESPA are the ones getting the most flak out of this... It's ridiculous...
