Recently, a post on the online community Pann Nate talking about Jennie's (Blackpink) influence in the Kpop music industry has attracted great attention.
The post reads: It seems like Teddy has been heavily inspired by Jennie.
In particular, most female idols debuting in The Black Label company (led by Teddy) are born with a golden spoon in their stomachs, a cat face and a frog's tail. Teddy even formed a girl group with a cat image (MEOVV group).
In the 3rd generation of Kpop, many people often say "Blackpink is like princesses who go to work as idols because of their passion". It feels like The Black Label is inspired by that.
Under the post, many people agreed with this view and praised Jennie's influence in building an idol image in Kpop.
Some comments pointed out that producer Teddy has long liked girls with "cat images" like Jennie. His ex-girlfriend - actress Han Ye Seul - is also famous for her unique features.
When the group MEOVV was released, not only the name reminded them of cats, many members of the group were also commented to have a "cat image". Especially Ella, the member with a chubby face with big, round eyes, was likened to "little Jennie" since she was a child.
Recently, member Youngseo of The Black Label's rookie group Allday Project also has similarities with a "Jennie-style" face.
Korean audiences commented: Blackpink is the most successful girl group today, of which Jennie is the most prominent. Although not to the point of being able to create a complete "little Jennie", it is true that they chose many female idols with charm like Jennie".
"Even in Blackpink, Jennie's appeal is very special. She doesn't naturally become a superstar.
"Jennie herself is the embodiment of influence".
Not only in The Black Label company, YG Entertainment's Baby Monster group previously had member Ahyeon known as "little Jennie".
Member NingNing of the group aespa under SM Entertainment is also known as a "Jennie copy" because her face looks like her senior.
Jennie debuted as a member of Blackpink in 2016 and became the most successful female Kpop idol today.
The beauty born in 1996 is considered the most comprehensive member of Blackpink. She took on the role of main rapper, but at the same time possessed a powerful voice and performing ability, with an attractive demeanor. The media said, Jennie is the girl that every girl group wants to have.
In 2019, Jennie was the first solo debut face in the group Blackpink. She achieved many impressive achievements with the hit "Solo", opening a new trend in Kpop when a member of a group was allowed to work separately after only 3 years of debut.
After rising to become a famous girl group with Blackpink, at the end of 2024 - early 2025, Jennie had an explosive comeback with her debut album "Ruby", causing a global storm with a series of hits "Like JENNIE", "Mantra", "ExtraL"...
