A heated debate has started.
Koreaboo
Sexy performances are rare in K-Pop, but when they do happen, they almost always become the talk of the town. That’s exactly what happened when BLACKPINK’s Jennie made headlines after deciding to flash fans for a brief moment on stage.
The bold move has now drawn mixed reactions and lots of comparisons to Kwon Eunbi’s equally viral “Waterbomb 2025” performance.
During a recent live performance, Jennie was caught on camera briefly flashing what looked like a custom bikini-style top. While the moment was brief, it instantly sparked explosive reactions, but also criticism from netizens online.
BLACKPINK’s Jennie Goes Viral For Flashing Audience During Tour
Just weeks earlier, Kwon Eunbi’s performance at Waterbomb 2025 went viral, attracting similar reactions from online netizens.
Netizen Reactions Heavily Divided Between Kwon Eun Bi And Male Artist Performances
A viral post about Jennie’s “flashing moment” quickly gained attention and hundreds of comments, some of which had a lot of criticism.
- “If someone with a really curvy body wore that, people would’ve gone nuts and they would’ve been dragged for days.”
- “Since when did showing your underwear become considered ‘cute’?”
- “It just looks like she’s showing off some merch lol Jennie’s done way bolder performances than this, so this feels pretty tame… And judging by her expression, it really does seem playful.”
- “I like it.”
- “Kwon Eunbi gets hate, but Jennie’s called cute lol”
Some netizens even compared Jennie’s moment to Kwon Eunbi’s sexy “Crazy In Love” cover during this year’s “Waterbomb” in Seoul.
- “Neither Waterbomb nor this outfit is that revealing.”
- “I think it’s cute…? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ”
- “It’s gone from ‘cute-sexy’ to just ‘cute’ nowㅋㅋㅋㅋ”
- “I don’t get why people are hating on Waterbomb or Jennie. Is being attractive some kind of hijab now??”
- “It’s way more wholesome than what Kwon Eunbi wore, so what’s the issue?”
On the other hand, many defended both stars, claiming both of them should be left alone to do and wear whatever they want.
- ” Jeez, just leave both Kwon Eunbi and Jennie alone.”
- “What exactly was so inappropriate about Kwon Eunbi? She was at a 19+ Waterbomb event, wore a short-sleeve shirt over a bikini top, and denim shorts on the bottom.”
- “Comments like yours are the real problem. Why are you dragging other idols into this?”
- “It’s not like she was shaking her chest or twerking—at this level, it’s just cute.”
As the debate continues, one thing is clear: how idols express themselves on stage remains a hot-button issue.
