Recently, Jennie (Blackpink) appeared in Homme Girls magazine with a semi- nude image (top body) posing boldly and covering her body with some props.
The magazine described Jennie as: "She is a force, a phenomenon. Since the music market exploded in 2016, Jennie has redefined the meaning of becoming a global icon. And now, she has boldly entered a new era with her new album - Ruby".
Under Homme Girls' post, fans created a mixed stream of opinions.
Some viewers thought that Jennie was breaking the mold to step out of her comfort zone, building a new, hotter image.
Some notable comments such as: "Oh, Jennie is so beautiful", "Jennie knows what she's doing, don't worry, she's really hot", or "Oh my god, Jennie? How can I breathe, it's too hot".
However, many fans are still not used to the bold new image of the female idol: "Jennie is no longer herself. This is an unsightly photo," "Jennie, what are you doing? ".
Previously, in March, Jennie released her debut solo album "Ruby", creating a strong wave on global charts.
The album sold more than 1 million copies in its first week, reaching No. 2 in Belgium, Korea, New Zealand... and No. 3 in the UK. This achievement helped the Blackpink member become the Korean female solo artist with the highest first-week sales in these countries.
In addition, the album also achieved high rankings in many other countries such as France ( No. 4), Japan and the Netherlands ( No. 5), Germany ( No. 6), the US ( No. 7), Switzerland ( No. 9).
Recently, Jennie also held a music event The Ruby Experience in Seoul, Korea to promote her album. This is an important event for the female idol, because it was her first solo performance in her hometown.
