아니 근데 제니 옷 뭐야
귀여워서 ㅎㅎ 이러고 보고 있었는데 뒤돌은 거 보니까 짱구 악당 옷 같네.. https://t.co/vnC1scCOWp— 괭괭 (@S_N_Ooo_b) July 22, 2026
Wait, what is Jennie’s outfit? I was just thinking, ‘Aww, that’s so cute haha,’ but then when she turned around, it kind of looked like something one of the villains from Crayon Shin-chan [the show] would wear…

I’m seriously so clueless about fashion that I didn’t realize it was supposed to be that kind of outfit. When I first saw Jennie running, I was like, Whoa, holy crap, your underwear is showing!’ Then I realized they’re shorts…

아 나 왜케 제니 손에 끌려가는 남자 모션이 개킹받지? 제니가 달려와서 손잡았는데 달릴 줄 몰랐다는 듯 끌려가는 척하는 저 의도된 모습이 아 개짜증나네 https://t.co/eDvqwG5OFP

Why does the guy’s “getting dragged by Jennie” acting annoy me so much? Jennie runs over and grabs his hand, and then he deliberately acts like he had no idea she was going to run and pretends to get pulled along. Ugh, it’s so irritating.

근데 진짜 이런 챌린지도 처음에 몇번해야 신박하지 남들 다하는 브금에 똑같은 포즈 똑같은 표정 짓고 이럴거면 왜하는건지 궁굼함 https://t.co/ZR0dDIL9GW

Honestly, these kinds of challenges are only interesting the first few times. Once everyone is using the same background music, making the same poses, and the same facial expressions, I don’t really get why people keep doing them.

In particular, even on the official TikTok page, Jennie’s interesting choice of fashion was hit with some backlash.
