After the controversy surrounding her wardrobe malfunction during the “Filter” performance at “The Ruby Experience” show in Los Angeles, Jennie made an impressive comeback with a new look that was both chic and sensual on March 11 in New York. Gone were the thin, white jumpsuit that had caused some awkward moments, and in its place, Jennie opted for a sleek red top from a Vietnamese designer, paired with low-rise shorts.
This outfit choice created the perfect balance of athleticism and sensuality, giving off a bold, American-style vibe that garnered widespread praise from fans and fashion critics alike. Her new look was not only praised for its confidence but also set to become a trendsetter in the fashion world.
As always, Jennie knows how to make an impact, and her “Filter” performance in New York did not disappoint, though it sparked an entirely different kind of reaction than her previous performance. While her outfit no longer drew any controversy, her stage presence certainly did. In a bold move that captured the essence of the song’s message, Jennie decided to make a statement by incorporating a daring moment into her performance.
Initially, her red outfit had been paired with long jeans for other stages like “Like JENNIE, with the ie (way up),” but during “Filter,” Jennie made a noticeable change. On stage, she allowed her male dancers to strip off their long pants, leaving only their shorts on, which caused quite a stir among fans. This act of increasing boldness and freedom on stage left many in shock, particularly due to the sensual energy that Jennie exuded.
Despite the positive reactions from some fans, this bold moment did spark some mixed responses, especially from certain Asian fans. Many felt that Jennie could have been more restrained and that a female dancer would have been more appropriate for this particular part of the performance to avoid uncomfortable situations. Since embracing a more Western-style, seductive image, Jennie has continued to be the center of debates. Several Korean fans have criticized her revealing moments and provocative choreography as inappropriate for her image, arguing that it crosses cultural boundaries.
After completing her performances in Los Angeles and New York, Jennie is set to bring “The Ruby Experience” to Seoul, South Korea. Fans are eagerly awaiting what surprises she will have in store for her live album stage, particularly in her home country, where cultural expectations around performances can differ.
Many are excited to see how Jennie will adapt her bold stage moments to suit local tastes, hoping that she and her team will find a balanced approach that avoids causing further controversies. Fans are especially looking forward to how Jennie will continue to push boundaries while considering the cultural and artistic context of her performances, all while staying true to her iconic, bold style.
