In the past, many viewers called Jennie (BLACKPINK) the YG princess. And the reason comes from a series of evidence that she is biased by the “big man” of Kpop. Specifically, there was a time when YG invested more in costumes for Jennie than the other 3 members, even creating conditions for the beauty born in 1996 to make her first solo debut in the group. This is when Jennie was suspected of receiving special treatment.
However, things are changing rapidly. The evening of August 9, Koreaboo said that Jennie’s name has been removed from the homepage of an online sales website managed by YG. According to the source, when netizens click on the “Collection” section of the website, it is not difficult to realize that Jennie’s name has completely disappeared while Jisoo, Lisa and Rosé’s names are still there.
On an online store managed by YG, Jennie’s name no longer appears on the homepage along with the other 3 members’ names.
Clicking on the names of Jisoo, Lisa and Rosé, shoppers can easily choose to buy items related to concerts and solo activities. Jennie also attended the concert with BLACKPINK and had a personal music product, but her name was suddenly no longer listed on YG’s online store.
From the above move, many fans believe that Jennie is discriminated against and is no longer valued by YG as before. A part of the audience even predicted that Jennie would not re-sign with the management company, so her name was removed from the homepage of the online sales website.
Besides the torrent of criticisms aimed at YG for unfair treatment of Jennie, there are also many netizens who believe that the female idol’s name born in 1996 suddenly disappeared from the website due to a system error.
Up to now, YG has not officially commented on the information related to Jennie published by the media.
In the past time, information related to BLACKPINK’s contract extension has attracted much attention from fans. As long as YG has not made a final announcement about their future, many fans are still worried as if they are “sitting on the fire”.
