She was a solo artist who shone even when alone. How did Jennie get caught in a controversy over exposure?
Fans were surprised to see the video posted on Jennie's official Instagram on the 9th. This was taken from Jennie's 'The Ruby Experience' concert held two days earlier in Los Angeles, California. In the video, she showcased various outfits, some of which had a high level of exposure.
Responses were mixed. Jennie wore a white sheer jumpsuit that was cut down to her navel, which made her cleavage clearly visible when she bent over, stunning onlookers. In the fan cam, she seemed busy adjusting her outfit. The bottoms were also excessively short, resembling underwear.
Outfits that seemed to bind her chest also drew mixed reactions. The style excessively exposing the chest, as well as the outfit revealing her ribs, elicited extreme reactions from fans. While international fans were ecstatic, those nostalgic for Jennie's image during her BLACKPINK days found it completely unappealing.
As it is her first solo album released globally on the 7th, Jennie put significant effort into this comeback. She included 15 songs across various genres in her 'Ruby' album, featuring the title track 'like JENNIE,' and likely wanted to showcase the results of her growth by personally producing the album.
Therefore, despite the exposure controversy, Jennie posted on social media, saying, "I still feel like I am dreaming about the Los Angeles concert. Thank you for the love and support over the past two days. 'Ruby' remains the same." It seems she's satisfied with her solo journey.
However, her video has been stirring online continuously. It remains to be seen whether Jennie will be recognized for her first solo studio album despite the exposure controversy.
