The similarity between Jennie and Lee Hyori is becoming a hot topic of discussion on Korean online forums. Many netizens were surprised when a series of Jennie's photos with light makeup or almost bare face placed next to Lee Hyori's youth photos showed many clear similarities.
In the shared images, Jennie attracts attention with sharp eyes, a personal face and characteristic cold demeanor. Meanwhile, Lee Hyori at her peak was also famous for her seductive, strong beauty and rare outstanding aura in the Korean entertainment industry.
Many viewers commented that the two are not only similar in facial features but also share the "vibe" (spirit, energy) of female idols leading trends of each generation. A comment that received much agreement wrote: "This is the'It girl' model of each period. The first generation was Lee Hyori, then Suzy, Jennie and now Wonyoung".
Besides her appearance, Jennie is also considered a rare artist who can continue the influence that Lee Hyori once created. Throughout the 2000s, Lee Hyori was considered a leading symbol of Kpop when she strongly covered music, fashion, advertising and reality TV.
For many years, the Korean public has repeatedly mentioned the concept of "second Lee Hyori", but according to the comments of many netizens, Jennie is the name closest to that position.
Since working with Blackpink, Jennie has always maintained great attraction both in music and fashion. The female singer regularly collaborates with many luxury brands, leads the brand value list and becomes a globally influential face.
Meanwhile, Lee Hyori still holds the iconic position of Kpop thanks to her persistent appeal throughout more than two decades of artistic activities. Therefore, the comparison between the two female artists makes the online community even more excited, seeing this as an interesting meeting between the two icons of beauty and style of two generations of Korean idols.
