People also highlighted that contrary to her "It Girl" beauty and legendary aura before, Jennie doesn't have that much in her now.

Even some international fans also agreed that there's something that changed in Jennie's appearance.

• "I think she's tired."
• "She looks pretty normal now, not as stunning as before."
• "I don't know but she looks really tired for me."

BLINKs Defend Jennie, Says It's Only Makeup Change

As the topic that the "SOLO" singer's visual has changed, her fandom BLINKs came to her defense and retorted that Jennie looks the same as ever.

Fans then proved this by sharing her most recent journalist-taken photos.

• "Jennie is Jennie. She still looks the same."
• "What are you talking about? She looks pretty now and then."

BLINKs continued to defend the idol against rumors claiming that Jennie had plastic surgery and emphasized that her appearance changed because of the change in her makeup.

Rather than the youthful "aegyo-sal" makeup popular among Korean idols, Jennie's fans argued that the idol's makeup artist now gives her the Americanized look. They also claimed that it's because she's currently promoting abroad.

In fact, the "Whistle" singer just showed her stunning beauty when Vogue Japan dropped her pictorials for the July 2023 cover of the fashion magazine on May 26.
