it does look like jennie's wearing a bindi, which giiiiirl why :(

[oh-folk.livejournal.com]

Fuck. That is indeed a bindi. I thought (and hoped) my computer screen was just dirty.

[jyushimatsu.livejournal.com]

I was gonna wipe my screen but then I saw everyone talking about the bindi

[glokmusic.livejournal.com]

Haha Jennie is canceled lmao

[weneedmedicine.livejournal.com]

this is the best rose has ever looked. goddamn

[sjtaazrz.livejournal.com]

It's been how many years since 2NE1's "Fire" (and "Falling in Love)? Hasn't YGE found another way to add whatever flair, fun, or exoticism they're attempting here?

Aside from that everything looks good, although not cohesive. They're all kind of elegant and wearing pearls and jewels but Jennie's solo looks more youthful and colorful.

I love Jennie's features, girl should have been a model.

[pourtant.livejournal.com]

isn't she one basically

[bubble-monkey9.livejournal.com]

that's a terrible pic of Jisoo..

jennie is really gorgeous and reminds me of the typical ~evil second female lead in kdramas (that I always end up stanning!)

[showminomoney.livejournal.com]

The girls looking gorgeous as per usual! I can't wait to see more of this 80's concept they have going on so far, I've been loving the preview outfits that yg's been posting (only on his IG for some reason..)

I'm not gonna say whether I agree with these tweets or not but here are what SOME people have said in reaction to the Bindi

obviously I know that the opinions of few don't represent everyone but it'd be interesting to see what this community would say before they throw Jennie under the bus. If anything I'm more annoyed at the stylist

[horichansenpai.livejournal.com]

I have... not read good things about the 2nd twitter user so I'm definitely not going to listen to them lol, can't comment on the other user

My say (which is yes it is appropriation) doesn't hold much weight bc it doesn't involve me and I know little but while some desi people aren't offended many other desi people have stated it's offensive and have explained why so I feel obliged to listen to them the most. (I also recall some similar discussions when Mamamoo wore bindis if you can be bothered finding that post.)

Either way I'd be angry at the stylist first, idk enough about Jennie

[miyozari.livejournal.com]

Really... the "My Indian friend" card? We don't even need to talk about the second one. He's a mess. Now, c'mon this just a veiled attempt at trying to defend her. You only picked users, who're not criticizing her. My family is from South Asia and I can tell you I'm not surprised or disappointed, it's just as expected from YG, the messy culture vulture. I'm just amazed at the fact that y'all are still trying to defend this shit in freaking 2018.

[belintuchiha.livejournal.com]

sadly, people will always defend their faves

[dior-chic.livejournal.com]

I completely agree

[miwa201.livejournal.com]

loonairr is a racist troll

[torontok.livejournal.com]

You're really linking Loonairr, the racist troll who comments on pictures of random hijabis saying they're going to be beheaded by their fathers and posted blackface edits of LOONA members? Mess.
It's clear you only cherry-picked users who weren't offended and ignored those of South Asian users who were, this transparent attempt at caping for your unnies is pathetic

[miyozari.livejournal.com]

Rose is very pretty.

[jillyjellly.livejournal.com]

jennie stunning as per usual

[shcjplnktn.livejournal.com]

Well well. Look at this community.

[saemcrh.livejournal.com]

How vague.

[belintuchiha.livejournal.com]

didn't expect any less lol

[saemcrh.livejournal.com]

The girls looks amazing, I love their styling (for the most part).

As for the bindi, it's not my place to comment, but it's really something that some defending it online go to the "lmao stupid oversensitive SJWs" route, it's nagl.

[glokmusic.livejournal.com]

I’m desi so.... I don’t like seeing it but it’s more the stylists fault than hers. Still, I’m disappointed that I still have to deal with this in 2018 sjfjdytdjvug

[dior-chic.livejournal.com]

Yea I’m not directly blaming her but I have no problem judging the stylist and the company that approved this, so I’m not going to support this nonsense

[miwa201.livejournal.com]

i would hope that no one is actually blaming her, surely by now people have realized none of the blackpink girls have any say in their career

[aridnili.livejournal.com]

The bindi issue is clearly a YG thing, this and other cultural appropriation stuff they do to look edgy. I don't think people should blame Jennie instead.

[veep-throat.livejournal.com]

Blackpink is fucking stupid lol

[veep-throat.livejournal.com]

They never learn do they

Hyuna, cosmic nobodies, oh my girl, these hoes

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

How classy of you to call girls that have no input in their careers "hoes"

[veep-throat.livejournal.com]

blah blah "no input" sure keep believing that!

[pero, like (from livejournal.com)]

Don't forget dara

[veep-throat.livejournal.com]

this omona, i call everyone that, etc

[miyozari.livejournal.com]

As long as fans continue to buy their shit, they never will.

[torontok.livejournal.com]

Lee Hyori was rubbing her taint across the stage to the Gayatri Mantra and people are still out there calling her Queen.they don't care

[belintuchiha.livejournal.com]

don't expect anything from most people here lol
and fans in general, they'll continue believing their faves have no input and so excuse their shitty behavior

[veep-throat.livejournal.com]

yeah srsly. using the word hoes more upsetting to them i guess!
