BLACKPINK‘s Jennie is truly the “IT Girl” in K-Pop. Since debuting, her influence has been unreal, and it’s not surprising that other idols have been compared to her, whether it’s because of their visuals, skills, or just aura.
One person who has been compared to Jennie is BABYMONSTER‘s Ahyeon.
Even before debuting, Ahyeon gained attention for her resemblance to Jennie in both her visuals and aura. After debuting, it continued, and the idol even addressed her feelings about the comparison, with many netizens slating her to be the next “IT Girl.”
On April 11, BYMONSTER’s TikTok posted a video to celebrate Ahyeon’s birthday.

In the video, Ahyeon showcased her visuals and aura. Yet, some of the clips within the video shocked netizens as many thought it was actually BLACKPINK’s Jennie. Wearing a classic pair of sunglasses and a cute outfit, many thought that Ahyeon exuded the same vibes as Jennie.
In particular, netizens even shared the photos of Jennie that made them see the resemblance, whether it was the idol wearing sunglasses for soundcheck or just a photo of Jennie in a similar outfit when she was enjoying some time off.
When the video was posted on TikTok, netizens couldn’t get over the Jennie aura they saw from Ahyeon.
Even on X, netizens couldn’t deny the resemblance between the two idols, especially in the clip where Ahyeon was wearing sunglasses which seemed very similar to the ones that Jennie has been spotted wearing in the past.
