With her impressive figure, straight shoulders, and “snatched” waist, BLACKPINK’s Jennie is often praised for making all clothes she dons look super gorgeous.
However, the female idol was recently body-shamed after she dropped a new concept photo for her upcoming single “Mantra”, which shows Jennie seemingly sitting on a car with wavy wind-swept hair.
While fans were excited about the image, some netizens hurled out criticism, leaving comments ranging from the mild claims that the image looks “unflattering” with a bad angle, to downright rude mentions that Jennie “looks pregnant”. Some also stated that Jennie’s somewhat “bloated” stomach should have been edited.
Fortunately, many people fiercely defended Jennie and called out those who body-shamed the female idol. These people also questioned the unrealistic standards that are imposed on the female body, with some even praising Jennie for posting the unedited photo showing her healthy figure.
“Your standard for a woman’s body has been ruined so badly that a normal healthy body is now fat?”, a netizen said, whereas another stated, “I’m convinced that some of yall have never seen a female body or learned female anatomy ‘cause what do you mean ‘she looks pregnant’ girl that’s a normal body?”
“Icb (I can’t believe) people are saying she looks pregnant when this that’s just a normal stomach“, another netizen wrote, adding, “In fact, I thank Jennie for posting this pic as a teaser bc (because) she is confident with her body and this makes me feel good about mine. She’s just so perfect”.
On the other hand, Jennie’s single “Mantra” will be released on October 10.
