lmao OP your lj-cut text is A+

i'm not a fan of her performances, she looks bored as usual... and her win is no surprise either.

i just hope that the other girls will get the same treatment.

[kaykaydelight.livejournal.com]

They won’t; and it’s gonna be a mess within the fandom when it happens.

[spainawards2008.livejournal.com]

Considering the way YG is I'll be surprised if we even get through to the last member's solo. Either that or it'll get no promo because he's alreay bored of the whole idea

[sra-interesante.livejournal.com]

oooohh that was fast ... but her song keeps #1 on many korean charts i guess it was a matter of time

[normanikordei.livejournal.com]

how did she get points for physical sales with a digital single? lol

[rojounotori.livejournal.com]

I think it was released as a physical cd/photobook, so maybe it's from that? (the only reason why I even know that exists is from the yesasia ads here on Omona lol)

[miwa201.livejournal.com]

she sold 20k of her photobook

[sra-interesante.livejournal.com]

its possible, IU did the same last month and BBI BBI only was a digital single 🤷

actually BBI BBI got inkigayo triple crown and iu didnt released an album either ... apparently there's no rule against having too much digital points and zero physical points

[normanikordei.livejournal.com]

that's not what I meant. I know its possible to win with a digital only release, especially on inkigayo when physicals only count for 5%. I just was wondering how jennie got 253 points in the physical category with a digital single. however, the two commenters above informed me that she has a photobook that counts toward that score.

she looks gorgeous and she sounds better here than during the tour but it still looks like she lacks confidence on stage. the backup dancers kill it during the dance break though

[love-keiko.livejournal.com]

the song is so cute and i love the choreo buuuuuuut

every time i see this live i keep thinking of how someone like chungah or hyuna or hyorin or sunmi would body the fuck out of it.

i hope one of them do a cover just to satisfy my curiosity bc jennie is just not a PERFORMER

[krispy-bacon.livejournal.com]

Exactly...she has NO stage presence. She's just going through motions. :( This song needs someone who can really be like FUCK IT I'M GOING SOLO and she's just not servin it.

Love the song, though.

[goldenrosalie.livejournal.com]

yeah i really wish she was promoting on some other shows because inki camerawork is usually messy by default but those angles... it was hard to get through this performance and honestly at several points it felt like they are trying to go for upskirt shot. who asked for this.

[sayuridoll.livejournal.com]

you know yg only goes on inki and they only let her promote two weeks later... this is probably her only stage tbh, lol.

[blck-ink.livejournal.com]

congrats!

she just needed more experience performing with her group cause she doesn't look ready.

[rojounotori.livejournal.com]

I still enjoy this song, but this performance is really boring honestly. It's weird because I feel like she does fine when she's with the group, but as a solo artist she's really uninspiring. It lacks energy.

[accioanime.livejournal.com]

She gets away with it in a group setting cause the other girls cover for her, but fans are slowly noticing how she is unbothered with choreo or forgets lyrics a lot. Lisa would do some of her rap sometimes when she stops. Here's a sample of her laziness:

[kimbafierce.livejournal.com]

I generally really hate it when everyone is pulling their weight except for one lazy ass person, but I especially hate it when it's a performance cuz my eyes automatically follow the lazy person and s/he ruins it for me.

I don't know if this is an image thing for her, but it's not a good look at all. I mean girl you only have 9 songs..

[myungung.livejournal.com]

damn this is bad, like I would expect concerts to be much better since people pay big bucks for it and you practice quite hard for a concert usually

[rojounotori.livejournal.com]

I feel like she used to be better than this at least? Like from debut up until AIIYL (granted, I've never payed that much attention to her because I find her to be the least interesting out of all of them). She was criticized a lot during DdDDdD because she was like this already then, although a lot of fans pretended that she wasn't, so I guess I shouldn't be suprised.

[shawarmafordays.livejournal.com]

wtfff yikes.

This is so bad. I saw this huge discussion go around on Twitter by Blinks defending this and saying that people are just hating on her and they only will GAF if she has a mental breakdown and I'm like, points were made but this isn't it.

She's not doing anything, I couldn't watch it full way because it looks so lazy :/

What is going on.

And the fact that they're going on a world tour with 9 songs and this stage presence...what

[thebloomroom.livejournal.com]

Lol im playing omona catchup and YGE had the link pulled. Ahha damage control

[sciencebottle.livejournal.com]

She looks stunning in that outfit, but how the hell could she be comfortable dancing in that? That get up sure as hell isnt going to make her less stiff. She seems to have a bit more energy in this performance, but the camerawork isn't doing her justice.

That being said, I am happy for her success. I hope that this will contribute to letting her become more comfortable on stage so she can let go a bit more and have fun with it.

[infj23.livejournal.com]

This is the best performance I've seen from her.

She is so self-conscious around the cameras though. I wish she'd forget about portraying an image/concept and focus on becoming the image/concept.

[a-suitcase.livejournal.com]

I really really want to like Jennie as a solo artist, but she's (become) so lacklustre in her performances. It might just be a lack of experience and confidence, and I wish YG would've waited for another year or two and a few BP comebacks before giving her a solo. Having said that, I do wish her success and I'm happy for her that the song is doing so well.

[juhli.livejournal.com]

she looked like she enjoyed performing, although she didn't give it her best with the dancing (but i can't blame her, that's a short-ass dress)

[kkslider.livejournal.com]

sorry but i've been dying @ this gif all morning


that being said, i have warmed up to this song somewhat

[sayuridoll.livejournal.com]

this gif bye

[senshicalico.livejournal.com]

lmao she looks like she's nonchalantly losing her balance

[petecarl.livejournal.com]

Your drunk aunt dancing. All that's missing is the glass of wine in her hand.

[rainstormraider.livejournal.com]

This was the only low point!

You can’t shake what you don’t have! It’s not her fault!

[ashdevilrun23.livejournal.com]

oh nooo lol

[chenetic.livejournal.com]

Hmmmmm.

There's just zero presence

[donutism.livejournal.com]

how did her stage presence manage to go....backwards. i dont remember her being this bad of a performer when they debuted. guess she go lazy

its a shame YG will prob do nothing for the other 3 girls. Lisa and Rose are both way better performers.

[pseudo-shigure.livejournal.com]

i think this one is fine. Not as bad as the compilation from their concert

[u-niverse.livejournal.com]

i wonder if its arrogance settling in? like she can get away with doing the bare minimum anyway. or worse, she may have some mental issues :/ either way, hope she can revert to badass jennie once more.

[shawarmafordays.livejournal.com]

idk what to say because I find this way better than the performance at the concert which is funny, since you're supposed to give it your all.

I don't know what happened in the past year but she needs to have a break or work on her stage presence. A lot of fans are shielding her and saying people hate her and shit but God, that video of her lazy dancing during a concert. Bye. They're a two-year old group who doesn't do a lot of activities, I wouldn't expect this sort of behaviour, so early in their career...

YG really needs to either give them a break or just make them tour till they get used to performing. This is so half-assed and the worst part is that people will shield her saying that everyone are secret antis or something, using this criticism to fuel their Jennie hate.
