On November 19, a post titled “Jennie’s Belly Fat Is Showing” was shared on the Korean forum Pann. The original poster wrote, “Even when she was standing, it looked like that (belly fat), but when she sat down, her stomach stuck out even more.”
The OP backed up their claim by sharing several photos of Jennie on stage, and when zooming in, you can see Jennie’s stomach slightly sticking out when she bends down to pick up a tissue.
On the other hand, many Korean netizens criticized such posts that attack idols, emphasizing that Jennie has always had a perfectly toned and slim body. They pointed out that what appears in the photos is completely normal, especially since she was wearing tight clothing and her posture naturally caused her stomach to fold slightly — which does not mean it is fat.
- “The outfit is tight from the top and bottom, so when she sat down the skin pushed outward and looked like that. Do you think that’s extra fat? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ If you’re ugly and have nothing, at least try to have good intentions, OP ㅜ What a miserable life… how pathetic must you be when your whole life is falling apart like you ㅜㅜ”
- “Jennie is still seriously at the top… the fact that there are still hate posts about her means her career is long-lasting. Looks like she’ll stay active for several more years ㅋㅋㅋㅋ”
- “If you want to criticize Jennie for gaining weight, then you really don’t know how to live your life, girl ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ”
- “Jennie’s body shape is really beautiful and she’s still skinny. Don’t worry about her. Worry about your own ruined body that will stay bad whether you gain or lose weight.”
- “Even if Jennie gained weight, she’d still be thinner than you for your entire life, ㅋㅋ.”
- “Even if there’s no fat, tight clothes will always make the skin fold when sitting. You can’t stop that from happening.”
- “You’re all getting brainwashed by men and that’s why you have body-image disorders. Korean women: you don’t need to listen to this nonsense. Get out of this mindset and live according to the beauty you want. You’re all beautiful as you are.”
- “Jennie is really kind… she even ignores posts like these.”
Meanwhile, some pointed out that Jennie may have gained a little weight recently, referring to a previous interview with Hyeri: “In Hyeri’s YouTube video, Jennie said she has a small appetite and doesn’t eat much, but when they asked her about her favorite foods, she listed a really long list, haha. Then Hyeri told her, ‘Isn’t that a lot?’ and Jennie got flustered and changed her words. She pretends she doesn’t eat much, but she’s actually the BLACKPINK member who struggles the most with managing her body.” Another added, “She’s the type whose body shape changes noticeably if she gains weight, especially her lower body; she has a pear-shaped figure.”
What do you think?
