A recent post on the Korean online community Pann has ignited intense debate by suggesting that BLACKPINK’s Jennie may be copying Hwasa, the charismatic member of MAMAMOO. Titled “Honestly, it feels like Jennie is copying Hwasa..”, the post quickly gained traction, racking up nearly 53,000 views in a short span.
The original poster (OP) wrote, “Why does Jennie give off so much of a Hwasa vibe these days? She’s starting to look more and more like Hwasa,” alongside several photos of Jennie at recent public events. While the post stopped short of a detailed critique, its implications were enough to stir a wave of discussion.
However, instead of sparking division, the majority of netizens rallied in defense of Jennie. Many argued that both idols possess strong, distinct identities and that comparing them only diminishes their individual impact.
Comments on Pann:
- What the… Even Hwasa fans would be baffled by this post.
- They must be insanely jealous because Jennie’s solo album was a huge hit.
- Why would Queen Jennie copy some irrelevant “Pann queen” with no buzz? LOL. That’s like saying Karina is copying Good Thing-ryun — what nonsense.
- Why on earth would Jennie copy Hwasa;;;; They don’t look alike at all.
- These days, the hot girl concept… it feels like it’s overly aimed at the international market… but it’s so over the top that it doesn’t look hot — it looks dirty…
As Jennie continues to make headlines for her global fashion influence and Hwasa for her boundary-pushing artistry, the online debate reflects a broader conversation about individuality and influence in the K-pop industry — where style, presence, and expression often overlap but are uniquely owned.
