- Both are pretty.
- When I think of Gentle Monster, I still think of Jennie.

- Jennie is just so pretty and hip. Leaving any controversy aside, both are beautiful, but when Jennie wore the glasses, it made me really want to buy them. She was overwhelming in that way.
- They replaced Jennie… I’m devastated.
- I totally dislike Karina, but in this case, I think she did better.
