Here's what people are saying.

Jennie's Charisma Decoded: What Makes Her Status as Korea's Ultimate BLACKPINK Bias?

On October 13, netizens discussed why Jennie was so popular among the general public in Korea.

The original author clarified that BLACKPINK's core fandom BLINKs were excluded and narrowed the focus on the general public, which Jennie has the most appeal, according to OP.

It mentioned that while Lisa was the most popular BLACKPINK member overseas, the author asked for everyone's opinions regarding Jennie's impact in domestic areas.

Read OP's caption below:

"I'm not talking about the core fans. If I think of an idol being the 'public's pick,' Jennie always comes into my mind. (You can also see it in the ranking of 'You & Me' in the music charts).

Lisa is the most popular member if we view it in terms of global presence. However, why is Jennie so popular in Korea? Is it because she solidified her hip and cool image in her twenties and thirties?"

Consistent Variety Show Appearances During Rookie Days

Charming Presence, Stage Charisma, and Duality

• "She is the definition of 'It' factor."
