Yet, while many fans loved Jennie’s outfit, when a photo was posted online, it became the center of major criticism, along with the idol’s styling in general.

Some thought that Jennie had lost her “aura,” while others focused on how boring they thought the dress looked.
“K-pop idols lose their aura once they step outside Korea” this is always proven right. https://t.co/MVDDB3fvoR

Some looked at the wider issues with the look, including the lack of accessories and the makeup that the stylist had used on Jennie, which tried to resemble a “no makeup” look.
no makeup, no accesories, the same tons of gel for the hair, the dress is a 7/10
yea idk what happened to her
