A recent online discussion has drawn attention to BLACKPINK member Jennie’s appearance, with a post on Korean forum Pann Nate going viral: “What’s wrong with Jennie’s mouth..? It’s not even a malicious screenshot, but looking at her mouth just gives me an uncanny valley kind of feeling.”
The post, which spread quickly across forums and social media, referred to an image of Jennie’s appearance on You Quiz on the Block that some users found visually unsettling, despite it not being edited or intentionally distorted.
The term “uncanny valley” is commonly used to describe discomfort triggered by something that looks almost human but not quite natural—usually in robotics or CGI. Applying it to a celebrity’s appearance has sparked controversy.
Netizens rallied behind Jennie, emphasizing that the idol is often unfairly judged and that a single frame doesn’t capture the full picture.
- Jennie’s mouth cave is seriously charming — such clueless people, tsk tsk.
- Honestly, I just find posts like this funny. No matter how much you diss Jennie, all you’re doing is insulting your own face, which is hundreds of times less attractive than hers…? LOL.
- Auntie, I understand you’re upset that Jennie has become a huge hit, but please get a grip on yourself. Writing posts like this and spreading manipulative rumors early in the morning on weekdays seems really pathetic…
- Your life itself is just one big uncanny valley.
- Wow, seriously, the title of the post is just the typical way 2nd to 3rd generation female idol fanatics talk, haha. “Why does Jennie’s mouth look like that?” ;; It’s so childish, the title alone shows their age… It’s really pathetic…
Jennie, known for her confident stage presence and fashion influence, has often been the subject of intense public attention—both positive and critical. Her fans argue that such nitpicking is baseless and distracts from her talent and accomplishments.
