Is the merchandise for Jennie's new song disappointingly lackluster?

雷達歐尼10/19/2023 1 min read

After completing a world tour for a year, the popular girl group BLACKPINK's member Jennie returned to the music scene as a solo artist, releasing her new single "You & Me". Recently, her management company YG has been criticized for releasing Jennie's merchandise without sincerity.

After a gap of 5 years, Jennie has released her solo single "You & Me" again. In pursuit of perfection, she even invited Naoko Takeuchi, the author of "Sailor Moon", to design the single cover, making fans very excited about the merchandise.

Surprisingly, on the 17th, YG released Jennie's latest merchandise which includes clear or black-based phone cases, black/white short sleeve T-shirts, and black/white long sleeve university Ts. However, the design was quite disappointing.

All products are exactly reproducing the cover design of Naoko Takeuchi's new song for Jennie, "You & Me." But the price is as high as 110,000 Korean won, which is indeed valuable.

Upon reviewing it, netizens voiced significant dissatisfaction, with the belief that YG Entertainment lacked a sincere commitment to retaining Jennie and was merely going through the motions. Comments ranged from, "Isn't this merchandise just too hasty?" to "Extremely disappointing, extremely unattractive," and even "Can this even be considered merchandise? I could create this myself."

BLACKPINK Jennie's twin ponytail style is criticized for appearing childishK-Pop

BLACKPINK Jennie's twin ponytail style is criticized for appearing childish

The member of the girl group BLACKPINK, Jennie, has released a special single "You & Me" on the 6th, after 5 years since her first individual track in 2018. However, some netizens harshly criticized that Jennie's new song style does not match her age. On the internet forum yesterday, a netizen posted a topic titled "BLACKPINK Jennie, what's with the twin ponytails at 30?" In the post, the poster included a styling photo of Jennie's solo single "You & Me." From the photos, we can see that Jennie is wearing a red mini dress and has tied her hair in twin ponytails, similar to a beautiful young warrior. However, this style has been criticized by a netizen who wrote that she is no longer in her 20s and should not tie her hair in twin ponytails in her 30s. Therefore, it was questioned whether Jennie was doing this to attract people's attention. Here's the improved version: "In response, netizens couldn't tolerate it, and they commented, 'Jennie was born in '96; how could she be 30 years old? XD', 'Is being beautiful a crime?', and 'You're aging too; you're still writing these negative posts.'" "What does age have to do with wearing pigtails?" "No, even though I'm not interested in celebrities, this kind of comment is too much." "Looks like you're the one who wants to attract attention XD." "People who usually say what someone can't do because of their age, are those who have nothing else to attack. I don't understand why we have to discuss age, especially since Jennie is only 27." 'What a crazy person', 'How old is she to tie twin ponytails? And what does it have to do with you?', 'Even though I'm not a fan of Jennie and don't really care about her, that criticism is too much.' said the voices in support of Jennie.

"YG's sincerity is seriously lacking; no wonder BLACKPINK members are considering leaving." "YG is overly calculating, sticking to the same formula to save money." "Wouldn't it be more cost-effective to design your own merchandise?" "Fan-made items often surpass YG's painstakingly created products.""Super dumbfounded... It's my fault for having expectations for YG," "YG is really audacious, they dare to sell such a design at this high price," "Who would buy this kind of design at this kind of price?" "It's so ugly it's laughable," and other criticisms.

The new variety show "Apartment 404" prepared by PD Jung Chul-min this time is a real variety program set against the background of the apartment, which will fully showcase the features of a lot of "task" shows that were produced before. PD Jung Chul-min, one of the representative producers who led the revival of "Running Man," has successfully produced "The Sixth Sense" after moving to CJ ENM, receiving support from the audience. Particularly, having worked with Jennie once through "Village Survival, the Eight," he is expected to have a good chemistry with her, and fans are looking forward to seeing a new side of Jennie, which has never been seen before except during her BLACKPINK activities. Not only that, Jennie also had the opportunity to collaborate with Liu Zaixi again through "Apartment 404" after more than 5 years. The variety show collaboration showcased by the two was also a major highlight. Especially as Jennie, a member of BLACKPINK, one of the top girl groups in Korea and the world, she has also started her solo activities. On the 6th of this month, during BLACKPINK's world tour, Jennie also performed her solo work "You & Me", which will also be officially released. In addition, BLACKPINK members have also recently been active in both individual and group activities. Lisa recently attracted a lot of attention by participating in the famous adult performance "Crazy Horse Show" held in Paris. Jisoo and Rosé are also carrying out personal activities. It is reported that "Apartment 404" is currently inviting various guests and is expected to be broadcasted on tvN in the first half of next year, raising high anticipation.

Is Blackpink's Jennie not renewing her contract and joining HYBE?K-Pop

Is Blackpink's Jennie not renewing her contract and joining HYBE?

The contract between the girl group BLACKPINK and YG is due to expire in August, and everyone is very curious about whether or not all members will renew their contracts with YG. Recently, a new move by popular member Jennie has been reported online, attracting the attention of netizens. Recently, a netizen posted on an online forum discussing BLACKPINK Jennie's latest movements, uploading a post titled "Jennie seems to be heading towards HYBE". In the article, a screenshot of a Jennie video that was deleted due to copyright issues was posted. From the photo, it can be seen that the video was about Jennie's live stream, but it was deleted after someone reported it to YouTube, claiming it infringed HYBE's copyright. Regarding this, the netizen who wrote the article believes that only when Jennie becomes a part of HYBE, will she be included in HYBE's copyright. However, this speculation was immediately overturned by other netizens. One of the netizens explained that the video was removed by YouTube not because Jennie is HYBE's copyright, but because the content of Jennie's video is from Weverse Live streaming platform owned by HYBE. After learning about it, netizens expressed, "Ah! So that's what it was", "Thank goodness it's not true", "I was startled by the title", "It seems that there has been a similar instance with idols before where things were deleted due to copyright belonging to HYBE." "Turns out it was a false alarm, I thought I was going to be in the same company as V", "LOL, it's because the source is from HYBE", "Actually, it wouldn't be bad if Jennie joined HYBE", and other diverse reactions.
